I've been getting a lot of DMs about Jev and how it relates to our RLCR (RL with Calibration Rewards) paper. Whatever the connection, anyone who's talked research with me in the last year knows I can go on and on about calibration as one of the most overlooked parts of post-training, so I'm really happy to see it finally getting attention.

If we want models that are actually useful in the real world, in healthcare, law, or scientific discovery, they need to know what they don't know. That's why I've spent so long thinking about better paradigms for uncertainty-aware decision making.

There's still so much to do: training more calibrated models, building systems that interact well with users in uncertain settings (life🙂), and figuring out how to evaluate all of it in a way that reflects real workflows instead of completion based rewards. DMs open if you want to chat!

(congrats to @CompleteSkeptic on the launch, and thanks to @rasbt for the great writeup!)

Took a while, but here it is, a mega write-up on language models for text classification and, of course, Jev.

It's basically a visual guide to RNNs, CNNs, transformers, and calibration, with hands-on experiments on accuracy and efficiency.

Excited to be helping organize the Agent Evaluation Science Symposium in NYC. We have a great speaker lineup, including @jaseweston, @yoavartzi, @nouhadziri, and more. Register or submit your work!

(to all the people I've yapped with about uncertainty evals recently - this would be a great place to submit!)
📢 Just wrapped up some cool agent evaluation work for ICLR? Or are you simply interested in learning more about the evals landscape? Come to our Agent Evaluation Science Fall Symposium in New York City on November 20, 2026 where we bring together researchers & practitioners!

The day will focus on how agents should be scientifically evaluated, with topics spanning measurement and benchmark design, reliability, safety, and real-world performance. If you have some exciting work in this space, please consider submitting it for poster presentation!

Abstract registration deadline: October 20
Submission deadline: October 25
OpenReview: openreview.net/group?id=evals…

We are also excited to welcome a strong lineup of speakers, with more to be announced. Confirmed so far: @yoavartzi (Cornell Tech), @jaseweston (Meta AI), @nouhadziri (Cohere Labs), @PeterHndrsn (Princeton University), @walesalaudeen96 (Microsoft Research), @criticalneuro (Microsoft Research), and @saurabhjha2010 (IBM Research).

Important: You do not need to submit work in order to join! Just register through the Luma link below. If space becomes limited however, we will prioritize authors with accepted submissions.

Register: luma.com/cxmx1g4n
Details: evalscience.org/2026fall-nyc/

Huge thanks to the entire organizing team, including @yininghua, @HongbinNLP, @manuelcherep, @dubrovnik07, @HuaYilun, @ishapuri101, @liuzhuang1234, Lori Chibnik, @vbingliu, @CsabaSzepesvari, @PeterStone_TX, @sirrice, @ang3linawang, and @nikhilsinghmus for putting this together!

Feel free to reach out with any questions and we hope to see many of you there!
