We are grateful to all of the 17,491 reviewers who helped make #CVPR2026 possible. We are especially pleased to recognize the following Outstanding Reviewers, whose high-quality reviews (as judged by their Area Chairs) placed them among the top 5% of reviewers.
Did a very different format with @reinerpope – a blackboard lecture where he walks through how frontier LLMs are trained and served.
It's shocking how much you can deduce about what the labs are doing from a handful of equations, public API prices, and some chalk.
It’s a bit technical, but I encourage you to hang in there - it’s really worth it.
There are less than a handful of people who understand the full stack of AI, from chip design to model architecture, as well as Reiner. It was a real delight to learn from him.
Recommend watching this one on YouTube so you can see the chalkboard.
0:00:00 – How batch size affects token cost and speed
0:31:59 – How MoE models are laid out across GPU racks
0:47:02 – How pipeline parallelism spreads model layers across racks
1:03:27 – Why Ilya said, “As we now know, pipelining is not wise.”
1:18:49 – Because of RL, models may be 100x over-trained beyond Chinchilla-optimal
1:32:52 – Deducing long context memory costs from API pricing
2:03:52 – Convergent evolution between neural nets and cryptography
IIT Madras celebrated ShreeRam Navami organised by student’s club
along with cultural events, musical performances, and traditional gatherings.
If we have JNU
We also have IIT Madras 👇🏽
Behind every great conference is a team of dedicated reviewers. Congratulations to this year’s #CVPR2025 Outstanding Reviewers!

"Please learn from our mistakes. Don't do exactly the same things that we did, or you'll end up in ten years with having nothing to show for it." — Nicholas Carlini urging AI researchers to avoid the pitfalls of past adversarial ML research at the Vienna Alignment Workshop 2024.
