POWERFUL NOUS FINE-TUNE OF THE 34B YI MODEL (HUGGINGFACE HUB)

Nous research has released a very strong 34B model built on top of the bilingual Yi model. Capybara is trained primarily on multi-turn data with more than 1000 tokens per conversation, which makes it uniquely positioned for certain user-facing tasks with high information density.

LLM DECONTAMINAOR

When new models come out with astounding capabilities, it is natural to question whether they actually trained on the validation data or on benchmarks. Decontamination is the process of removing such testing data from the input. The LMSYS group found that if you rephrase test data in a way that passes decontamination but still contains information about the benchmark, you can fake your way to amazing performance.

MONODIFFUSION: DEPTH ESTIMATION WITHOUT GROUND-TRUTH

This study introduces MonoDiffusion, a novel framework for self-supervised monocular depth estimation, which uniquely approaches the challenge as an iterative denoising process. It utilizes a pseudo ground-truth diffusion process guided by a pre-trained teacher model to improve depth map accuracy without using actual depth ground-truth in training.

LANGUAGE MODELS CAN USE STEGANOGRAPHY TO HIDE THEIR REASONING

A study by Redwood Research reveals that large language models (LLMs) can master "encoded reasoning," a form of steganography allowing LLMs to embed intermediate reasoning steps in generated text, making them undecipherable to humans.
