At technology conferences worldwide and on social media, generative AI applications demonstrate impressive capabilities: composing marketing emails, creating data visualizations, or writing functioning code. Yet behind these polished demonstrations lies a stark reality. What works in controlled environments often fails…
Recent advancements in multimodal AI have highlighted a persistent challenge: achieving strong specialized reasoning capabilities while preserving generalization across diverse tasks. “Slow-thinking” models such as OpenAI-o1 and Gemini-Thinking have made strides in deliberate analytical reasoning but often exhibit compromised performance…
Large language models (LLMs) have gained significant traction in reasoning tasks, including mathematics, logic, planning, and coding. However, a critical challenge emerges when applying these models to real-world scenarios. While current implementations typically operate under the assumption that all necessary…
Designing and evaluating web interfaces is one of the most critical tasks in today’s digital-first world. Every change in layout, element positioning, or navigation logic can influence how users interact with websites. This becomes even more crucial for platforms that…
Autoregressive (AR) models have made significant advances in language generation and are increasingly explored for image synthesis. However, scaling AR models to high-resolution images remains a persistent challenge. Unlike text, where relatively few tokens are required, high-resolution images necessitate thousands…
The ‘Fun Part is Over’ for Trump’s Second Term CNN Political Briefing Next week marks 100 days since President Trump was sworn in for his second term. CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins and Chief National Affairs Correspondent Jeff…
Every day, hundreds of chat messages flow between pilots, crew, and controllers of the Air Mobility Command’s 618th Air Operations Center (AOC). These controllers direct a thousand-wide fleet of aircraft, juggling variables to determine which routes to fly, how much…
A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to uncover ancient systems with potential to expand the genome editing toolbox. These systems, which the…
The following is a joint announcement from the MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories and GlobalFoundries. MIT and GlobalFoundries (GF), a leading manufacturer of essential semiconductors, have announced a new research agreement to jointly pursue advancements and innovations for enhancing the performance…
MIT Professor Markus J. Buehler has been named the recipient of the 2025 Washington Award, one of the nation’s oldest and most esteemed engineering honors. The Washington Award is conferred to “an engineer(s) whose professional attainments have preeminently advanced the welfare of…
