New Apple study challenges whether AI models truly “reason” through problems

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-24 11:56:47

In early June, Apple researchers released a study suggesting that simulated reasoning (SR) models, such as OpenAI's o1 and o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet Thinking, produce outputs consistent with pattern-matching from training data when faced with novel problems requiring systematic thinking. The researchers found similar results to a recent study by the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) in April, showing that these same models achieved low scores on novel mathematic

A Political Battle Is Brewing Over Data Centers

wired.com Molly Taft 2025-09-23 08:56:09

A 10-year moratorium on state-level AI regulation included in President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has brushed up against a mounting battle over the growth of data centers. On Thursday, Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, posted on X that the megabill’s 10-year block on states regulating artificial intelligence could “make it easier for corporations to get zoning variances, so massive AI data centers could be built in close proximity to residential areas.” Massie, who

Can Scale AI and Alexandr Wang reignite Meta’s AI efforts?

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-09-24 09:16:34

Meta is reportedly investing nearly $15 billion in the data-labeling firm Scale AI and taking a 49% stake in the startup, while also bringing on CEO Alexandr Wang to help lead a new “superintelligence” lab within the company. The deal is reminiscent of Meta’s previous large and risky bets, such as its $19 billion acquisition of WhatsApp and its $1 billion Instagram purchase. At the time those mergers closed, many people suggested Meta had grossly overpaid for the platforms — and today’s discour

Under new bill, Bigfoot could become California’s “official cryptid”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-09 06:01:35

You might suspect that a one-line bill about Bigfoot that bears the number "666" is a joke, but AB-666 is apparently a serious offering from California Assemblymember Chris Rogers. Rogers represents a California district known for its Bigfoot sightings (or "sightings," depending on your persuasion—many of these have been faked), and he wants to make Bigfoot the "official cryptid" of the state. His bill notes that California already has many official symbols, including the golden poppy (official

Microsoft's quantum chip Majarona 1 is a few qubits short

zdnet.com Tiernan Ray 2025-06-09 01:08:10

Microsoft says its Majorana 1 contains eight topological qubits and can scale to a million, though the details on how it will scale are scant. Microsoft Quantum Microsoft's quantum computing scientists announced they have finally realized a long-held goal of building a "topological qubit", the equivalent of a transistor for ordinary chips, that may help advance quantum computing. The qubit is the functional element of a quantum chip, called Majorana 1, based on an exotic particle, a hybrid of

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s Phone app is adding new filters to help users organize their call logs and reduce clutter. The new filters let users sort call history by missed calls, calls from contacts, and spam-marked numbers. Google has been expanding its Call Assist features with tools like Hold for Me, Direct My Call, and reverse phone lookup. Google is making a small but useful change to its phone dialer app, aiming to make call history management less of a headache.

Q1. Did you see Microsoft’s announcement? A. Yes, thanks, you can stop emailing to ask! Microsoft’s Chetan Nayak was even kind enough to give me a personal briefing a few weeks ago. Yesterday I did a brief interview on this for the BBC’s World Business Report, and I also commented for MIT Technology Review. Q2. What is a topological qubit? A. It’s a special kind of qubit built using nonabelian anyons, which are excitations that can exist in a two-dimensional medium, behaving neither as fermio
