OpenThoughts-Agent: Data Recipes for Agentic Models
Negin Raoof, Richard Zhuang, Marianna Nezhurina +47
Agentic language models dramatically expand the applications of AI yet little is publicly known about how to curate training data for broadly capable agents. Existing open efforts…
FrontierSmith: Synthesizing Open-Ended Coding Problems at Scale
Runyuan He, Qiuyang Mang, Shang Zhou +14
Many real-world coding challenges are open-ended and admit no known optimal solution. Yet, recent progress in LLM coding has focused on well-defined tasks such as feature implement…
When Attention Collapses: How Degenerate Layers in LLMs Enable Smaller, Stronger Models
Sunny Sanyal, Ravid Shwartz-Ziv, Alexandros G. Dimakis +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) are known for their performance, but we uncover a significant structural inefficiency: a phenomenon we term attention collapse. In many pre-trained dec…
Terminal-Bench: Benchmarking Agents on Hard, Realistic Tasks in Command Line Interfaces
Mike A. Merrill, Alexander G. Shaw, Nicholas Carlini +82
AI agents may soon become capable of autonomously completing valuable, long-horizon tasks in diverse domains. Current benchmarks either do not measure real-world tasks, or are not…
OpenThoughts: Data Recipes for Reasoning Models
Etash Guha, Ryan Marten, Sedrick Keh +47
Reasoning models have made rapid progress on many benchmarks involving math, code, and science. Yet, there are still many open questions about the best training recipes for reasoni…
DataComp-LM: In search of the next generation of training sets for language models
Jeffrey Li, Alex Fang, Georgios Smyrnis +56
We introduce DataComp for Language Models (DCLM), a testbed for controlled dataset experiments with the goal of improving language models. As part of DCLM, we provide a standardize…
