Enjoyed discussing The Insider's Guide to Innovation at Microsoft with @EdMylett and @candydvalentino. We dove straight into the universality of innovation practices and the fact that we are all entrepreneurs, regardless of company size. My coauthor JoAnn's comment on "flipping the painting" was the perfect conclusion to this fascinating discussion. Check out the full episode through the links in the comments!

Responsible AI in Practice: I'm excited to share my conversation with Matthew DeMello on Responsible AI practices. Rather than a technical discussion, we focused on practical steps that companies can take today to make AI safter. A deeper exploration is found in my forthcoming book The Insider's Guide to Innovation at Microsoft. Discussion: soundcloud.com/emerjairesearc… Book: innovationatmicrosoft.com

Important work by my @microsoft colleagues. A year ago, we showed that prompting techniques (Medprompt) could enable a generalist model (GPT-4) to outperform a specialist (MedPaLM-2) on medical challenge questions. This latest work suggests that o1 may have internalized aspects of those prompting techniques, though at the expense of higher computation costs.

Analysis of o1-preview on medical benchmarks, comparing o1's native inference-time powers to prior work on Medprompt, a different approach to inference-time analysis. Assessment: o1 reaches new heights--and shows great promise for medical applications. tinyurl.com/9yspcpm6

A very cool application of Mechanistic Interpretation to domains beyond natural language. Will be keeping an eye on this work by @liambai21 and @etowah0.
Liam Bai@liambai21

Remember Golden Gate Claude? @etowah0 and I have been working on applying the same mechanistic interpretability techniques to protein language models. We found lots of features and they’re... pretty weird? 🧵

Just started at @OpenAI and I couldn't be more excited to join at this pivotal moment of safe AGI development! Met so many old friends already, talent density of this place is just insane!! Thank you all for the warm welcome, and in particular @sama. Now let the unicorns fly!

A key limitation for mechanistic interpretation of LLMs is the high level of technical knowledge required. This demo shared by @mengk20 of @TransluceAI looks ahead to an interface that could allow non-technical users to both interpret and steer LLMs. Exciting work!
Kevin Meng@mengk20

why do language models think 9.11 > 9.9? at @transluceAI we stumbled upon a surprisingly simple explanation - and a bugfix that doesn't use any re-training or prompting. turns out, it's about months, dates, September 11th, and... the Bible?

Should we trust LLM evaluations on publicly available benchmarks?🤔 Our latest work studies the overfitting of few-shot learning with GPT-4. with @HarshaNori Vanessa Rodrigues @besanushi and Rich Caruana Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2404.06209 More details👇 [1/N]

Why do leadership teams fail to react even when disruption is immanent? This article deconstructs the reasons for paralysis and points out useful solutions. Particularly important is the discussion on managing leadership attention. The attention of the top leaders is like the company's neocortex -- keeping it focused on the most important topics leads to better decision making. We can think of this as "corporate mindfulness". Thanks to @rgmcgrath for a great share!
Rita Gunther McGrath@rgmcgrath

This is great piece - there are so many examples of companies that "saw" things coming at them but seem to be paralyzed. Useful ideas.
