Automation & Efficiency

MIT researchers have developed a probabilistic framework that could fundamentally alter the economics of AI code generation, potentially challenging the assumption that bigger models automatically deliver better results. The innovation, leveraging sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) techniques, offers a path for smaller language models (LLMs) to outperform specialized commercial systems more than twice their size, as … Read more

The latest AI systems are now diagnosing medical conditions about as well as junior doctors, according to a sweeping new analysis that’s likely to raise eyebrows across healthcare. While seasoned specialists still outperform the machines, this milestone suggests we’re entering a new era where AI could meaningfully augment medical education and extend care in underserved … Read more

Artificial intelligence is now venturing into unexpected territory: evaluating the sensory qualities of chocolate brownies. A study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign reveals that large language models like ChatGPT could streamline food product development and potentially reduce costs for manufacturers navigating an increasingly competitive market. Food scientist Damir Torrico, an assistant professor in the … Read more
