Mar 19, 2026	I have successfully defended my PhD thesis with title xLSTM: Recurrent Neural Network Architectures for Scalable and Efficient Large Language Models Special thanks to Sepp Hochreiter for his excellent guidance throughout my PhD. (Pre-Recording) (Slides) (PhD-Thesis)
Mar 10, 2026	We have published our paper Towards a Neural Debugger for Python on arxiv. I had a lot of fun building this during my internship at Meta FAIR Paris last summer. Huge thanks to mentors and collaborators Jonas Gehring, Jannik Kossen and Gabriel Synnaeve! 🧠🪲We introduce Neural Debuggers: 🧑‍🏭 LLMs that emulate traditional debuggers by predicting forward code execution (future states & outputs) and inverse execution (inferring prior states or inputs) conditioned on debugger actions such as step over, step into, or breakpoints. pic.twitter.com/rucET8GFBA— Maximilian Beck (@maxmbeck) March 11, 2026</blockquote> </td> </tr>
Jan 22, 2026	Our two papers xLSTM Scaling Laws: Competitive Performance with Linear Time-Complexity and Short window attention enables long-term memorization are accepted at ICLR 2026 in Rio de Janeiro!
Oct 24, 2025	I have successfully finished my internship at Meta FAIR with Jonas Gehring. I am happy to have contributed and co-authored two papers, with one more in preparation - Stay tuned!
Oct 03, 2025	We published our paper xLSTM Scaling Laws: Competitive Performance with Linear Time-Complexity on arxiv. 🚀 Excited to share our new paper on scaling laws for xLSTMs vs. Transformers. Key result: xLSTM models Pareto-dominate Transformers in cross-entropy loss. - At fixed FLOP budgets → xLSTMs perform better - At fixed validation loss → xLSTMs need fewer FLOPs 🧵 Details in thread pic.twitter.com/Rd3s08BtQY— Maximilian Beck (@maxmbeck) October 3, 2025</blockquote> </td> </tr>
