As frontier models advance, the gulf between what they do and what they say they do is growing.

Caltech researchers have quantified the speed of human thought: a rate of 10 bits per second. However, our bodies' sensory systems gather data about our environments at a rate of a trillion bits per ...

Our era is defined by a constant flow of information. Data from smartphones, wearables and environmental sensors, connected to sharing and analysis platforms, accompany us daily, creating a digital ...

Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is an increasingly popular approach to artificial intelligence (AI) training that boosts models’ reasoning capabilities. The technique prompts large-language models, ...

Researchers calculated that the human brain processes thought at a speed of ten bits per second. Andriy Onufriyenko via Getty Images The human brain is a biological marvel, stuffed with some 86 ...

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have uncovered a surprising truth about the speed of human thought: our brains process ideas at a rate of just 10 bits per second. Compared to the ...

What just happened? Scientists have discovered that our brains process thoughts much more slowly than previously believed. This surprising finding has its roots in our evolutionary history and sheds ...

The latest generation of artificial intelligence models is sharper and smoother, producing polished text with fewer errors and hallucinations. As a philosophy professor, I have a growing fear: When a ...

AI can hand us the answer, but it can't hand us the thinking that produced it. Struggling with an idea changes you while a generated paragraph does not. When everyone can fake the artifact, real ...
