Announcing NeurIPS 2025 E2LM Competition: Early Training Evaluation of Language Models

The NeurIPS 2025 E2LM Competition has been announced, focusing on the early training evaluation of language models. Participants will be tasked with developing methods to assess the performance of language models during their training phases, potentially utilizing metrics that correlate with final model performance. This competition aims to provide insights into the training dynamics of LLMs, which can help practitioners optimize training strategies and improve model efficiency.
