I'm testing Gemini 3 Flash (thinking_level=low) on a reasoning task and occasionally the output is prepended with tens of thousands of tokens ΜΆoΜΆfΜΆ ΜΆcΜΆhΜΆaΜΆoΜΆtΜΆiΜΆcΜΆ ΜΆrΜΆaΜΆmΜΆbΜΆlΜΆiΜΆnΜΆgΜΆsΜΆ of what seems to be a cut off of its internal thinking process. What's up with that?

Alternatively you could use syncthing. Works great, once it's set up.

One week ago today, I was at #NAACL in Albuquerque, New Mexico presenting a poster on our work about creating LLMs for extremely low-resource Finno-Ugric languages. It was an experience for sure β€” and likely my last conference as a PhD student πŸ₯Ή #NAACL25

Anyway, I'll be presenting there my latest paper "How Well Do LLMs Know Finno-Ugric Languages? A Systematic Assessment." It was a fun paper to write (and allowed me to procrastinate on my thesis 😐).

I'm actually quite excited that the Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (@nodalida.bsky.social) is so close to home this year. I thought I'd miss traveling, but I can see the perks of it now 😁
