The dawn of agentic AI: Are we ready for autonomous technology?
The average person makes about 35,000 decisions every day. Those aren’t just simple choices. It’s a chain of decisions that branches in different directions along the way. But circumstances always change, so a person’s decision at a particular branch point might vary depending on any number of factors. You always walk to work, for instance,…

The Trump administration is coming for student protesters
The Trump administration is embarking on a massive university speech crackdown, starting with Columbia University, where itâs demanding external control of entire departments and punishment for student activists. Its first test case, Mahmoud Khalil, a graduate student with a green card, offers a hint of whatâs to come: a state of intentional chaos that undermines…

Allen Institute for AI (AI2) Releases OLMo 32B: A Fully Open Model to Beat GPT 3.5 and GPT-4o mini on a Suite of Multi-Skill Benchmarks
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era of large language models (LLMs) capable of understanding and generating human-like text. However, the proprietary nature of many of these models poses challenges for accessibility, collaboration, and transparency within the research community. Additionally, the substantial computational resources required to train such models…

The Electric State can’t hold a charge to save its life
It is hard to describe how utterly joyless and devoid of imaginative ideas The Electric State is. Netflixâs latest feature codirected by Joe and Anthony Russo takes many visual cues from Simon StÃ¥lenhagâs much-lauded 2018 illustrated novel, but the filmâs leaden performances and meandering story make it feel like a project borne out by a…

This AI Paper Introduces BD3-LMs: A Hybrid Approach Combining Autoregressive and Diffusion Models for Scalable and Efficient Text Generation
Traditional language models rely on autoregressive approaches, which generate text sequentially, ensuring high-quality outputs at the expense of slow inference speeds. In contrast, diffusion models, initially developed for image and video generation, have gained attention in text generation due to their potential for parallelized generation and improved controllability. However, existing diffusion models struggle with fixed-length…
