A new way to increase the capabilities of large language models

Most languages use word position and sentence structure to extract meaning. For example, “The cat sat on the box,” is not the same as “The box was on the cat.” Over a long text, like a financial document or a novel, the syntax of these words likely evolves. Similarly, a person might be tracking variables in

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT image generator makes faking photos easy

For most of photography’s roughly 200-year history, altering a photo convincingly required either a darkroom, some Photoshop expertise, or, at minimum, a steady hand with scissors and glue. On Tuesday, OpenAI released a tool that reduces the process to typing a sentence. It’s not the first company to do so. While OpenAI had a conversational

The afterparty: Hyperparameter autotuning revisited

In my first article on hyperparameter autotuning, I used a cake analogy to show how to use hyperparameter autotuning with Optuna and the sasviya.ml package in Python to improve detecting Higgs bosons in a particle accelerator. SAS Viya Workbench now supports hyperparameter autotuning in SAS code with a variety of […] The post The afterparty:

A “scientific sandbox” lets researchers explore the evolution of vision systems

Why did humans evolve the eyes we have today?While scientists can’t go back in time to study the environmental pressures that shaped the evolution of the diverse vision systems that exist in nature, a new computational framework developed by MIT researchers allows them to explore this evolution in artificial intelligence agents.The framework they developed, in

Thinking Machines Lab Makes Tinker Generally Available: Adds Kimi K2 Thinking And Qwen3-VL Vision Input

Thinking Machines Lab has moved its Tinker training API into general availability and added 3 major capabilities, support for the Kimi K2 Thinking reasoning model, OpenAI compatible sampling, and image input through Qwen3-VL vision language models. For AI engineers, this turns Tinker into a practical way to fine tune frontier models without building distributed training

“Robot, make me a chair”

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools incorporate such a high level of detail they don’t lend themselves to brainstorming or rapid prototyping.In an effort to make design faster and more accessible

Merriam-Webster’s word of the year delivers a dismissive verdict on junk AI content

Like most tools, generative AI models can be misused. And when the misuse gets bad enough that a major dictionary notices, you know it has become a cultural phenomenon. On Sunday, Merriam-Webster announced that “slop” is its 2025 Word of the Year, reflecting how the term has become shorthand for the flood of low-quality AI-generated

3 Questions: Using computation to study the world’s best single-celled chemists

Today, out of an estimated 1 trillion species on Earth, 99.999 percent are considered microbial — bacteria, archaea, viruses, and single-celled eukaryotes. For much of our planet’s history, microbes ruled the Earth, able to live and thrive in the most extreme of environments. Researchers have only just begun in the last few decades to contend

Deep-learning model predicts how fruit flies form, cell by cell

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells.A team of MIT engineers has now developed a way to predict, minute by minute, how individual cells will fold, divide, and rearrange during a fruit fly’s earliest stage of growth. The new method may one

OpenAI has Released the ‘circuit-sparsity’: A Set of Open Tools for Connecting Weight Sparse Models and Dense Baselines through Activation Bridges

OpenAI team has released their openai/circuit-sparsity model on Hugging Face and the openai/circuit_sparsity toolkit on GitHub. The release packages the models and circuits from the paper ‘Weight-sparse transformers have interpretable circuits‘. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.13653 What is a weight sparse transformer? The models are GPT-2 style decoder only transformers trained on Python code. Sparsity is not added after
