New preprint alert! We often prompt ICL tasks using either demonstrations or instructions. How much does the form of the prompt matter to the task representation formed by a language model? Stick around to find out 1/N
Excited for #ICML2026 and looking forward to seeing everyone!
Hi friends (and friends I havenāt met yet)! Iāll be at ICML this year with some other folks from ML @ Jane Street. We do (really) exciting work across various machine learning domains and we canāt wait to see what the community is working onā¦ 1/N
See our open roles at janestreet.com/join-jane-strā¦ (and if you canāt find the right role for you, donāt hesitate to ping me) 3/N
Oh, and we have a PhD fellowship (no strings attached funding for a year: janestreet.com/join-jane-strā¦), too! If any of that sounds relevant to you, come find me at our booth or letās set up a coffee chat. 4/N=4.

If āgetting started with agentsā feels like setup hell ā same.
So we made a starter tutorial:
First agent running in <14 minutes, no Docker/AWS.
Laptop + API key only.

Like ~everyone, I'll also be at #NeurIPS this week! Please reach out to chat about past (goal representations, cognitive science, intrep) or current interests (LLM mental state inference, social environments for RL). Also if you have leads on great coffee, craft beer, or tacos.
We're also presenting some work! Our (@adinamwilliams @LakeBrenden @todd_gureckis ) interpretability work on task representations from different prompting forms will be poster #1016 on Friday's afternoon session (4:30-7:30, hall C/D/E)

@jcyhc_ai will present SAGE-Eval, our (w/ @LakeBrenden) systematic generalization safety benchmark at poster #1104 on Friday AM (11-2).
John does fantastic work and he's open to RE/RS roles or PhD positions in AI Safety. If you're hiring, talk to him!

Stop by the Meta booth tomorrow, Wednesday Dec 3rd at #NeurIPS in San Diego! š¤š±
We demo our new research environment, OpenApps, for digital agents. Generate thousands of app versions to train and evaluate multimodal agents to use apps like humans do.
Not attending? Stay tuned
My team at FAIR at Meta is recruiting interns for next summer! If you're a PhD student interested in questions around theory of mind in language models for social, multi-agent settings, and have relevant background and/or experience: metacareers.com/jobs/1821713ā¦
Other great humans you might end up working with include @bvp22294, @AnsongNi, and @real_asli (in addition to several twitter-less folks).
Feel free to reach out with any questions! (though it may take me a bit to reply)
Belated update #2: my year at FAIR @AIatMeta through the AIM program was so nice that Iām sticking around for the long haul.
Iām excited to stay at FAIR and work with @real_asli and friends on fun LLM questions; Iāll be working from the New York office so weāre sticking around.
Belated update #1: I defended my PhD about a month ago! I appreciate the warm reception from everyone who made it in-person and virtually. Thanks to my committee, @LerrelPinto, @togelius, and Mark Ho for your feedback and fun questions.
I owe tremendous thanks to many other people, all (or, hopefully, at least most) of whom I mentioned in my acknowledgments. Iām also so grateful my dad could represent my family, and for my wife, Sarah, for, well, everything.
