Shieldstral

Antonia Calvi, Avinash Sooriyarachchi, Giada Pistilli +273

We introduce Shieldstral, a 3B-parameter policy-adaptive multimodal safety classifier that matches or outperforms models nearly 7 its size on text safety benchmarks and set…

Reasoning Arena: Trace Tournaments When Verifiable Rewards Fall Short

Han Zhou, Adam X. Yang, Laurence Aitchison +2

Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has become a leading paradigm for improving the reasoning ability of large language models through outcome-based supervision.…

Voxtral TTS

Mistral-AI, :, Alexander H. Liu +186

We introduce Voxtral TTS, an expressive multilingual text-to-speech model that generates natural speech from as little as 3 seconds of reference audio. Voxtral TTS adopts a hybrid…

Rodent-Bench

Thomas Heap, Laurence Aitchison, Emma Cahill +1

We present Rodent-Bench, a novel benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to annotate rodent behaviour footage. We evaluate state-of-t…

Voxtral Realtime

Mistral-AI, :, Alexander H. Liu +166

We introduce Voxtral Realtime, a natively streaming automatic speech recognition model that matches offline transcription quality at sub-second latency. Unlike approaches that adap…

Ministral 3

Alexander H. Liu, Kartik Khandelwal, Sandeep Subramanian +116

We introduce the Ministral 3 series, a family of parameter-efficient dense language models designed for compute and memory constrained applications, available in three model sizes:…

Learning to Skip the Middle Layers of Transformers

Tim Lawson, Laurence Aitchison

Conditional computation is a popular strategy to make Transformers more efficient. Existing methods often target individual modules (e.g., mixture-of-experts layers) or skip layers…

Massively Parallel Expectation Maximization For Approximate Posteriors

Thomas Heap, Sam Bowyer, Laurence Aitchison

Bayesian inference for hierarchical models can be very challenging. MCMC methods have difficulty scaling to large models with many observations and latent variables. While variatio…

Position: Don't Use the CLT in LLM Evals With Fewer Than a Few Hundred Datapoints

Sam Bowyer, Laurence Aitchison, Desi R. Ivanova

Rigorous statistical evaluations of large language models (LLMs), including valid error bars and significance testing, are essential for meaningful and reliable performance assessm…

Jacobian Sparse Autoencoders: Sparsify Computations, Not Just Activations

Lucy Farnik, Tim Lawson, Conor Houghton +1

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have been successfully used to discover sparse and human-interpretable representations of the latent activations of LLMs. However, we would ultimately li…

Automated Interpretability Metrics Do Not Distinguish Trained and Random Transformers

Thomas Heap, Tim Lawson, Lucy Farnik +1

Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are widely used to extract sparse, interpretable latents from transformer activations. We test whether commonly used SAE quality metrics and automatic ex…

Position: Bayesian Deep Learning is Needed in the Age of Large-Scale AI

Theodore Papamarkou, Maria Skoularidou, Konstantina Palla +22

In the current landscape of deep learning research, there is a predominant emphasis on achieving high predictive accuracy in supervised tasks involving large image and language dat…

Using Autodiff to Estimate Posterior Moments, Marginals and Samples

Sam Bowyer, Thomas Heap, Laurence Aitchison

Importance sampling is a popular technique in Bayesian inference: by reweighting samples drawn from a proposal distribution we are able to obtain samples and moment estimates from…
