Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning with Lean Language Models

Great paper showing how to fuse RAG and reasoning into a single small-footprint language model.

Distillation works if done correctly.

Very exciting results!

Here are my notes:

[The Alan Turing Institute @turinginst]

💻 Frontier performance on local compute

Our Project t0 team has shown that small, open-weight language models can deliver near-frontier reasoning performance when applied to focused, domain-specific tasks.

🚀 Want to query LLMs at scale?

🤔 Wish there was a package that could optimise rate/token limits for popular API providers? And could even hook into self-hosted open source models?

We’re releasing prompto: a library designed to support reproducible LLM eval experiments.🧪

New paper out! Very excited that we’re able to share STAR: SocioTechnical Approach to Red Teaming Language Models. We've made some methodological advancements focusing on human red teaming for ethical and social harms. 🧵Check out https://t.co/TOTqh6HDPH
