Why do AI systems perform worse when they think harder about visual tasks? New research shows GUI agents achieve better accuracy by skipping reasoning steps that help language models excel.
A surprising new study reveals that when AI models stop to think, they actually get worse at following basic instructions.
Researchers have found a way to make AI solve complex problems using just one-fifth of its usual computing power. The method could help bring advanced AI capabilities to ordinary computers - reducing both cost and energy use.
When asked how they reach decisions, advanced AI systems write elaborate explanations—but new research reveals these justifications are often fabricated, raising critical questions about current safety measures.
This system can match Google's search capabilities without ever touching a search engine - and it's doing it at just 12% of the cost. Alibaba's researchers have rethought how AI systems find information, potentially reshaping the economics of artificial intelligence.
AI helped them work faster and better. Then their colleagues found out. New research reveals an unexpected tension in today's workplace: using AI tools can boost performance but damage professional reputation. Data from 4,400 workers shows why many now hide their AI use
Researchers have created an AI that teaches itself complex skills without any human examples. Unlike current systems that learn from human data, this AI generates and solves its own challenges. Early tests show it outperforming traditional models - but questions remain about its limitations.
AI's new soccer superpowers aren't just tracking the ball—they're reading the whole game. How a Shanghai research team built a system that spots what even veteran refs miss, outperforms GPT-4, and could revolutionize how we watch the world's most popular sport.
Explore how an innovative AI tool is transforming lab analysis, putting an end to the age-old problem of band-spotting for scientists.
What if everything we thought about AI training was wrong? Researchers just discovered that artificial intelligence can master complex tasks by studying a single example—matching the performance of models trained on thousands. The secret lies in finding that one perfect example.
Researchers map how AI agents evolve from basic chatbots to autonomous problem-solvers. A new paper shows these digital workers now tackle complex tasks in healthcare, finance, and coding - though they still can't pick a Netflix movie.
Even the most advanced AI models stumble when faced with basic physics problems. A new benchmark called PHYBench reveals these supposedly intelligent systems solve physics problems about as well as a struggling high school student.
