🚨 New Paper 🧵 How effectively do reasoning models reevaluate their thought? We find that: - Models excel at identifying unhelpful thoughts but struggle to recover from them - Smaller models can be more robust - Self-reevaluation ability is far from true meta-cognitive awareness

The Gemini 2.0 era begins with 2.0 Flash Experimental release ⚡️ 📈2.0 Flash beats 1.5 Pro across factuality, reasoning, coding, math. 📳 More modalities - image and audio out (in EAP) 🔧 Native tool use for Google Search, code execution and 3P functions 🆕 a new multimodal, realtime API experience 🎬 3 new cool starter apps - spatial understanding, video analyzer and map explorer
We just released Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental ⚡ Available in the Gemini API and Google AI Studio for testing, it allows developers to build interactive experiences with better performance and multimodal capabilities. goo.gle/3BriaXd

It's paper review day (every day) - since I discovered that DeepMind already knows everything let's look at their latest Paper arxiv.org/pdf/2411.16679
Replying to @scaling01
bro how is it always DeepMind I might just need to go through all DeepMind papers chronologically to build AGI

🚨 New Paper 🚨 Can LLMs perform latent multi-hop reasoning without exploiting shortcuts? We find the answer is yes – they can recall and compose facts not seen together in training or guessing the answer, but success greatly depends on the type of the bridge entity (80%+ for country, 6% for year)! 1/N

Frontier models can do this stuff, but also not! Opinions differ on how much we even want this (CC @geoffreyirving), but understanding the patterns will be critical regardless. Been a pleasure to work with Latent Reasoning Dream Team @soheeyang_ @megamor2 @KassnerNora!

Amazing progress @YuxiangJWu and @zhengyaojiang, and great to see the impact of "agent scaffolding" given a base model.
Excited to see OpenAI's recent project, MLE-bench, is based on our open-source effort, AIDE. In their independent evaluation, AIDE surpasses other MLE agents by a large margin!

🚨NEW BENCHMARK🚨 Are LLMs good at linguistic reasoning if we minimize the chance of prior language memorization? We introduce Linguini🍝, a benchmark for linguistic reasoning in which SOTA models perform below 25%. w/ @b_alastruey, @artetxem, @costajussamarta et al. 🧵(1/n)

Our paper "Do Large Language Models Latently Perform Multi-Hop Reasoning?" will be presented at #ACL2024 today. 📍 Mon 14:00-15:30 Poster Session 2 (Conv. Center A1) Please visit our poster if you are interested, and catch me to chat about the latent reasoning ability of LLMs!
🚨 New Paper 🚨 LLMs excel at storing facts & in-context reasoning like CoT. But do they latently💭 reason over their parametric knowledge without answering step-by-step? We found positive evidence 👀 But it varies for different relation types, and scaling doesn't help much! 1/N
