style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">With
the emergence of foundation models (FMs) and Large Language
Models (LLMs) that are trained on large amounts of data at
scale and adaptable to a wide range of downstream
applications, Artificial intelligence is experiencing a
paradigm revolution. BERT, T5, ChatGPT, GPT-4, Falcon 180B,
Codex, DALL-E, Whisper, and CLIP are now the foundation for
new applications ranging from computer vision to protein
sequence study and from speech recognition to coding.
Earlier models had a reputation of starting from scratch
with each new challenge. The capacity to experiment with,
examine, and comprehend the capabilities and potentials of
next-generation FMs is critical to undertaking this research
and guiding its path. Nevertheless, these models are
currently inaccessible as the resources required to train
these models are highly concentrated in industry, and even
the assets (data, code) required to replicate their training
are frequently not released due to their demand in the
real-time industry. At the moment, mostly large tech
companies such as OpenAI, Google, Facebook, and Baidu can
afford to construct FMs and LLMS. Despite the expected
widely publicized use of FMs and LLMS, we still lack a
comprehensive knowledge of how they operate, why they
underperform, and what they are even capable of because of
their emerging global qualities. To deal with these
problems, we believe that much critical research on FMs and
LLMS would necessitate extensive multidisciplinary
collaboration, given their essentially social and technical
structure.</span></p>

and submitted electronically at Paper Submission Link. A
full paper can be up to 8 pages (including all figures,
tables and references). Submitted papers must present
original unpublished research that is not currently under
review for any other conference or journal. Papers not
following these guidelines may be rejected without review.
Also submissions received after the due date, exceeding
length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not
be considered. Authors may contact the Program Chair for
further information or clarification. All submissions are
peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers
will appear in the FLLM Proceeding, and be published by the
IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and be
submitted to IEEE Xplore for inclusion. Submitted papers
must include original work, and must not be under
consideration for another conference or journal. Submission
of regular papers up to 8 pages and must follow the IEEE
paper format. Please include up to 7 keywords, complete
postal and email address, and fax and phone numbers of the
corresponding author. Authors of accepted papers are
expected to present their work at the conference. Submitted
papers that are deemed of good quality but that could not be
accepted as regular papers will be accepted as short papers.</span></p>
