I’m at #NeurIPS2025 in San Diego this week. Would love to see old friends and meet new ones. Also happy to chat about optimization for modern DL applications, multi-agent RL, games, and LLM inference optimization.

🌟 Just wrapped up the RiP-SILO workshop! Huge thanks to all the speakers for their insightful talks in such an academically-friendly environment.

The event was refreshing, with friendly vibes and ample time for dialogue. We embraced diverse perspectives—from graph theory to AI systems—without inflating results.

Stay tuned for a new version in collaboration with local Paris institutes!

Unlike larger events like NeurIPS and ICML, we fostered intimacy and engagement through:

1. Smaller cohorts for deeper connections
2. Interactive formats like workshops
3. Networking breaks for idea-sharing
4. Social activities to strengthen bonds

Here’s to future collaboration and innovation! 🚀
