🧵[1/5] Qwen3.5 demonstrates the potential of hybrid LLMs. But how well do the Linear Attention layers manage their associative memory? Previous research indicates a low effective rank, which we show: 1. Amplifies query noise 2. Poorly conditions gradients 3. Wastes memory.





Last night, @agupta and I hosted a great dinner with 14 professors at #NeurIPS2025 from leading academic labs across the US, and many cited compute in academia as "abhorrent". Out of curiosity I just pulled these stats. This is insane. To do meaningful AI research today you need at least 1 GPU/student. Likely 8+ to be honest. The best university (Princeton) is at 0.8 GPUs/student. Stanford is at 0.14 GPUs/student. Marlowe (Stanford's "super cluster") has only 248 H100s for the whole CS Dept to use. Every frontier lab has >100k. This needs to be fixed.







Our Principal Investigators @orvieto_antonio , @CeleMenDu, @maximilian_dax , Rediet Abebe, @Shiwei_Liu66, @tk_rusch, and @wielandbr are looking for motivated students interested in doing an internship at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen. The start date and duration of the internship can be discussed directly with the PI, or you can mention your preferences in your motivation letter. Learn more about their research groups on our website: institute-tue.ellis.eu/research-c48d1… Apply by completing the form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Join the ELLIS Institute Tübingen and become a part of the @Cyber_Valley community! 🙌










We are pleased to invite you to NUS (@NUSingapore)-Swiss AI Workshop on Wed April 23 (a day before @iclr_conf #ICLR2025 in Singapore). Register for the workshop here (seats are limited!!!): forms.office.com/pages/response… This workshop is co-organized with the Swiss AI Initiative, a joint effort by ETH Zurich and EPFL. It features invited speakers sharing on their research, lightning talks by ETH Zurich/EPFL students as well as presentations on the Singapore and Swiss National AI Initiatives. This event is part of the Singapore AI Research Week (smartnation.gov.sg/singapore-ai-r…) that is held in parallel with ICLR 2025. For more details, see below: NUS-Swiss AI Workshop Date: Wednesday April 23, 2025 Time: 2–6pm (Registration starts from 1.30pm) Venue: NUS School of Computing COM3 Multi-purpose Hall (#01-27) 11 Research Link, Singapore 119391 Singapore Light refreshments will be served.
