ICLR's LLM review tool runs on Gemini — and apparently just the Flash version
keviv9 · x · 2026-09-22
Developer @XYHan revealed that ICLR's Paper Assistant Tool (PAT), which auto-generates LLM-written reviews of submissions, is powered by Gemini 2.5 Deep Think — prompting sarcasm about an LLM judging his paper. A follow-up correction claims ICLR actually didn't use the Pro version at all, just Flash. The thread fuels ongoing debate over which model tier top conferences use for AI-assisted peer review and what that implies about review quality and cost.
