Here’s how ChatGPT’s upcoming ‘Study Together’ tool could enhance learning (APK teardown)

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-07-23 11:31:10

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority TL;DR OpenAI is working on a dedicated “Study Together” mode to help users grasp concepts better. Study Together is likely to help break down concepts into simpler terms and follow up with quizzes for more engaged learning. It is being tested with both free and paid users, suggesting non-paying users might also have access when it launches. AI tools, such as ChatGPT, have accelerated learning by making concepts much easier to find and summarize. Now, OpenA

Apple’s machine learning framework is getting support for NVIDIA’s CUDA platform

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-07-25 19:22:22

Apple’s MLX machine learning framework, originally designed for Apple Silicon, is getting a CUDA backend, which is a pretty big deal. Here’s why. The work is being led by developer @zcbenz on GitHub (via AppleInsider), who started prototyping CUDA support a few months ago. Since then, he split the project into smaller pieces, and gradually merged them into Apple’s MLX’s main branch. The backend is still a work in progress, but several core operations, like matrix multiplication, softmax, reduc

AI text-to-speech programs could “unlearn” how to imitate certain people

technologyreview.com Peter Hall 2025-07-28 03:00:16

AI companies generally keep a tight grip on their models to discourage misuse. For example, if you ask ChatGPT to give you someone’s phone number or instructions for doing something illegal, it will likely just tell you it cannot help. However, as many examples over time have shown, clever prompt engineering or model fine-tuning can sometimes get these models to say things they otherwise wouldn’t. The unwanted information may still be hiding somewhere inside the model so that it can be accessed

Megan Ellis / Android Authority I’ve had a lifelong love of learning, to the point where I used to read encyclopedias and dictionaries as a child, along with a variety of non-fiction books around specific topics.

The era of exploration

Large language models are the unintended byproduct of about three decades worth of freely accessible human text online. Ilya Sutskever compared this reservoir of information to fossil fuel, abundant but ultimately finite. Some studies suggest that, at current token‑consumption rates, frontier labs could exhaust the highest‑quality English web text well before the decade ends.

Just Ask for Generalization (2021)

Generalizing to what you want may be easier than optimizing directly for what you want. We might even ask for "consciousness".

The Personalized Learning Revolution: An EdTech Insider’s Perspective

Back in the 90s, when I was in school, education was like a uniform everyone had to wear—the same textbooks, the same blackboard, and the same hurried lessons for all. If you fell behind, your only lifeline was to awkwardly raise your hand in the middle of class or spend hours in the library after school, rifling through reference books. Fast forward 30 years, and it’s fascinating how far we’ve come. Today, thanks to AI/ML, we have adaptive learning systems—tailored to each student based on thei

Tech giants unleash AI on weather forecasts: are they any good?

A wave of machine-learning weather models have been unleashed by some of the very biggest businesses on the planet.

Risk Expert Says "Learn to Code" Is Now Worse Advice Than "Get a Face Tattoo"

During a recent exchange on "Real Time with Bill Maher," risk analyst Ian Bremmer argued that artificial intelligence has basically eviscerated the "learn to code" cottage industry. When discussing the way AI has swept the world and taken many white collar jobs with it, Bremmer referenced how rapidly the technology has overtaken the traditional career trajectory for programmers — so much so that people who used to have cushy software developer jobs are now selling their plasma to make ends meet

Q-learning is not yet scalable

Does RL scale? Over the past few years, we've seen that next-token prediction scales, denoising diffusion scales, contrastive learning scales, and so on, all the way to the point where we can train models with billions of parameters with a scalable objective that can eat up as much data as we can throw at it. Then, what about reinforcement learning (RL)? Does RL also scale like all the other objectives? Apparently, it does. In 2016, RL achieved superhuman-level performance in games like Go and C
