Merging multiple fine-tuned models is a less expensive alternative to hosting multiple specialized models. But, while model merging can deliver higher average performance across several tasks, it often results in lower performance on specific tasks. New work addresses this issue.

Harvard University amassed a huge new text corpus for training machine learning models.

Large language models have been shown to be capable of lying when users unintentionally give them an incentive to do so. Further research shows that LLMs with access to tools can be incentivized to use them in deceptive ways.

Anthropic analyzed 1 million anonymized conversations between users and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The study found that most people used the model for software development and also revealed malfunctions and jailbreaks.
