In a post on X, Zhengyang Geng announced an informal "Loop Meet" gathering at ICML 2026 for people interested in recurrent and loop-based methods, saying it grew out of conversations at Diffusion Circle earlier in the conference. A second X post from Geng framed the meetup as part of his broader "serious comeback" argument for recurrent methods. For now, the public evidence is mostly those posts and reposts, but the pitch is simple: meet Friday at 3:30 p.m. near the information desk and talk shop.
