Heading to #ICML next week? 🇰🇷

Would love to chat about streaming vision language models and proactive models!

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

@yedeponce @eccvconf @MWozniak1153 That was a typo. The deadline is 30th June AoE

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

@eccvconf The email from Meteor states two submission deadlines?

The deadline for the upload of the camera-ready manuscripts and source files is 30 June.

and then later on,

With this e-mail we invite you to Platform Domain ... submission due: June 27, 2026;

Please clarify!

@kamath_sutra Check out our ICLR 2026 benchmark on this very issue:

@SattlerTorsten @awsaf49 A lot of reviewers did not update the final score/recommendation. Kudos to the AC/PCs for dealing with that. But is there any consequence for not updating the final score?

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

@smolix @TrentTelenko Well half the population has below average IQ this is why such opinions are widespread here.

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

@CSProfKGD Oh this we don't have at home :(

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

@SattlerTorsten @gabriberton Can we even solve the full self driving problem without getting to AGI first? The current ML paradigm requires testing (and training) on an exponentially large set of long tailed scenarios. We need an AI that can get their driving license with 20 hours of practice.

@PINguAR @eccvconf Sure! We can bet GPU compute hours 😅

My family moved to the US when I was 8, but by the time I turned 20, my dad was still on an H1B (waiting to get processed for a green card).

Once I turned 21, I would age out as his dependent, despite the fact that I basically grew up in the US.

I thought I'd have to become a code monkey after college, and even that only if I was lucky enough to win the H1B lottery.

Otherwise, back to India.

I had become a huge fan of @paulg's essays in college. I was actually depressed that my desire to start a startup or do something entrepreneurial was basically hopeless.

Working on the promising podcast I was doing as a side project? A beyond impossible pipe dream.

Even after 9 years, my dad wasn't able to get a green card - and the lines were only getting longer over time. I figured I'd be an old man before I could quit some FANG job and build my own thing.

By some miracle, COVID travel restrictions cleared out the lines, and I got my green card literally months before I would have aged out.

If not for this unbelievable coincidence, I would not be hosting the podcast.

In the best case, I would be shifting pixels around in the 3rd sub-sub-menu of some big tech software.

I'm incredibly grateful I made it through.

But it's unconscionable that we put the kids of high skilled immigrants through all this anxiety, and in many cases make them repeat the nerve-racking indentured life trajectory that they had to watch their parents go through.

@CSProfKGD Mid week is the best time to announce decisions. Enough time until the weekend to recover from the disappointment 😅

[Apratim Bhattacharyya @apratimbh]

Can @AnthropicAI close this can of worms? Possibly. Either way, it is time for small models with big brains.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

@CSProfKGD As long as the decisions are not announced just in time to ruin the weekend 😅

👉This leads to a significant improvement in mistake intervention capabilities, especially for small models ideal for edge deployment.
