MIT Unveils Dynamic Reasoning Method to Boost LLM Efficiency Researchers at MIT have engineered a more intelligent method for large language models (LLMs) to allocate computational resources during reasoning, significantly increasing their efficiency. This new technique enables LLMs to dynamically adjust the amount of computation used based on the complexity of a given question. This approach marks a departure from common methods that assign a fixed computational budget to every problem, which often wastes resources on simple queries and fails to solve more complex ones. By enhancing the reliability and efficiency of LLMs for complex reasoning, this development could lower the energy consumption of generative AI systems and enable their use in more critical, time-sensitive applications. The research is being presented at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems. ...

China’s AgiBot A2 Humanoid Robot Completes Record-Breaking 106-Kilometer Walk Setting a new world record for humanoid robotics, the AgiBot A2 has successfully walked 106 kilometers (66 miles) from Suzhou to Shanghai. Developed by Suzhou-based Zhiyuan Robotics, the robot completed the three-day journey as a test of its endurance and engineering. The AgiBot A2 showcased its advanced capabilities by navigating real-world environments and autonomously swapping its own batteries during the trek. While the company has not specified the frequency of battery swaps or the degree of human oversight, it confirmed the robot navigated using its onboard sensors and algorithms. This long-distance achievement marks a significant milestone in humanoid technology and environmental adaptability. ...
Kodiak’s Autonomous Trucks Hit Milestone with 100+ Driverless Deliveries in Permian Basin Kodiak Robotics and Atlas Energy Solutions have achieved a major milestone in logistics automation, successfully completing over 100 driverless deliveries of frac sand in the Permian Basin. This operation, utilizing two autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks, represents the first commercial use of a customer-owned fleet of self-driving trucks without a safety driver. The trucks navigate a challenging 21-mile route on private, unpaved oilfield roads, handling conditions like dust storms and heavy equipment traffic. Atlas Energy Solutions has praised the reliable service and ordered 100 more trucks, planning to scale the program in 2025 and 2026 as part of a broader strategy to create a fully automated supply chain. ...
AI Achieves High Accuracy in Early Dementia Detection Using EEG Signals Researchers at Örebro University have developed two novel AI systems capable of detecting dementia by analyzing EEG (brain-wave) data. These systems can effectively differentiate between healthy individuals and those with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. One model, which utilizes a combination of temporal convolutional and LSTM networks, has demonstrated an accuracy of over 80%. A second model, designed with a focus on privacy and efficiency through federated learning, has reportedly achieved an impressive accuracy of over 97%. ...
MIT Unveils BoltzGen: A Generative AI for Designing Therapeutic Molecules In a major leap for drug discovery, scientists at MIT have introduced BoltzGen, a generative AI model capable of creating novel protein binders from scratch. This innovative tool is designed to address diseases that have long been considered difficult or impossible to treat, marking a significant shift from predictive biology to generative engineering in medicine. How BoltzGen Unifies Design and Prediction BoltzGen stands out by unifying protein design and structure prediction into a single, powerful process. The model incorporates specific constraints to ensure that the molecules it generates are not only novel but also functional and stable, adhering to the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. Unlike previous models that were often limited to specific protein types, BoltzGen is engineered as a more general-purpose tool, capable of creating a much wider range of therapeutic molecules. ...
