Recent generations of frontier language models have introduced Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) that generate detailed thinking processes before providing answers. While these models demonstrate improved performance on reasoning benchmarks, their fundamental capabilities, scaling properties, and limitations remain insufficiently understood.

The university said it has no confidence in a widely circulated paper by an economics graduate student.

More than 20 legal professionals have been busted in the past month alone.

Artificial intelligence chatbots driven by large language models (LLMs) have the potential to increase public science literacy and support scientific research, as they can quickly summarize complex scientific information in accessible terms. However, when summarizing scientific texts, LLMs may omit details that limit the scope of research conclusions, leading to generalizations of results broader than warranted by the original study.

Challenges in visual and spatial processing and a deficit in training data have revealed a surprising lack of timekeeping ability in AI systems

SPSP is excited to announce the release of a landmark publication that has served as the definitive reference in our field for decades!

Inuit languages really do have many words for snow, linguists found—and other languages have conceptual specialties, too, potentially revealing what a culture values
