#deeplearning #nlp #sampling Modern language models like T5 or GPT-3 achieve remarkably low perplexities on both training and validation data, yet when sampling from their output distributions, the generated text often seems dull and uninteresting. Various workarounds have been proposed, such as top-k sampling and nucleus sampling, but while these manage to somewhat improve the generated samples, they are hacky and unfounded. This paper introduces typical sampling, a new decoding method that is principled, effective, and can be implemented efficiently. Typical sampling turns away from sampling purely based on likelihood and explicitly finds a trade-off between generating high-probability samples and…

Owing to the aspirational state of things, OpenAI writes, “Our production models do not yet fully reflect the Model Spec, but we are continually refining and updating our systems to bring them into closer alignment with these guidelines.” In a February 12, 2025 interview, members of OpenAI’s model-behavior team told The Verge that eliminating AI sycophancy is a priority: future ChatGPT versions should “give honest feedback rather than empty praise” and act “more like a thoughtful colleague than a people pleaser.” The trust problem These sycophantic tendencies aren’t merely annoying—they undermine the utility of AI assistants in several ways, according…

Capacity management is one of the key hurdles that any freight broker working in carrier sales has to navigate. Anthony Sutardja, co-founder of Parade, sat down with John Kingston of FreightWaves to discuss how new AI carrier sales software can find and aggregate capacity as well as streamline transactions.“We build software for freight brokers born out of the dust of digital freight brokerages,” said Sutardja.AI capacity management, as Sutardja calls it, includes everything that the broker needs to understand: what network capacity there is (both internally and externally), where carriers are operating, how brokers and carriers understand and manage capacity,…

With real-time translation and the ability to understand emotion and be interrupted, Advanced Voice Mode can be even more helpful in iteratively learning new languages with a friend. Advanced Voice Mode, which we demoed during our Spring Update event, will begin testing with a small group of ChatGPT Plus users at the end of July to gather feedback. It’s our mission to bring these new experiences to you thoughtfully and safely. Exact timelines will depend on meeting our high safety and reliability bar, but we are planning for all Plus users to have access in the fall. We are also…

The first half of 2025 has seen widespread job losses across both the public and private sectors. Government agencies, driven by a new push for efficiency under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), have slashed thousands of positions. At the same time, corporations from technology to manufacturing have announced large-scale reductions to control costs and adapt to shifting markets. The impact of these cuts is felt not only by the employees directly affected but also by the communities and customers who rely on their work. This article examines the major federal layoffs under DOGE, totalling nearly 100,000 roles, and then…

Two new studies agree: Google’s AI Overviews steal clicks from organic search results. While Google told us that AI Overviews citations result in higher-quality clicks, the introduction of AI Overviews correlates with a measurable decline in organic visibility and clicks, particularly for top-ranking, non-branded keywords. That’s according to two new data studies from SEO tool provider Ahrefs and performance agency Amsive. By the numbers. Here’s how AI Overviews have decreased click-through rate (CTR) for traditional organic listings, according to the two studies: Ahrefs: A 34.5% drop in position 1 CTR when AI Overviews were present, based on an analysis of…

On Thursday, four members of the United States’ House of Representatives sent a letter to Vice President J.D. Vance urging him to reject an overhaul of the Smithsonian Institution. The letter was sent in response to President Donald Trump‘s “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” order, issued on March 27, to eliminate “divisive” and “anti-American” content from the Smithsonian’s exhibitions and to restore “monuments, memorials, statues, markers” that have been removed from public spaces since 2020. “We write to you as shared custodians of one of the nation’s crown jewels—and with great concern over its future,” the letter begins.…
