1/ Excited to share that I’m taking on the role of leading Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) at Meta. Huge thanks to Joelle for everything. Look forward to working closely again with Yann & team.

@ylecun @ylecun @AravSrinivas recent Proto-RL (https://t.co/EQQk8j0RzA) that uses ideas from both CURL and DrQ gets us closer to the LeCake, as it's contrastively learned representations are **fully detached** from RL, besides they can be learned with just the MaxEnt objective.

Happy to share my new work -- Proto-RL, a task-agnostic pre-training scheme that reconciles exploration and representation learning in image-based RL!

Excited to share an update to our work on evolutionary-scale modeling (ESM)! Over the past year, we rewrote our paper with better pretraining and downstream models, leading to state-of-the-art results across multiple benchmarks. (1/8)
