Why automation lags even as models get better The perception is that model improvement seems to be stagnating. GPT-5 wasn’t the step change that people were expecting. Yet, models continue to improve on reasoning benchmarks. Recently, both OpenAI and Google … Read more
People have been worrying about U.S. debt basically ever since there even was a U.S. “The accumulation of debts is a most fearful evil,” Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1787. At the time, U.S. debt was around $40 million. Today, it’s … Read more
About 70 percent of scientists say they have tried and failed to reproduce an experiment performed by their peers. And animal studies are, perhaps, among the least reproducible of all experiments because, in an effort to reduce the number of … Read more
There were a lot of speculation over the past years about what the next cycle of AI development could be. Agents? Reasoners? Actual multimodality? I think it’s time to call it: the model is the product. All current factors in … Read more
Notes to editors About the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI) Taking a different approach to much AI activity in the UK, the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI puts the needs of individuals and society at the very heart of … Read more
Abstract:Recent work suggests that large language models may implicitly learn world models. How should we assess this possibility? We formalize this question for the case where the underlying reality is governed by a deterministic finite automaton. This includes problems as … Read more

Recently I came across a minor mystery—the model numbers of the original IBM PC. For such a pivotal product, there is remarkably little detailed original information from the early days. When IBM started selling the PC, it used two methods … Read more
