Mind2Dialogue: Training Human-Aware Language Models by Simulating User Mental States

Mind2Dialogue simulates users' mental states to generate privileged supervision, boosting personalization and preference-following in Qwen, Llama, and OLMo assistants.

The Mind2Dialogue framework uses a psychology-guided simulator that preserves personal characteristics while updating user mental states through interaction, driving coherent conversations and an Oracle assistant's responses. Privileged distillation trains models on the Oracle's well-informed responses so they can assist users without direct access to mental states at deployment. Training on the full corpus improves every reported personalization metric over Qwen, Llama, and OLMo instruction-tuned baselines, including 26.6 to 40.9 percentage point gains in preference-following generation.

Open-Source AI & Open Models Reading List

Interconnects publishes a curated open-model reading list covering release strategy, US-China competition, adoption data, and a narrowed 4-6 month open-closed frontier gap.

The list, updated September 11, 2026, compiles essays on open-model strategy, licensing gradients, safety of open weights, adoption data, and Chinese open-source history. It notes leading open models have come from Chinese labs since roughly 2024, citing Kimi K3 and GLM-5.2/5.3, and that the open-closed gap has narrowed to roughly 4-6 months. It also documents Western adoption of Chinese models, including Perplexity's use of DeepSeek R1 and Thomson Reuters moving to Qwen, which has drawn lawmaker probes at DoorDash, Airbnb, Anysphere/Cursor, and Apple.
