Intel reveals first Lunar Lake laptop CPUs: everything you need to know (8 minute read)

Intel has unveiled its Core Ultra 200V lineup, previously known as Lunar Lake, boasting superior AI performance, fast CPUs, and competitive integrated GPUs for thin laptops. The processors feature eight CPU cores, integrated memory, and enhanced efficiency but are limited to 32GB RAM. Major manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, and HP will launch laptops with these new chips. Reviews are pending to confirm Intel's claims.
OpenAI, Still Haunted by Its Chaotic Past, Is Trying to Grow Up (8 minute read)

OpenAI is restructuring its management and organization to attract major investors like Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia while aiming for a $100 billion valuation. The company faces internal conflicts about its mission and safety practices, leading to significant staff turnover, including key researchers joining rivals like Anthropic. Despite growing revenues and user base, OpenAI grapples with balancing profit motives and ethical concerns in advancing AI technologies.
Canva says its AI features are worth the 300 percent price increase (3 minute read)

Canva is increasing prices for its Teams subscriptions by over 300% due to new generative AI features. Users report prices rising from $120 to $500 annually, though a discount brings it down to $300 for the first year. These changes reflect the value added by AI tools like Magic Media and Magic Expand.

DepthCrafter: Consistent long depth sequences for open world videos (23 minute read)

By using Stable Diffusion video as a prior model, researchers were able to generate extremely precise depth information without using any camera pose or optical flow information.
Modifying LLMs for directed chemical space exploration (31 minute read)

By using supervised fine-tuning and DPO style data on open source language models, LLMs can be prompted to generate molecules that have interesting properties for drug development.
Planning in Natural Language improves LLM search for code generation (18 minute read)

One of the challenges of code generation is getting diverse candidate solutions. Oftentimes, even repeated sampling fails to generate enough novelty to solve a problem. However, if you plan in natural language first and brainstorm candidate solution paths, then generation is significantly more diverse and varied leading to improved code generation solutions.

Will AI make us overconfident? (5 minute read)

Students are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT to solve challenging research problems, surprising educators with their rapid progress. AI-enhanced development tools, especially in coding, significantly boost ambition and productivity but come with risks of overconfidence and errors. Despite inaccuracies, AI provides valuable interactive entry points to complex tasks, potentially encouraging more proactive learning and cross-disciplinary exploration.
LLMs struggle to explain themselves (20 minute read)

An interactive demo was used to test LLMs' ability to recognize and explain number sequences generated by random programs. The results showed that while LLMs often identify the correct sequence, their explanations for the patterns were frequently incorrect. This highlights the current limitations in LLMs' reasoning abilities despite their performance on standardized tests.
