Proud to be part of such a great effort + work with such amazing people!

🚀We launch Evaluation Cards (beta): a centralized public record of AI evaluation results 🚀

Not another leaderboard. Every score comes with who ran it, the settings they used, what the benchmark tests and the other results reported for the same model, side by side. 🧵👇

It’s official: the first large-scale inherently interpretable language model is here.

Steerling-8B from @guidelabsai is the first and largest model that can trace every token it generates back to:
→  Input Context
→ Training data
→ Human-understandable concepts

In other words, we've successfully trained Steerling-8B to trace its outputs and explain what has impacted that decision for more reliable manipulation. This isn’t post-hoc explainability. Interpretability is built directly into the model.

🔓Steerling-8B can self-monitor for memorized content and suppress it at inference time without retraining. That makes interpretability a first-class design principle, not an afterthought.

This is a major step toward models we can actually understand, debug, and trust.

Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing investigations into what Steerling-8B’s interpretability enables in practice. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into our research & how we are building LLMs we can trust.

🚨 Try it LIVE and help improve it:

[Avijit Ghosh @evijit]

With less than a week to go for NeurIPS 2024, I wanted to make a small thread to celebrate our little workshop, EvalEval, and the incredible amount of interest and love we have received in our first time organizing it.

But first, What does Evaluate Evaluations mean?

Announcing NeurIPS Workshop: EvalEval 2024!

🚀 As generative AI rapidly transforms our world, a critical question looms: How do we measure and evaluate its broader societal impacts?

📄 Our recent collaborative paper (https://t.co/nwtU687g1Q) reveals a lack of standardized methods to assess the full range of effects of generative AI on society, culture, and individual lives.

🔍 To bridge this gap, we're excited to announce our NeurIPS 2024 workshop: "Evaluating Evaluations: Examining Best Practices for Measuring Broader Impacts of Generative AI" aka EvalEval 2024!

🌐 Our workshop website is live! Visit https://t.co/jbYSgHyENk to learn more and check out the call for tiny papers!

Key focus areas include:

• Conceptualization and operationalization of AI impact evaluations
• Ethical considerations in assessment methodologies
• Novel approaches for measuring social impact across different AI modalities

🌟 We're thrilled to have secured commitments from several stellar speakers in the field. Stay tuned for the full speaker list announcement coming soon!

This workshop aims to unite experts in evaluation science, AI practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders. By fostering collaboration, we hope to develop comprehensive evaluation frameworks and policy recommendations for responsible AI development.

Are you passionate about ensuring AI benefits society? Join us in shaping the future of AI evaluation! Follow our page for updates and reach out with any questions or ideas.

See you at NeurIPS!
