MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) Fellow Caitlin Morris is an architect, artist, researcher, and educator who has studied psychology and used online learning tools to teach herself coding and other skills. She’s a soft-spoken observer, with a keen interest in how…
During his first year at MIT in 2021, Matthew Caren ’25 received an intriguing email inviting students to apply to become members of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing’s (SCC) Undergraduate Advisory Group (UAG). He immediately shot off an application. Caren…
The Challenge of Updating LLM Knowledge LLMs have shown outstanding performance for various tasks through extensive pre-training on vast datasets. However, these models frequently generate outdated or inaccurate information and can reflect biases during deployment, so their knowledge needs to…
Python A2A is an implementation of Google’s Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, which enables AI agents to communicate with each other using a shared, standardized format—eliminating the need for custom integration between services. In this tutorial, we’ll use the decorator-based approach provided…
On May 6, MIT AgeLab’s Advanced Vehicle Technology (AVT) Consortium, part of the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, celebrated 10 years of its global academic-industry collaboration. AVT was founded with the aim of developing new data that contribute to…
The Need for Efficient On-Device Language Models Large language models have become integral to AI systems, enabling tasks like multilingual translation, virtual assistance, and automated reasoning through transformer-based architectures. While highly capable, these models are typically large, requiring powerful cloud…
Rethinking Audio-Based Human-Computer Interaction Machines that can respond to human speech with equally expressive and natural audio have become a major goal in intelligent interaction systems. Audio-language modeling extends this vision by combining speech recognition, natural language understanding, and audio…
Navigating the dense urban canyons of cities like San Francisco or New York can be a nightmare for GPS systems. The towering skyscrapers block and reflect satellite signals, leading to location errors of tens of meters. For you and me,…
A lone AI filmmaker, a cutting-edge generative video model, and a national TV spot during one of the year’s biggest sporting events. This isn’t the plot of a sci-fi movie; it’s the new reality of advertising, and it was created…
The Inefficiency of Static Chain-of-Thought Reasoning in LRMs Recent LRMs achieve top performance by using detailed CoT reasoning to solve complex tasks. However, many simple tasks they handle could be solved by smaller models with fewer tokens, making such elaborate…
