We're looking for Research Scientists and Engineers to join the AI team at @iconicgamesio in London. n London. We have diverse positions including: Model Optimization/Efficient Inference, Open-Endedness/Reinforcement Learning, and Generative Vision & Multimodal Foundational Models. Apply here: ats.rippling.com/en-GB/iconic/j… Learn more about Iconic: iconicgames.io We're a small, growing team with high ownership, crafting the minds that inhabit and shape new worlds for interactive entertainment. If you're into games, blueprinting consciousness, or simply building personas that transmit and evoke feelings and emotions beyond what any chatbot assistant could ever do, this is your place. These openings are also suitable for final-year PhD students with experience in the relevant field. Any questions, my DMs are open.

I asked NeurLPS attendees for their takeaways from the world's largest gathering of AI researchers featuring @andykonwinski, @Thom_Wolf, @tszzl, @DynamicWebPaige, @natolambert, @ml_angelopoulos and more: sourcesnews.substack.com/p/googles-rise…

Invited Talk 4 "Automated Algorithmic Discovery for AI Research" from Deepak Nathani @deepaknathani11 (UC Santa Barbara)

🪩 So excited to reveal DiscoBench: An Open-Ended Benchmark for Algorithm Discovery! 🪩 It addresses the key issues of current evals with its broad task coverage, modular file system, meta-train/meta-test split and emphasis on open-ended tasks! 🧵

🪩 DiscoBench rethinks how we evaluate AI research agents. Modular codebases so your agent can focus on the most important discoveries, meta-train/meta-test splits, and a growing set of tasks spanning RL, vision, unlearning, and more. I will be talking about DiscoBench at the SEA workshop on Dec 7th from 10:30 AM. Find me at NeurIPS if you want to chat AI for scientific discovery! 🔬
