someone analyzed all 5000+ accepted papers at ICLR 2026, and it's a good signal who's pushing the research of AI:
> China has surpassed the US with 43.7% of the papers
> Europe's contribution is surprisingly small (5.3% including UK)
Every AI agent today requires you to poll it for status. You ask it to do something, then you go check if it's done. That's backwards. The next interface breakthrough isn't a better model. It's a bidirectional always-on voice channel where the agent interrupts you.
My new research on Graph Neural Networks is now live on Arxiv!
The paper presents a new method to scale these models to billion-node datasets. I am grateful for the contributions of Brian Shi and Michael Benedikt, as well as industry support from Neo4j.
