deep thoughts from @khai_loong_aw, who has a lot of deep thoughts!

What would it take for AI to learn as efficiently as a child? And how close are today's LLMs, world models, and robots?

Two targets: pretraining efficiency and zero-shot flexibility.

No AI system today has both. x.com/i/article/2118…

Chain-of-thought transformed AI reasoning, but it is limited to words.

What's the physical-world analogue?

Introducing Ψ-0.6, one model that reasons in *streams of thought*: words, depth, motion, camera pose, and imagined scenes. And it learns when to use which! 🧵

People are prophecying the death of math but actually in the last few months is the first time that I have even started thinking about hiring a math PhD as a postdoc, because the prospects of doing advanced math in my area are so much brighter now.

Yeah seriously @SakanaAILabs ImageNet or it didn’t happen… my guess is the true state of the art in bioplausible learning surpassed this years ago …

Hmm, these results are only on MNIST, which even trivial methods like Feedback Alignment work well on. Of course, everything works on MNIST! 😉

Which is why we focused on bioplausible learning that scaled w/ backprop on ImageNet 6 years ago... arxiv.org/abs/2003.01513
