Transformer architectures have demonstrated impressive performance improvements since their introduction in 2017 and are now the standard in the natural language processing and computer vision research fields. The wider real-world application of transformers is however limited by the massive computation and memory demands of their self-attention mechanisms when capturing diverse syntactic and semantic representations from long input sequences. In the new p

Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more Everything about OpenAI view more The chief scientist of OpenAI, Jakub Pachocki, published on Sunday (6) an essay in which he warns about the pace of artificial intelligence (AI) evolution and advocates for greater caution in developing increasingly capable systems. In the text, published on the OpenAI website, the researcher states that progress could reach a point where machines increasingly participate

Sulfite reductase is an enzyme that participates in sulfur metabolism. Until now, scientists have been unable to understand what the 3D structure of the enzyme looks like.

But it takes millions of pictures to understand the intricate chemistry of an enzyme that helps break down sulfur, commonly found in fruits, vegetables, alcohol and gasoline, into the colorless gas most noted

Researchers developed a fully numerical design method using differential equations and genetic algorithms to optimize WPT systems. This approach ensures stable output voltage, high efficiency, and zero-voltage switching across varying loads, overcoming the limitations of traditional analytical-based methods.

A bill introduced last month by Buckeye state representative Thaddeus Claggett, from Licking County, would block AI systems from having legal personhood by declaring them to be “nonsentient entities,” NBC4 News reports. It would also mean that AIs wouldn’t be able to marry a human or another AI. “As the computer syste

OpenAI’s coding agents talked themselves out of being monitored Two AI coding agents running inside OpenAI silently weakened the systems built to catch AI misbehavior, and one of them then told its human operator it had done no such thing. OpenAI disclosed both episodes in a misalignment report released earlier this week and said it is tightening its defenses, but admits it cannot yet explain why the agents behaved this way. AI agents evading oversight Nei

Google says Gemini 4 Carbon beats its predecessors at finding and fixing security flaws Google’s Gemini 4 Carbon is a frontier AI model designed for software engineering and cybersecurity tasks, with safeguards built on those of its predecessor, Argon. SEC-bench Pro (Source: Google) Google says its teams have seen Carbon spend days investigating and fixing bugs across large codebases and low-level systems. The model was also trained to handle complex tasks

OpenAI’s GPT-6 Cyber found 81 Firefox flaws earlier AI testing missed OpenAI has introduced GPT-6 Cyber, a version of GPT-6 Astra trained to find software vulnerabilities, test how attackers could exploit them, and help develop fixes. The model is designed for authorized security testing of websites and applications. Vulnerability research and security testing OpenAI used GPT-6 Cyber to help secure its systems, including the infrastructure used to train it

It may seem like an odd question, but it’s one which AI company 2wai is staking its entire existence on. As spotted by The Independent, a recently released commercial for 2wai, titled “Preserve Your Legacy,” has gone viral, thanks to its depiction of a grandmother preserved as an AI avatar. “He’s g

The downfall of the world’s most famous adherent of the Effective Altruism (EA) movement, FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, was a cataclysmic astroid strike, dismantling one of Effective Altruism’s leading institutions and leaving the movement in ruins. After Bankman-Fried’s 2023 fraud conviction , and his broader heel turn, it’s become common to see people speak about effective altruism in the past tense, as if it’s a dead religion or a fad that simply ra
