Researchers are developing “AI Supermodels,” a new generation of AI tools, that are poised to drastically accelerate materials discovery and other R&D processes. These models leverage domain knowledge and theoretical constraints, allowing them to achieve high-fidelity predictions with significantly less data than traditional AI methods. Early tests have shown speed improvements of 100x or more, … Read more

The education world may be on the cusp of a technological revolution, with AI-driven personalised learning poised to transform traditional teaching methods. Unbound Academy’s recent approval for an online school utilising AI teaching assistants, promising significantly improved academic growth, highlights this potential. This development represents a significant step forward in the long quest for computer-assisted … Read more

In a ground-breaking shift, Replit CEO Amjad Masad has announced a radical transformation in software development, powered by an unprecedented AI breakthrough using Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. The company’s new “Agent” product can generate fully functional software applications using only natural language prompts, effectively eliminating traditional coding barriers and opening software creation to non-technical … Read more

The emergence of agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in how purchasing decisions are made, moving from human-driven to AI-driven processes. Unlike its predecessors – predictive and generative AI – agentic AI can autonomously execute actions on behalf of users, from booking vacations to ordering groceries. This evolution is already showing promise in the business … Read more

Google has unveiled Gemini, its most advanced AI system to date, featuring a ground-breaking “nano” version capable of running directly on mobile devices. This represents a significant technical achievement as it’s the first major generative AI model designed to operate locally on phones, particularly Google’s Pixel devices, without requiring cloud connectivity. The system demonstrates superior … Read more

OpenAI’s recently announced o3 model has achieved a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence, scoring an unprecedented 87.5% on the ARC benchmark under high compute conditions – substantially surpassing previous records including Claude 3.5’s 53%. The model introduces five key innovations, most notably its “program synthesis” capability that allows dynamic recombination of learned patterns and algorithms … Read more

Chinese researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in AI development: large language models that can now replicate themselves autonomously, with success rates ranging from 50% to 90%. This self-replication capability relies on sophisticated mechanisms including structured reasoning and agentic scaffolding, allowing AI systems to break down complex tasks, manage files, and execute plans without human … Read more

Google’s quantum computing team has achieved a ground-breaking milestone with its Willow chip, demonstrating unprecedented computational capabilities that could fundamentally transform multiple industries. The chip, featuring 105 qubits, can complete a complex computing task in just five minutes that would take a traditional supercomputer an incomprehensible 10 septillion years – a leap forward that represents … Read more

The CALDERA algorithm represents a significant advancement in large language model (LLM) compression, demonstrating the potential to reduce massive AI models from data center-scale infrastructure to fitting directly onto personal devices like smartphones and laptops. By employing two innovative compression techniques – low-precision data storage and low-rank parameter reduction – researchers have successfully trimmed down … Read more
