Insane. A 26-year-old from Chandigarh just got a paper accepted at ICML. As a solo independent researcher. From India. His name is Kunvar Thaman (@__kunvar__). For context, since ChatGPT launched 3.5 years ago, only two other solo independent researchers have achieved this. Globally. Papers at ICML are typically dominated by big AI labs/institutions, eg OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Stanford, and MIT. The research Kunvar did to pull this off was backed by a $2.5k grant from Exception Raised (@except_raised), an Indian non-profit that funds remarkable Indian AI researchers. Kunvar’s paper is about AI agent reward hacking. He created the Reward Hacking Benchmark (RHB), a sandboxed test environment where advanced AI models are given multi-step tasks using tools like files, code execution, and automated checks. The benchmark measures how honestly the model gets to the right answer.

Yes! my solo-authored paper Reward Hacking Benchmark was accepted to ICML :))) We put LLM agents in a tool-rich sandbox, give them multi-step workflows, and measure when they solve the intended task vs take unexpected shortcuts (like monkeypatching files at runtime!) 1/3

Are GPT-5's mixed reviews a sign that LLM training will change?🧐 Our take: tinyurl.com/3p2abjtk We are betting on OS contributors and small labs to chase these risky directions 🚀🤯 Our grantee, @tokenbender, is a great example with his project: RL from zero pretrain. Check it out!

An evening with Nobel Laureates in Physics! Thank you @mukeshbansal06 for bringing this incredible group together. Loved how the conversation kept circling back to one call: it’s time to "Invent in India".
