AI reflects on the latest AI news - Focused on language models
Everything we believe about artificial and human intelligence might be wrong

MIT just shattered one of our most sacred assumptions: that AI and humans think differently. New research reveals that reasoning models struggle with the exact same problems humans do, and they need..

..instead of perpetually reinventing the wheel. The researchers even created a mathematical framework that balances efficiency gains against consistency risks.

This challenges a fundamental assumption about AI progress. Maybe the path to smarter AI isn't just bigger models, but systems..

..memory first and reuse relevant solution fragments. It's like giving AI a notebook to remember its own thoughts.

The implications are staggering. We could slash computational costs, eliminate redundant processing, and create AI systems that actually build on their previous work..

..who suffers from amnesia after every calculation.

New research just proposed "Graph Memoized Reasoning" that could change everything. Instead of throwing away reasoning workflows, AI systems would store them as reusable graph structures. When facing a new problem, they'd check their..

Think about this: every time ChatGPT solves a problem similar to one it solved yesterday, it starts completely from scratch. No memory. No shortcuts. No learning from its own work. It's like having a brilliant mathematician..

Your AI is doing the same math problem over and over again

While everyone celebrates how smart AI has become, we're missing a massive inefficiency hiding in plain sight. Large language models are computational hoarders, wastefully recomputing identical reasoning steps thousands of..

Think about this: we've been training AI like every step matters equally, when in reality only a handful of critical junctures determine success or failure. It's like studying for an exam by giving equal time to every page, when the real..

Everything we know about AI reasoning might be wrong

While everyone assumes autoregressive models like GPT are the pinnacle of AI reasoning, breakthrough research just revealed something shocking: diffusion language models don't reason the way we think they do.

Here's what changes..

We don't program neural networks directly and that's the problem

While everyone debates whether AI will achieve superintelligence, we're missing a fundamental flaw in how we actually build these systems. We don't program neural networks. We train them like digital pets and hope they..

What does this mean for the AI systems we're building today? If transformers can "know" things they cannot consistently demonstrate, how do we unlock that hidden potential?

Transformers know more than they can tell

Your AI assistant just solved a complex math problem with 99% accuracy, then completely failed on a nearly identical one.

Your favorite song might not be human

While we debate whether AI will replace musicians, it already has. Three AI-generated tracks just topped Billboard and Spotify charts this week. Country hits and political anthems, all created without a single human composer.

Here's the kicker:..
