xLSTM Distillation: arxiv.org/abs/2603.15590 Near-lossless distillation of quadratic Transformer LLMs into linear-time xLSTM architectures enables cost- and energy-efficient alternatives without sacrificing performance. Efficient xLSTM variants of instruction-tuned Llama, Qwen, and Olmo models.

Seems like a pretty good fit actually.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

People definitely prefer my dataset publication posts over anything else I post on this homepage^^

Excited to announce Groundsource - an open-source dataset of historic flood events! This has easily been one of the coolest projects I've worked on recently! Thread 🧵 for details and all relevant links. 1/n

Interesting read and something I have been thinking about recently. How fit is our education system for the new era and what does this mean for _learning_ (especially learning to learn), if students/pupils over rely on LLMs. What does this mean for my kids (2nd grade and kindergarten)...?

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

Some updates on NeuralHydrology and I'll also use this opportunity to give a shout-out to @gauchm.bsky.social for his continuous support and maintenance of NH

Martin Gauch@gauchm.bsky.social · 7mo ago

New #NeuralHydrology release 🎉 Some news from v1.13.0: * CAMELS-IND & CAMELS-DE support * AORC hourly forcing support * xLSTM supportSupport for embedding layers in MTS-LSTMs ...and various other improvements and fixes. The full release notes: github.com/neuralhydrol... Thanks to all contributors!

Are you working in large-sample hydrology? If so, we invite you to submit an abstract to our session for EGU 2026: HS2.4.2 "Large-Sample Hydrology: Advancing dataset developments, enhancing process understanding, and unifying insights through catchment modeling"

For those of you who are still undecided.

Back by popular demand: At #EGU26 we'll organize another BUGS session: Blunders, Unexpected Glitches, and Surprises! Submit abstracts on ideas that seemed great but didn't work, errors and bugs that led to new insights (or funny stories), or any other unexpected results. www.egu26.eu/session/56997

We (wife, 7 y/o, myself) spent New Years Eve playing "Stuffed Fables" boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/23... My wife's first roleplay game and also the most complex game we played so far with our oldest. Time was flying and we only made it to the start of the second chapter 😅

Hydrology Paper of the Day @kratzert.bsky.social on integrating water quality observations into the Caravan dataset: the need for proper metadata and processing of observations; a new river network with water quality stations; catchment delineation; and validation and flagging of suspect data.

Interesting point. I've been thinking about this as well in the past and I think, especially with ML, we have the opportunity to optimize for what we really want to know from the model, instead of training it on some proxy task

the success of the user-created For You feed while the official Discover feed flops is actually a pretty major win for Bluesky — it literally is the embodiment of their goal to decentralize feed generation and give users more control/autonomy

Kid #2 got sick in time for Christmas and it seems I caught whatever he has, too. For the last three years we had at least one kid sick at Christmas. Happy Holidays 🎄

Excited to unveil Caravan-Qual! 🌊 We've expanded the Caravan framework to bridge the gap between water quantity and quality. This new open dataset features: 🔹 ~70M observations 🔹137k stations 🔹 100 constituents 🔹 Linked streamflow, forcing & attributes Links in 🧵

@rarakihydro.bsky.social leads an exiting new preprint that maps dominant hydrologic processes across >14k US watersheds using streamflow signatures + ML. It’s been such fun following Ryoko and Hilary’s leadership alongside Admin, Anne and Gemma. egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

It is so wild how all academics seem to have decided that LinkedIn is the new platform. Essentially the same announcement receives 100x the engagement.. On a job market platform. In the good old days of Twitter, this was different and it's kinda sad that not more researchers decided to join BlueSky

Guess the "joke" we were trying to make here was not as obvious than we thought.

jax.config.update("jax_debug_nans", True) saved my day.
