Large language models (LLMs) have reshaped AI reasoning, with parallel thinking and self-consistency methods often cited as pivotal advances. However, these techniques face a fundamental trade-off: sampling multiple reasoning paths boosts accuracy but at a steep computational cost. A team of researchers from Meta AI and UCSD introduce Deep Think with Confidence (DeepConf), a new … Read more

The U.S. Commerce Department says it will not abide by an agreement to fund the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act’s R&D through the nonprofit set up to administer the program, called Natcast. Instead, it handed operational control to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Natcast was created in 2023 to oversee the National … Read more

Separating AI reality from hyped-up fiction isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created the AI Hype Index—a simple, at-a-glance summary of everything you need to know about the state of the industry. Using AI to improve our health and well-being is one of the areas scientists and researchers are most excited about. The last month … Read more

Key Points No flagship, globally competitive, locally developed LLM (such as GPT-4, Claude 3.5, LLaMA 3.1) has yet emerged from Australia. Australian research and commerce currently rely primarily on international LLMs, which are frequently used but have measurable limitations on Australian English and cultural context. Kangaroo LLM is the only major open-source, locally developed LLM … Read more
