Summary

A researcher made a video about their first ML research attempt on pruning vision-language models, including negative results, and submitted a paper to arXiv.

I made a video about my first real attempt at ML research. I started with a simple question about pruning vision-language models, spent weeks breaking Qwen2.5-VL and SmolVLM2 in different ways, hit a bunch of negative results, and eventually submitted my first paper to arXiv. https://t.co/berWTRdcvH

The author shares learnings from training a 160M parameter LLM from scratch, experimenting with architectures like multi-token prediction and hierarchical reasoning models. They emphasize the importance of fast iteration, simplifying ideas, and understanding why architectures work.

I built a device-first deterministic architecture layer for frontier LLMs and published my research. Looking for people to run a narrow test and report back results. [P]

The authors published a research paper on IQRAX, a device-first deterministic architecture layer that separates probabilistic LLM reasoning from deterministic authority, claiming 11.5x lower cost and 48.3x faster completion, and are inviting the community to run a failure-detection test on long model conversations and report results.
