On my way to #ICLR2026 to present OpenEstimate with @alanamarzoev and give a spotlight talk at the FINAI Workshop. Over the past few years, @AndrewWLo and I have been studying whether LLMs can be trusted to give sound investment advice. In my talk, I'll show that LLMs demonstrate heuristic collapse: rather than weighing all relevant factors, they latch onto a few salient features and ignore the rest. Heuristic collapse has direct consequences for whether LLMs can meet the legal standard of a fiduciary — and for AI advisors more broadly. This is one of many reasons I think investing is one of the best domains for studying LLMs. Through this domain, I've been able to study LLM reasoning, human-LLM interaction, and emergent systemic effects. If you're working on any of these topics, I'd love to meet. Come find me before or after the talk on Monday at 1:35PM!

Heading to #ICLR2026 (@iclr_conf) 🇧🇷 to present OpenEstimate! As LLMs get deployed in decision-making domains, they're increasingly expected to do subjective probability estimation, drawing on everything they know to form beliefs about unknown quantities. Our paper studies this capability with a leakage-resistant benchmark. This sits at the intersection of a few things I care about: RL in hard-to-verify domains, forecasting, and making LLMs honest about what they don't know. Come find me Saturday 10:30–1 at poster #1716 in Pavilion 3! And if you'd like to grab coffee and chat about any of these, DMs are open!

Do AI agents ask good questions? We built “Collaborative Battleship” to find out—and discovered that weaker LMs + Bayesian inference can beat GPT-5 at 1% of the cost. Paper, code & demos: gabegrand.github.io/battleship Here's what we learned about building rational information-seeking agents... 🧵🔽

🚨 New paper up on how LLMs reason under uncertainty! 🎲 Many real world uses of LLMs are characterized by the unknown—not only are the models prompted with partial information, but often even humans don't know the "right answer" to the questions asked. Yet most LLM evals focus on problems with clearly defined success criteria. There’s a gap in our understanding of how models perform in this setting. We investigate.... 🔎

Bonjour from Montreal 🇨🇦 spending the next few days here @ COLM! DM me if you’re around and want to chat about research or non-research topics, including but not limited to: reasoning under uncertainty, forecasting, summarization/RAG, and startups

after a week of deliberation finally took the leap and upgraded to the ChatGPT pro plan... feels like waking up on Christmas morning 🥲

caching can be really helpful to reduce backend load, but cache invalidation is famously one of the hard problems in CS enter readyset.io - a cache that is **always in sync** with postgres, so you don't need to invalidate stale data 😮

Cool to see @alanamarzoev 's @readysetio getting some recognition. This tech is still really early but has so much potential to make speeding up the database feel like magic. 🚀
