AI can fix bugs—but can’t find them: OpenAI’s study highlights limits of LLMs in software engineering
February 19, 2025
Large language models (LLMs) may have changed software development, but enterprises will need to think twice about entirely replacing human software engineers with LLMs, despite OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s claim that models can replace “low-level” engineers. In a new paper, OpenAI researchers detail how they developed an LLMs benchmark called SWE-Lancer to test how much foundation models can…

Shadow AI: How unapproved AI apps are compromising security, and what you can do about it
February 18, 2025
Security leaders and CISOs are discovering that a growing swarm of shadow AI apps has been compromising their networks, in some cases for over a year.
They’re not the tradecraft of typical attackers. They are the work of otherwise trustworthy employees creating AI apps…
‘Personalized, unrestricted’ AI lab Nous Research launches first toggle-on reasoning model: DeepHermes-3
February 17, 2025
AI reasoning models — those that produce “chains-of-thought” (CoT) in text and reflect on their own analysis to try and catch errors midstream before outputting a response — are all the rage now thanks to the likes of DeepSeek and OpenAI’s “o” series. As posted…
LLMs Power AI: Exploring Transformer Architecture
February 17, 2025
Today, virtually every cutting-edge AI product and model uses a transformer architecture. Large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4o, LLaMA, Gemini and Claude are all transformer-based, and other AI applications such as text-to-speech, automatic speech recognition, image generation and text-to-video models have transformers as their underlying technology.
With the hype around AI not likely to…
