What are good optimizers for diffusion models? 🍂 TLDR: Muon and SOAP are very good. Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.19376

Not all scaling laws are nice power laws. This month’s blog post: Zipf’s law in next-token prediction and why Adam (ok, sign descent) scales better to large vocab sizes than gradient descent: francisbach.com/scaling-laws-t…

For good probability predictions, you should use post-hoc calibration. With @Eugene_Berta, Michael Jordan, and @BachFrancis we argue that early stopping and tuning should account for this! Using the loss after post-hoc calibration often avoids premature stopping. 🧵1/

Characterizing finely the decay of eigenvalues of kernel matrices: many people need it, but explicit references are hard to find. This blog post reviews amazing asymptotic results from Harold Widom (1963!) and proposes new non-asymptotic bounds. francisbach.com/spectrum-kerne…

A free book: Learning Theory from First Principles by @BachFrancis It covers a bunch of key topics from machine learning (ML) theory and practice, such as: - Math basics - Supervised learning - Generalization, overfitting & adaptivity - Tools to design learning algorithms - Optimization in ML - Local, Kernel and sparse methods - Neural networks - Ensembles - Online learning - Overparameterized models and more! The book also includes simple experiments (in MATLAB and Python), exercises, and references to more advanced material Read it here: di.ens.fr/~fbach/ltfp_bo…

Michael Jordan is indeed one of the greatest thinkers in the history of AI 🐐 Economics, incentives (mechanism design), information flow, creativity, cooperation, greed and power struggles are important topics that we crucially need to understand better for the benefit of humanity and all intelligent beings. The worst that could happen is that kind, empathetic, empowering, cooperative, helpful AIs are never realised or don’t become ubiquitous in our lives. Thanks @BachFrancis for sharing.
