Been hearing a lot about the performance of OpenAI o1
on PhD-level science questions - which is based on the GPQA diamond set of "google-proof" questions (openai.com/index/learni...)
Learning to Reason with LLMs
We are introducing OpenAI o1, a new large language model trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. o1 thinks before it answers—it can produce a long internal chain of thought b...

Congrats to our fearless postdoc Mihai Popescu, and thanks to collaborators in the Miyake and Damrauer laboratories, we report a new method to break down #PFAS with visible light in @natureportfolio.bsky.social today:

‘Forever’ chemicals can be destroyed with clever chemistry — now test these techniques outside the lab
Chemistry that can break carbon–fluorine bonds in persistent molecules called PFAS could help to clean up the environment. Testing in real-world settings must come next.
