COLM 2026

COLM 2026 is the Conference on Language Modeling, a research venue created specifically for work on language models rather than treating them as one topic inside a broader machine learning conference.

It runs 6 to 9 October 2026 at the Hilton Union Square in San Francisco.

The programme covers pretraining and post training methods, evaluation and benchmarks, interpretability, efficiency, safety, multilinguality and the societal effects of deployed models.

It has established itself quickly as a primary venue for language model researchers.
