I recently presented LogSieve at MSR’26: reducing CI logs for LLM-based analysis. 42% smaller logs, 40% fewer tokens, while preserving root cause analysis. Pre-print: arxiv.org/abs/2601.20148 #LLM #MLOps

🚀 UofT Computer Science is hiring 7 faculty across 3 campuses: all areas, all ranks. Apply by Dec 15. As a prof at one of the birthplaces of #DeepLearning, one of my favorite little joys is having my office just a few doors down from @geoffreyhinton's former office😊 More to love: ✨Total academic freedom (and I like freedom to work on any AI for social good topics I care about) 🤝 Warm and collegial faculty community 🌱 High tenure rate, with a culture of collaboration rather than competition web.cs.toronto.edu/employmen… Please share widely. We'd love to welcome new colleagues! #FacultyHiring #ComputerScience #AcademicJobs

The Jev effect is here, @typesafeai . @MistralAI's new model Timestral does zero-shot forecasting on time-series data. I made a tool to explore it. alejandroerickson.com/2026/1…

Introducing FrontierMemory: a new way to evaluate agent memory through downstream task performance. While existing memory benchmarks focus on recall (saturated via agentic search), FrontierMemory focuses on how agents learn from experience.

It was my absolute pleasure to interview Bartosz Naskrecki @nasqret and I'm now very excited to share the interview with you. He's possibly the most knowledgeable person I know about the current capabilities of AI in math and I just learned *a lot* in this conversation (and during an amazing talk he gave at the conference we were both at). Thanks Bartosz! Plus, look at that location!! 🤩 youtu.be/jKcRLlCn2Mg?is=AZYb…

I'm delighted to announce that I have received two years of funding from Renaissance Philanthropy to build an open-source agentic computer algebra system that will work with LLMs to support mathematicians in their research. Many thanks to the selection committee and the funders!
We're delighted to announce the winners of this year’s grants from the AI for Math Fund, powered by founding donor @xtxmarkets: 22 winners, 30+ organizations, selected from 400+ applications across 50 countries. Backed by a record $17.1M from XTX Markets, bringing their total commitment to $35.1M. renaissancephilanthropy.org/… 1/2

A few weeks ago Astra gave a stunningly simple proof of the Erdős-Sós conjecture in graph theory (previously thought to be very difficult). It has been a good example of how the lifecycle of AI proofs should be: after the AI formalisation posted at erdosproblems.com/548 1/
