Summary: New research reveals that small, shallow grooves in the human brain—called tertiary sulci—are closely tied to reasoning ability and brain connectivity in children and adolescents. These uniquely human folds appear to bring critical brain regions closer together, enhancing communication and cognitive function. In an fMRI study, deeper tertiary sulci in the lateral prefrontal and … Read more
A new company, Deep Cogito, has emerged from stealth with a family of openly available AI models that can be switched between “reasoning” and non-reasoning modes. Reasoning models like OpenAI’s o1 have shown great promise in domains like math and physics, thanks to their ability to effectively fact-check themselves by working through complex problems step … Read more
Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Reimagining AI with Advanced Reasoning and Coding Mastery In 2024, the artificial intelligence field witnessed a pivotal transformation with the introduction of Claude 3.7 Sonnet. This sophisticated model is accessible across various platforms, including all Claude plans—Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise—as well as Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. … Read more
Shortly after OpenAI released o1, its first “reasoning” AI model, people began noting a curious phenomenon. The model would sometimes begin “thinking” in Chinese, Persian, or some other language — even when asked a question in English. Given a problem to sort out — e.g. “How many R’s are in the word ‘strawberry?’” — o1 … Read more
So-called reasoning AI models are becoming easier — and cheaper — to develop. On Friday, NovaSky, a team of researchers based out of UC Berkeley’s Sky Computing Lab, released Sky-T1-32B-Preview, a reasoning model that’s competitive with an earlier version of OpenAI’s o1 on a number of key benchmarks. Sky-T1 appears to be the first truly … Read more
