Frontier LLMs don't debug, they regenerate. We built PDB to measure that gap, GPT-5.1-Codex pass unit tests >76% of the time, but touch only <45% of the right lines. Even Claude Code touches only ~50%. 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.17338 🌐 Project: precise-debugging-benchmark.github.io

Precise Debugging Benchmark: Is Your Model Debugging or Regenerating?

Unlike code completion, debugging requires localizing faults and applying targeted edits. We observe that frontier LLMs often regenerate correct but over-edited solutions during debugging. To evaluate...

Hubble is finally out! We used 200k GPU hours from NAIRR and NVIDIA to build a comprehensive resource for the scientific study of LLM memorization. Fully open-source models & data up to 8B params + 500B tokens with controlled data insertion to study memorization risks 🔭✨

Announcing 🔭Hubble, a suite of open-source LLMs to advance the study of memorization! Pretrained 1B/8B param models, with controlled insertion of texts designed to emulate key memorization risks: copyright (e.g., book passages), privacy (e.g., synthetic biographies), and test set contamination

I’ll be at ACL 2025 next week where my group has papers on evaluating evaluation metrics, watermarking training data, and mechanistic interpretability. I’ll also be co-organizing the first Workshop on LLM Memorization @l2m2workshop.bsky.social on Friday. Hope to see lots of folks there!

Check out @billzhu.bsky.social ‘s excellent work on combining LLMs with symbolic planners at NAACL on Thursday! I will also be at NAACL Friday-Sunday, looking forward to chatting about LLM memorization, interpretability, evaluation, and more

Wang Bill Zhu@billzhu.bsky.social · last yr.

At @naaclmeeting.bsky.social this week! I’ll be presenting our work on LLM domain induction with @thomason.bsky.social on Thu (5/1) at 4pm in Hall 3, Section I. Would love to connect and chat about LLM planning, reasoning, AI4Science, multimodal stuff, or anything else. Feel free to DM!

Our workshop on LLM Memorization is coming to ACL 2025! The call for papers is out, please submit both archival and non-archival (work in progress or already published) papers

The First Workshop on Large Language Model Memorization (L2M2)@l2m2workshop.bsky.social · 2y ago

📢 The First Workshop on Large Language Model Memorization (L2M2) will be co-located with @aclmeeting.bsky.social in Vienna 🎉 💡 L2M2 brings together researchers to explore memorization from multiple angles. Whether it's text-only LLMs or Vision-language models, we want to hear from you! 🌍
