The FAIR Montréal office is expanding! We're looking for folks to join us who are exciting about world modelling. Hiring for both recent grads as well as more experienced researchers. Feel free to reach out, but please read the posting first :) metacareers.com/profile/job_de…

@geoffreyhinton Canada strong 😎

I just had my first ride with HOVR, a Canadian alternative to Uber. They are cheaper and pay their drivers more. They already have over 3000 drivers in the Greater Toronto Area. You can download HOVR in App Store and Google Play using this link 📷 appurl.io/_njqzPQ57k

@thegautamkamath @eatcs_secretary Well deserved! Congrats!

I am honoured (and still a bit stunned) to receive the 2026 Presburger Award from @eatcs_secretary. This recognizes 1 or 2 young scientists for outstanding contributions in theoretical CS This honour is shared w my collaborators, students, institutions, & research community 1/7

@kangxue_yin Wildest intro vid ever. Very nice.

🚀We just released Asset Harvester, an image-to-3D model and end-to-end pipeline that extracts real object assets from autonomous driving videos! 🌐 Website: research.nvidia.com/labs/sil/proje… 💻 Code: github.com/nvidia/asset-h… [1/5] #AssetHarvester #AVSimulation #WorldModel #AutonomousDriving

Video models as Physics simulators. 🌍🎥 [1/] In our latest work, WinDiNet, we finetuned a pre-trained video model into a differentiable physics engine. 1000x faster than traditional CFD solvers. Project page: rbischof.github.io/windinet_web/ Abs: arxiv.org/abs/2603.21210

🚨 Attention aspiring PhD students 🚨 Meta / FAIR is looking for candidates for a joint academic/industry PhD! Keywords: AI for Math & Code. LLMs, RL, formal and informal reasoning. You will be co-advised by prof. @Amaury_Hayat from ecole des ponts and yours truly. You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with the excellent FAIR codegen team and fellow FAIR PhD students in Paris, have access to state of the art pre- and post-training infra, and significant amounts of compute. A joint industry / academic PhD gives you the best of both worlds: academic freedom, open science & open source, a ton of compute, and talented colleagues working as a team. Ideal candidates should have strong engineering & experimentation skills, strong math skills, and a solid understanding of ML & RL foundations. We want to move fast so apply ASAP at the link below!

@roydanroy @ShriramKMurthi I’m 4/6, not bad. Will check out the other ones.

Here are some great books for learning: Jaynes Probability Theory, The Logic of Science MacKay Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms Marker Model Theory Shalev Shwartz and Ben David Understanding Machine Learning Rakhlin and Sridharan Statistical Learning and Sequential Prediction Orabona A Modern Introduction to Online Learning

Two of the most influential books in my life were GEB and EoPL, and it's amazing that both were written in the same department. IU CS knocked out real bangers.

While I agree the actual impact of THIS preemptive-compliance is small, we have to push back as a community at the onset or risk normalizing exclusion. Will not be reviewing or submitting to @NeurIPSConf this year

Great opportunity for robotics research!

Bullish on the Montreal AI ecosystem!

Montreal deep tech scene is getting hot!! Many recent hires of Cohere, Mistral, Periodic Labs, Poolside are all based in Montreal. And now, AMI will have an office here 🔥 It's a no-brainer, though. @Mila_Quebec has the highest concentration of deep learning expertise with interdisciplinary connections. Thanks to recent US regulation changes on immigration, no more brain drain! Let's build more in Canada!

If you're going to ICLR next month and are interested in research at Meta, it's a good idea to come to our event there: events.atmeta.com/iclrnetworking… (I'm unfortunately not going to iclr this year - not sure yet which conference I'll go to)

Vim is so back

Long-context is so good now that my vscode can’t keep up. It freezes up from having to store too much text in the tab

2 weeks of 2025 work = 1 day of 2026 work I can’t even imagine what 1 day of 2027 will be in 2025 units. What a time to be alive

We're looking to hire at all levels for the FAIR Chemistry team in Meta's Superintelligence Labs! We have three full-time positions posted across research scientist and research engineer positions, new PhD grads to senior research leaders. Links to all of the positions in reply

@levelsio Kkkkkkk

I might add at this pace Brazil is soon safer than Europe

@buutphan Nope 😬

@_dsevero See u in Brazil ;)

Accepted at ICLR2026!

@miniapeur Surely internships at big tech?

Best ways to make money during your PhD?
