So excited and honored to be selected as a Siebel Scholar, Class of 2027! I’m incredibly grateful to my advisor Jiaxuan You and to all my mentors and collaborators for their support and encouragement along the way! www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Like the human brain, LLMs use separate sets of units for language, formal reasoning, social reasoning, and intuitive physical reasoning. A modular organization of cognition may be a fundamental principle of intelligence!

The human brain is strikingly modular: distinct networks for language, formal reasoning, social reasoning, physical reasoning. Is this fundamental to intelligent systems, or an accident of evolution? In our new preprint, we find the same modular organization emerges in LLMs.

I am so excited about this finding from @pengrui-han.bsky.social and @andreadevarda.bsky.social, also with Jacob Andreas! Perhaps modularity is inevitable in intelligent systems, biological or in silico. :)
