🤔 Why do we still rely on the final layer of an LLM, when different layers encode different information? 🤔 In our new work, “Improving LLM Final Representations with Inter-Layer Geometry” (ICLR 2026 Workshop on Geometry-grounded Representation Learning and Generative Modeling) we show that actually, LLMs do not have one “best” layer. We introduce the Cayley-Encoder: an efficient and effective geometric encoder that learns one strong representation from all layer representations of the LLM, without biasing the representation toward any specific layer. While adding at most 0.1% learned parameters to the LLM, the Cayley-Encoder achieves large empirical gains over LoRA fine-tuning, final-layer representations, expensive attention-based aggregation, and methods that optimize specific layers for the task.

An exciting new course: Fine-tuning and Reinforcement Learning for LLMs: Intro to Post-training, taught by Sharon Zhou, VP of AI at AMD. Available now at Post-training is the key technique used by frontier labs to turn a base LLM--a model trained on massive unlabeled text to predict the next word/token--into a helpful, reliable assistant that can follow instructions. I've also seen many applications where post-training is what turns a demo application that works only 80% of the time into a reliable system that consistently performs. This course will teach you the most important post-training techniques! In this 5 module course, Sharon walks you through the complete post-training pipeline: supervised fine-tuning, reward modeling, RLHF, and techniques like PPO and GRPO. You'll also learn to use LoRA for efficient training, and to design evals that catch problems before and after deployment. Skills you'll gain: - Apply supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning (RLHF, PPO, GRPO) to align models to desired behaviors - Use LoRA for efficient fine-tuning without retraining entire models - Prepare datasets and generate synthetic data for post-training - Understand how to operate LLM production pipelines, with go/no-go decision points and feedback loops These advanced methods aren’t limited to frontier AI labs anymore, and you can now use them in your own applications.

As I promised yesterday, I'll briefly explain LoRA training and share a workflow I made so you can do it quickly. First, let me answer a very common question: 'Why train LoRAs when we have such advanced models?' Even though we have incredibly advanced models now (like NBP), we still can't always get them to do specific things we want. Simplest example: the spritesheet LoRA I made the other day. I generated 1000 images with Nano Banana and only 100 were what I wanted. The LoRA I trained using those 100 images gives me nearly 100% consistent results. Second point is cost and speed. With LoRA, we can cut costs by 4-5x. And while doing that, we're generating 4-5x faster. How many images do you need for a good LoRA? This depends on your LoRA's complexity. For example, when I training the spritesheet LoRA, even though I used 100 images, I didn't include buildings in the training data, so this LoRA doesn't work for buildings. So think about your LoRA's use cases and add examples for as many use cases as possible to improve quality. What are paired images and how to train LoRAs for image-editing? When training LoRAs for image editing on fal, we call each edit example paired images - one with _start suffix, one with _end suffix. For example, if you're training a background remove LoRA, the unedited original photo will be your '_start' image. The image with background removed will be the '_end' image. Simply put: images we want to edit or use as reference get _start, target images we want to achieve get '_end'. Important: save both images with the same name. Like image332_start.jpg and image332_end.jpg. This way the system knows which images pair together. What about training LoRAs for models with multiple image inputs? Same logic. We still use _start and _end suffixes, but with one difference. Since there are multiple input images, we can number them: _start, _start1, _start2. Example: start images, 1st image = Woman portrait (image35_start.jpg) 2nd image = Glasses photo (image35_start1.jpg) 3rd image = Hat photo (image35_start2.jpg) Output image = portrait of woman wearing glasses and hat (image35_end.jpg) Can we do more detailed captioning? Yes. Similarly, you can improve training quality by creating a txt file for each set with the caption inside. Example: create image35.txt and write: 'Recreate the image by putting the glasses from the second image and the hat from the third image on the woman in the first image.' What are Steps? How many should I use? What's Learning Rate? Steps determines how many times the model sees and processes your training data (your images). Each step, the model learns a bit more. But as steps increase, so does the risk of overfitting. So there's no real default. But for a simpler LoRA with 20 paired images, 1000 steps is ideal. Here's a metaphor for the Steps and Learning Rate relationship: Imagine you have a balloon. Our goal is to inflate it to the optimal size. Steps = How many times we blow into the balloon Learning rate = How hard we blow each time If we blow too softly, we need to blow many more times. If we blow too hard, we risk popping it quickly and can't reach optimal size. Of course training won't explode, but it won't work as intended because it wasn't trained optimally. Training's done, now what? Once training's complete, you'll have a safetensors file. Every model you train on fal has a LoRA inference endpoint. In that inference, add your safetensors file link to the LoRA url input, and you can use your LoRA. Thanks for the read! The workflow in the video: If I forgot anything, let me know in the replies.

Mati Staniszewski on why ElevenLabs is betting on a cascaded approach for voice agents: “Our approach, as you think about voice agents, conversational agents, is effectively a cascaded approach. You use transcription or speech-to-text, an LLM, text-to-speech, and orchestrate all of that together. Then you have speech-to-speech, which goes directly from speech, and there’s a speech response on the other side. Today, we are optimizing heavily on a cascaded approach. As we work with a lot of the businesses and enterprises, they will need that visibility into what happens. They will want to execute certain tasks on top of that. They want good visibility into each of the steps and great accuracy of all the models. But beyond that, they can abstract away what’s the LLM layer, what’s the intelligence layer, and the integrations are easier in that system. That’s where we are betting a lot of the research work on how you can make that great, and we think we can make that great.” John Collison Mati Staniszewski ElevenLabs

One great outcome of PaperWiki is personalized surveys. Survey papers continue to be one of the best ways to track a field. My agents are now generating personalized surveys on topics using my paper LLM-generated knowledge base. Self-improving and always up-to-date as new papers are published. Love how these topic wiki pages are evolving. One of my favorite views so far, but there is a lot more to do here. Plan to share these with our students at the DAIR.AI Academy so their agents can work on the frontier too. Stay tuned!

Interesting approach to long context/continual learning here from Baseten at Cursor Compact long trajectories by compressing a prefix of the KV cache using an MLP/autoencoder. You can train this "compactor" MLP by learning to reconstruct activations that the original KV cache would produce on subsequent tokens. This maximally reconstructs information from long context that's useful for subsequent outputs. If you run an agent over extremely long context and run this compaction recursively, the activations of this compressed KV cache become like trained weights. Similar to task-specific LoRA or "cartridges". Would not be surprised if OpenAI is running a similar algorithm for their blackbox compaction. Clear benefits here if you can avoid busting the cache, as e.g. compacting via writing to a text file would. Seeing many emerging approaches to fixed size latent states for LLMs that seem promising. If building a task-specific KV cache compression ends up being more sample efficient than running backprop, getting this to "work" feels like one of the 2-3 remaining breakthroughs on the path to true AGI

New Course: Post-training of LLMs Learn to post-train and customize an LLM in this short course, taught by Banghua Zhu, Assistant Professor at the University of Washington University of Washington, and co-founder of @NexusflowX. Training an LLM to follow instructions or answer questions has two key stages: pre-training and post-training. In pre-training, it learns to predict the next word or token from large amounts of unlabeled text. In post-training, it learns useful behaviors such as following instructions, tool use, and reasoning. Post-training transforms a general-purpose token predictor—trained on trillions of unlabeled text tokens—into an assistant that follows instructions and performs specific tasks. Because it is much cheaper than pre-training, it is practical for many more teams to incorporate post-training methods into their workflows than pre-training. In this course, you’ll learn three common post-training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), and Online Reinforcement Learning (RL)—and how to use each one effectively. With SFT, you train the model on pairs of input and ideal output responses. With DPO, you provide both a preferred (chosen) and a less preferred (rejected) response and train the model to favor the preferred output. With RL, the model generates an output, receives a reward score based on human or automated feedback, and updates the model to improve performance. You’ll learn the basic concepts, common use cases, and principles for curating high-quality data for effective training. Through hands-on labs, you’ll download a pre-trained model from Hugging Face and post-train it using SFT, DPO, and RL to see how each technique shapes model behavior. In detail, you’ll: - Understand what post-training is, when to use it, and how it differs from pre-training. - Build an SFT pipeline to turn a base model into an instruct model. - Explore how DPO reshapes behavior by minimizing contrastive loss—penalizing poor responses and reinforcing preferred ones. - Implement a DPO pipeline to change the identity of a chat assistant. - Learn online RL methods such as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), and how to design reward functions. - Train a model with GRPO to improve its math capabilities using a verifiable reward. Post-training is one of the most rapidly developing areas of LLM training. Whether you’re building a high-accuracy context-specific assistant, fine-tuning a model's tone, or improving task-specific accuracy, this course will give you experience with the most important techniques shaping how LLMs are post-trained today.

Can we map the mind of an LLM? Our first mechanistic interpretability episode on Training Data featuring Goodfire founder Eric Ho (and our first cameo from Roelof Botha!) Goodfire is building an independent mech interp lab, led by some heavyweight researchers from the field (e.g. Lee Sharkey who has led a lot of important work in sparse autoencoders to "unscramble" LLMs and resolve superposition, Nick who has been a key pioneer behind auto interpretability) On this episode, Eric gives us a flyover of the technical results so far from this nascent field (universality, superposition), what's ahead in the research (going from circuits to weights, going from understanding to increasingly surgical editing), a preview of the real-world work they're doing already with Arc Institute, and the impact he expects Goodfire and the broader field to have on steering, safety, editing and more.

$QVAC SDK will support in 0.9.0 (gonna be release in ~10 days) LoRA fine-tuning directly on-device, letting developers customize LLMs with their own data without sending anything to the cloud. You just load a base model, point it at your training dataset, and get a lightweight LoRA adapter back — all running locally. The fine-tuned model can then be used for inference immediately, with no extra setup. Why it matters: LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) fine-tuning lets you specialize a general-purpose language model for your specific use case — like matching a brand's tone, mastering domain terminology, or following a particular output format — using a fraction of the compute a full fine-tune would require. QVAC handles the entire workflow locally: dataset preparation, training with configurable hyperparameters, checkpoint saving, and seamless inference with the resulting adapter. Your data never leaves the device. The developer experience: Fine-tuning with QVAC is as simple as calling "sdk.finetune()" with your dataset and a few hyperparameters. Training runs entirely on your local hardware, produces a compact LoRA adapter file, and supports pause/resume so you can stop a job and pick it back up without losing progress. The result plugs straight into QVAC's inference pipeline — no model conversion, no deployment step, just immediate local completions with your fine-tuned model.$

LLM-grounded Diffusion: Enhancing Prompt Understanding of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models with Large Language Models paper page: github: Recent advancements in text-to-image generation with diffusion models have yielded remarkable results synthesizing highly realistic and diverse images. However, these models still encounter difficulties when generating images from prompts that demand spatial or common sense reasoning. We propose to equip diffusion models with enhanced reasoning capabilities by using off-the-shelf pretrained large language models (LLMs) in a novel two-stage generation process. First, we adapt an LLM to be a text-guided layout generator through in-context learning. When provided with an image prompt, an LLM outputs a scene layout in the form of bounding boxes along with corresponding individual descriptions. Second, we steer a diffusion model with a novel controller to generate images conditioned on the layout. Both stages utilize frozen pretrained models without any LLM or diffusion model parameter optimization. We validate the superiority of our design by demonstrating its ability to outperform the base diffusion model in accurately generating images according to prompts that necessitate both language and spatial reasoning. Additionally, our method naturally allows dialog-based scene specification and is able to handle prompts in a language that is not well-supported by the underlying diffusion model.
