Yann LeCun provides detailed technical explanation of JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture), explaining why prediction should happen in representation space, methods to prevent collapse (EMA vs Infomax), and why he believes dimension-contrastive methods like SIGReg/LeJEPA are the future of self-supervised learning.
@_arohan_ I think you missed the main ideas.
  • The basic premise of JEPA is that training by reconstructio/prediction in input space is evil (or counterproductive). The details are almost always unpredictable. Hence prediction must take place in representation space, where unpredictable details are eliminated.
  • The main issue with JEPA is how to prevent collapse (in the absence of reconstruction loss). There are two classes of methods:
(1) EMA: Using weights in target encoder that are an expo

Major shift: switching from preferred languages/libraries to what AI prefers. Python dev now using Next.js for web apps, keeping Python for data/ML. Cites huge productivity gains from using 'right stack'
I have flipped from using the libraries/languages I like to using what AI prefers Swimming upstream is not worth it. For example I’m a python developer, but will be using nextjs for web apps - I’ll keep using Python for data / ML work It's also a great opportunity to learn things. there is a huge productivity gain to be had by using the right stack

Jerry Liu announces vibe-coding document extraction feature - define schemas via natural language, deploy agents for millions of docs
Vibe-coding document extraction 🤖📃✂️ We’ve created some nifty features that let you create a document extraction engine to process millions of docs purely through natural language. 1. Define the schema you want to extract through language. 2. Refine it through natural language too. 3. Deploy the agent and run it over an arbitrary number of docs! Check out the example below - deploy a workflow to extract transactions in under a minute. Sign up: t.co/XYZmx5TFz8

Analysis of ICLR 2025 Honorable Mention paper combining model cascades with speculative decoding for better quality-cost tradeoffs in LLM inference. The approach runs 'trust the small model?' decisions inside parallel verification steps.
A Honorable Mention at ICLR 2025, this paper addresses a practical problem that happens when you work with LLMs: how to get better quality-cost tradeoffs during inference. The interesting observation is that two existing approaches—model cascades and speculative decoding—have complementary strengths that nobody had combined properly. Cascades can sometimes beat the large model's quality by knowing when to trust the small model, while speculative decoding is fast because it verifies draft token

Nathan Lambert reflects on 2025 AI breakthroughs (deep research agents, code/CLI agents, search tools, image editing LLMs) and predicts exciting new form factors for 2026
The fact that 2025 gave us all of Deep Research agents, code/CLI agents, search (and Pro) tool use models, and image editing language models makes me super excited for 2026. There will almost certainly be new form factors we end using almost every day.
