However, LLMs often fail to follow even simple and clear instructions. To improve instruction-following behavior and prevent undesirable outputs, a deeper understanding of how LLMs’ internal states relate to these outcomes is required. In this work, we…

Innovation is the driving force behind retail success – but too often, eCommerce and tech teams find themselves stuck in daily operations instead of focusing on growth and new customer experiences. While digital commerce is evolving at lightning speed, many are bogged down by inefficient workflows, outdated systems, and time-consuming processes that leave little room for innovation. Instead of carving out new revenue streams or optimizing customer experiences, eCommerce teams spend too much time managing fragmented systems, troubleshooting inefficiencies, and navigating approval roadblocks. As complexity grows, so do delays, making it harder to move quickly, adapt to market changes, and…

From forming muscle fibers to protecting us from disease, proteins play an essential role in almost all biological processes in humans and other life forms alike. There has been extraordinary progress in recent years toward better understanding protein structures using deep learning, enabling the accurate prediction of protein structures from their amino acid sequences. However, predicting a single protein structure from its amino acid sequence is like looking at a single frame of a movie—it offers only a snapshot of a highly flexible molecule. Biomolecular Emulator-1 (BioEmu-1) is a deep-learning model that provides scientists with a glimpse into the rich world of…

Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community.A research team from MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new software tool that makes it easier to design and make cable-driven 3D printed objects. The tool, called Xstrings, can be used to produce a variety of products with embedded actuation, from robotic hands with gripping capabilities to interactive sculptures with animal-like movement.Cable-driven mechanisms are frequently used by engineers to create components that can move fluidly like a human or animal. This movement is generated by pulling…

AI caught everyone’s attention in 2023 with Large Language Models (LLMs) that can be instructed to perform general tasks, such as translation or coding, just by prompting. This naturally led to an intense focus on models as the primary ingredient in AI application development, with everyone wondering what capabilities new LLMs will bring. As more developers begin to build using LLMs, however, we believe that this focus is rapidly changing: state-of-the-art AI results are increasingly obtained by compound systems with multiple components, not just monolithic models. For example, Google’s AlphaCode 2 set state-of-the-art results in programming through a carefully engineered…

A report by The Register has stated that it spoke to employees who were asked to train Indian employees on their job role after being told they would soon have to leave. According to the outlet, IBM has also listed 173 open positions since January this year with 2,946 openings available since November last year. Some of the employees who were laid off and asked for an internal transfer were…

NEW YORK — The New York Yankees’ bats were the story of the team’s franchise-record nine-home run day against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday. Then came the discussion about the actual bats used by some players in the 20-9 win.The uniquely shaped lumber is the result of two years of research and experimentation with a former Massachusetts Institute of Technology physicist-turned-coach at the helm.The question at its center?“Where are you trying to hit the ball?” Aaron Leanhardt said in a phone interview Sunday morning. “Where are you trying to make contact?”Leanhardt, 48, began his work when he was a member…

Shares in Couchbase Inc. rose in late trading today despite the database company reporting mixed results in its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and falling short on revenue outlook for the year ahead. For the quarter that ended on Jan. 31, Couchbase reported an adjusted net loss per share of 30 cents, down from a loss of 44 cents in the same quarter of the previous year, on revenue of $54.9 million, up 10% year-over-year. The earnings per share loss was significantly larger than the loss of eight cents per share expected by analysts, but Couchbase’s revenue was ahead of an…
