The collaboration will help OpenAI’s models deliver faster response times for more difficult or time-consuming tasks, the companies said.
The California attorney general has opened a formal investigation into Elon Musk’s xAI after its chatbot Grok began generating nonconsensual sexual images of real women and even children.
A tiny quantum machine can release light that is not simply wasted heat; some of that energy may still be useful for doing work. University of Basel physicists found that separating orderly, coherent light from noisy fluctuations allows quantum thermodynamics to match its simpler semiclassical limit. The distinction could help...
Hydrogen-terminated diamond-like carbon becomes more electrically responsive near its surface, unlike silicon, which weakens at the edge. The unusual boost appears to come from nearly free electrons that extend beyond the carbon surface and shift easily in an electric field. Atomic-scale maps could help researchers design thinner electronic materials, although...
Hundreds of microscopic particles suspended in liquid can work together as a computer, using their collective motion to process information. Fluid currents connect the particles, allowing their natural interactions to transform incoming data without controlling every computational step. The experimental system can predict chaotic signals and detect subtle anomalies, but...
