I'm a Program Chair for ICML 2027. We'd love any creative suggestions for a great conference! How to manage the explosion of AI slop and insane submission growth? How to manage reviewing? How to incentivize high quality creative work? How to reduce bureaucracy and overhead?
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

@Andrea__Protani Our training data generated using the Cognitive synergy framework, when used in distillation reshaped the latent transition probability forcing the models to generate genuinely distinct and funny Jokes from the same prompt rather than just reframing a generic joke.
@Andrea__Protani Yeah, that was the problem we set out to solve, given that style prompting only changes the surface vocab and from our experience crafting some genius prompt doesn't exactly stop the model from keeping the same predictable humor template...
Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.
Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.
New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.
Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.
