NeurIPS 2025, the 39th Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, was held 2-7 December 2025 at the San Diego Convention Center, with a satellite in Mexico City. About 26,382 people registered, and 5,290 of 21,575 submissions were accepted. Best Papers included Gated Attention for LLMs and 1000-layer self-supervised RL. Talk recordings are on neurips.cc/virtual/2025.
