What’s happening at #COLM2026? 👀🎤

Ai2 Comms Lead @kylelwiggers.bsky.social catches up with Senior Director of NLP @nlpnoah.bsky.social to talk agentic models, the next iteration of Olmo, & more!

At COLM? Come say hi at booth 302! 👋

"sure, everyone has a Jev" #colm2026

Amazon Scholar and UT Austin professor @mattlease.bsky.social explores how to harness AI for scientific discovery while assessing potential risks.

Catch his Expo Talk at @colmweb.org Thursday at 1pm PT. #COLM2026

Existing official review system certifies AI research rather than directs its progress. John Langford suggests an alternative in his #COLM2026 keynote

Day 2 at @colmweb.org. Stop by the Amazon booth for talks on multi-agent orchestration, visual reasoning, and LLM agent evaluation: https://amzn.to/4jsMYKM #COLM2026

Big agent #COLM2026

Can LLM agents tell us something real about how societies behave, or do they just echo our prompts back? 🤔

That's the focus of Social Simulation with LLMs: Fidelity in Applications, our #COLM2026 workshop, now in its 2nd year.

📍 Hilton Union Square, SF
📅 Fri Oct 9
🧵👇

Presenting our paper, "Defragmenting Language Models: An Interpretability-based Approach for Vocabulary Expansion," at #COLM2026 (Wednesday, Poster Session 11 AM) and TokShop (Friday, Poster Session 11:20 AM)!!

Happy to chat!

I'm at #COLM2026, with the paper "𝐌³: 𝐀 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐋𝐋𝐌 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐯 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬" to be presented at the AdvMLxCOTMA workshop.
I'm also covering #COLM through the @wiair.bsky.social - stay tuned on youtube and don't miss any updates 🎙️

#WiAIRpodcast

I'm at #COLM2026, which starts tomorrow. Come see our paper, "Faster Superword Tokenization," at the Grand Ballroom #139 from 4:30 to 6:30 on Tuesday, with Chris Tanner and Yuval Pinter.

TokShop should be fantastic on Friday. Two posters with collaborators: ConvexTok (ETH) and JOLT (NYU).

Do all language models learn things in the same order - even when they are trained on different data?
Emmy Liu gives the answer in the video. #WiAIR is covering COLM 2026 this week, with a new paper every day
