Basketball has March Madness. Tech has the Consumer Electronics Show. AI has been waiting for its big moment—and this week may finally be it. With Microsoft’s Build and Google’s I/O developer conferences happening back-to-back, it was already primed to be a big week. Microsoft announced 50 new AI tools alone, and Google followed up with its own slate just a day later. Then, out of the blue…
Question: What product should use machine learning (ML)?
Project manager answer: Yes.
Jokes aside, the advent of generative AI has upended our understanding of what use cases lend themselves best to ML. Historically, we have always leveraged ML for repeatable, predictive…
Researchers from UCLA and Meta AI have introduced d1, a novel framework using reinforcement learning (RL) to significantly enhance the reasoning capabilities of diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs). While most attention has focused on autoregressive models like GPT…
Researchers from Stanford University and Google DeepMind have unveiled Step-Wise Reinforcement Learning (SWiRL), a technique designed to enhance the ability of large language models (LLMs) to tackle complex tasks requiring multi-step reasoning and tool use.
As the interest in AI agents and LLM tool use continues to increase, this technique could offer substantial benefits for enterprises looking…
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…
New open source AI company Deep Cogito releases first models and they’re already topping the charts
April 9, 2025
Deep Cogito, a new AI research startup based in San Francisco, officially emerged from stealth today with Cogito v1, a new line of open source large language models (LLMs) fine-tuned from Meta’s Llama 3.2 and equipped with hybrid reasoning capabilities — the ability to…
AI lie detector: How HallOumi’s open-source approach to hallucination could unlock enterprise AI adoption
April 4, 2025
In the race to deploy enterprise AI, one obstacle consistently blocks the path: hallucinations. These fabricated responses from AI systems have caused everything from legal sanctions for attorneys to companies being forced to honor fictitious policies.
Organizations have tried different approaches to solving the hallucination challenge, including fine-tuning with better data, retrieval augmented…
At the DataGrail Summit 2024 this week, industry leaders delivered a stark warning about the rapidly advancing risks associated with AI.
Dave Zhou, CISO of Instacart, and Jason Clinton, CISO of Anthropic, highlighted the urgent need for robust security measures to keep pace…
