There’s a paradox at the heart of modern AI: The kinds of sophisticated models that companies are using to get real work done and reduce head count aren’t the ones getting all the attention. Ever-more ...

You don’t typically build a machine without understanding how it works. But for artificial intelligence researchers building large language models, understanding is about the one thing they haven’t ...

Language isn’t always necessary. While it certainly helps in getting across certain ideas, some neuroscientists have argued that many forms of human thought and reasoning don’t require the medium of ...

What the firm found challenges some basic assumptions about how this technology really works. The AI firm Anthropic has developed a way to peer inside a large language model and watch what it does as ...

Once a model is deployed, its internal structure is effectively frozen. Any real learning happens elsewhere: through retraining cycles, fine-tuning jobs or external memory systems layered on top. The ...

What if you could demystify one of the most fantastic technologies of our time—large language models (LLMs)—and build your own from scratch? It might sound like an impossible feat, reserved for elite ...

Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...

How large is a large language model? Think about it this way. In the center of San Francisco there’s a hill called Twin Peaks from which you can view nearly the entire city. Picture all of it—every ...
