Haize Labs x AI Circle AI Research Series
The frontier of AI is moving fast, but the most important ideas rarely surface on your LinkedIn / X feed or conference talks. This monthly research series is designed to change that.
Join Haize Labs and AI Circle for an intimate evening dedicated to deep technical discussion, emerging research, and candid exchange among people actively shaping the frontier. Each session convenes a curated group of researchers, engineers, and technical leaders to unpack new papers, experimental findings, and unresolved questions in modern AI systems: from training and evaluation to infrastructure, agents, and post-training methods.
This week, we will be reading Self-Distillation Enables Continual Learning, a.k.a. the Self-Distillation Fine-Tuning (SDFT) paper.
