When some commuter trains arrive at the end of the line, they must travel to a switching platform to be turned around so they can depart the station later, often from a different platform than the one at which they…
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash. Some methods…
When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction’s transition state — the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows chemists to try to produce the right conditions that…
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have enabled the development of AI-based coding agents that can generate, modify, and understand software code. However, the evaluation of these systems remains limited, often constrained to synthetic or narrowly scoped benchmarks, primarily…
Xata Agent is an open-source AI assistant built to serve as a site reliability engineer for PostgreSQL databases. It constantly monitors logs and performance metrics, capturing signals such as slow queries, CPU and memory spikes, and abnormal connection counts, to…
Challenges in Localized Captioning for Vision-Language Models Describing specific regions within images or videos remains a persistent challenge in vision-language modeling. While general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs) perform well at generating global captions, they often fall short in producing detailed, region-specific…
