A small team of AI researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, Harvard University and Princeton University, all in the U.S., has found that if large language models are over-trained, it might make them harder to fine-tune. In their paper posted on the arXiv preprint server, the group compared the impact of different amounts of …

GUEST: Intelligence is pervasive, yet its measurement seems subjective. At best, we approximate its measure through tests and benchmarks. Think of college entrance exams: Every year, countless students sign up, memorize test-prep tricks and sometimes walk away with perfect scores. Does a single number, say a 100%, mean those who got it share the sa…Read …

The blockbuster antitrust case begins Monday. Its outcome could impact how Big Tech companies grow—but the government has a long way to go to prove its case.

When exploring their surroundings, communicating with others and expressing themselves, humans can perform a wide range of body motions. The ability to realistically replicate these motions, applying them to human and humanoid characters, could be highly valuable for the development of video games and the creation of animations, content that can be viewed using virtual …

Are we unlocking new frontiers in AI reasoning, or simply stretching the limits of token memory without meaningful improvements?Read More

An email sent by the Department of Homeland Security instructs people in the US on a temporary legal status to leave the country. But who the email actually applies to—and who actually received it—is far from clear.

It achieved an 8.0% higher win rate over DeepSeek R1, suggesting that its strengths generalize beyond just logic or math-heavy challenges.Read More

For the past three days, DOGE and a handful of Palantir representatives, along with dozens of career IRS engineers, have been collaborating to build a “mega API,” WIRED has learned.

It’s a game a lot of us played as children — and maybe even later in life: unspooling measuring tape to see how far it would extend before bending. But to engineer, this game was an inspiration, suggesting that measuring tape could become a great material for a robotic gripper. The grippers would be a …
