1/7: 🚨 AI agents are predisposed to collude. 🤖📉
Our #ICML2026 paper shows that reasoning models (like DeepSeek-R1) tacitly collude on prices with competing firms, even when explicitly told NOT to.
And their chain-of-thought reveals nothing. 🧵
#Reinforcementlearning and regret minimization are not designed for the real world, where it takes time to compute an action. In this work, we prove bounds on real-time regret and show how algorithms based on these principles reduce wall-clock regret. #regretinTIMEnotactions
Here is the link to our poster session: https://t.co/ysEu0DGKiS.
Also, find @gopeshh1 presenting a orthogonal but closely related work on real-time RL. Both works complement each other and we will soon release a comprehensive blog talking about it!

Most RL methods assumes a turn-based setup-- agent acts, environment responds. But in the real world, the environment doesn’t wait.
In real-time RL, slow inference means missed actions or delayed ones. This leads to two key challenges:
• Inaction Regret
• Delay Regret
Find our work @iclr_conf, presented by @plaisir_avec (Hall 3, Poster #428) and done @Mila_Quebec! We introduce pipelining + temporal skip connections to tackle delay in real-time RL-speeding up inference, reducing depth-wise delay, and restoring stability in large models.
Thrilled to announce our paper on integrating domain knowledge into machine learning models & encoding whole-brain dynamics into low-dimensional dynamical systems is now published at @TmlrOrg! 🎉

The RL track for our CVPR Continual Learning challenge is out 😱 Submissions are opened till May 23rd. And don't forget, the biggest prize is given to the team that performs the best in both the SL and RL track 🤑
Our CVPR Continual Learning challenge is out 🚀
You can try the supervised learning track right now and the RL one should come anytime soon!
There's a lot of reason why you should try it out... 🧵time 👇
