Chemical reasoning involves intricate, multi-step processes requiring precise calculations, where small errors can lead to significant issues. LLMs often struggle with domain-specific challenges, such as accurately handling chemical formulas, reasoning through complex steps, and integrating code effectively. Despite advancements in scientific reasoning, benchmarks like SciBench reveal LLMs’ limitations in solving chemical problems, highlighting the need… Read more

As the US faces “the worst telecommunications hack in our nation’s history,” by China’s Salt Typhoon hackers, the outgoing FCC chair is determined to bolster network security if it’s the last thing she does. Read more

In the early 1990s, Toyota saw that environmental awareness and tighter emissions regulations would shape the future of the automotive industry. The company aimed to create an eco-friendly, efficient vehicle that would meet future standards. In 1997 Toyota introduced the Prius to the Japanese market. The car was the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle that… Read more

Enabling artificial intelligence to navigate and retrieve contextually rich, multi-faceted information from the internet is important in enhancing AI functionalities. Traditional search engines are limited to superficial results, failing to capture the nuances required to investigate profoundly integrated content across a network of related web pages. This constraint limits LLMs in performing tasks that require… Read more

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) bridge vision and language, enabling effective interpretation of visual content. However, achieving precise and scalable region-level comprehension for static images and dynamic videos remains challenging. Temporal inconsistencies, scaling inefficiencies, and limited video comprehension hinder progress, particularly in maintaining consistent object and region representations across video frames. Temporal drift, caused by… Read more

“Without doubt, the remedy Congress and the President chose here is dramatic,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a concurring opinion. “Whether this law will succeed in achieving its ends, I do not know.” Read more

When you think of AI’s contributions to science, you probably think of AlphaFold, the Google DeepMind protein-folding program that earned its creator a Nobel Prize last year. Now OpenAI says it’s getting into the science game too—with a model for engineering proteins. The company says it has developed a language model that dreams up proteins… Read more
