‘Vibe coding’ is a term of the moment, as it refers to a more accepted use of AI and natural language prompts for basic code completion.
OpenAI is reportedly looking to get in on the movement — and own more of the full-stack coding experience — as it eyes a $3 billion acquisition of Windsurf (formerly Codeium). If the deal materializes, it would be OpenAI’s most expensive acquisition to…

When AI reasoning goes wrong: Microsoft Research shows more tokens can mean more problems
April 16, 2025
In a Nutshell
Microsoft Research finds that inference-time scaling methods for large language models don’t universally improve performance. Varying benefits, token inefficiency, and cost unpredictability challenge assumptions. Verification mechanisms enhance model accuracy. Brute-force scaling has limits; conventional models can match reasoning models on simpler tasks but struggle with…
