What do users want from AI? The answer depends on when and how they use it, a new study shows.
Machine Learning Research
An open protocol aims to enable AI agents to conduct scientific research autonomously across disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
Machine Learning Research
AI research in 2026 should confront a simple but transformative realization: Models that predict are not the same as systems that act. The latter is what we actually need.
Machine Learning Research
Coding apps moved beyond autofill-style code completion to agentic systems that manage a wide range of software development tasks.
Machine Learning Research
Think step by step. Explain your reasoning. Work backwards from the answer. As 2025 began, models executed these reasoning strategies only when prompted. Now most new large language models do it as a matter of course, improving performance across a wide range of tasks.
