NeurIPS 2025 Distillation

Nikolaos Vasiloglou

Last year I spent 200+ hours distilling NeurIPS 2024 into 11 topic presentations and 12 podcasts (watch here).

This year, we (coding assistants and I, that is) went significantly further: for NeurIPS 2025 I used Claude Code and OpenAI Codex to transcribe a large portion of the conference—tutorials, keynotes, workshops, competitions, and expos into 23 presentations.

21 topic deep-dives, a 90-min Master Presentation, a 30-min Executive Summary are now all available here: 📂 Google Drive
