Can we fix AI’s evaluation crisis?

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-09-04 15:50:30

However, there are a growing number of teams around the world trying to address the AI evaluation crisis. One result is a new benchmark called LiveCodeBench Pro. It draws problems from international algorithmic olympiads—competitions for elite high school and university programmers where participants solve challenging problems without external tools. The top AI models currently manage only about 53% at first pass on medium-difficulty problems and 0% on the hardest ones. These are tasks where hu

TCL 60 XE Nxtpaper 5G Review: A Pleasing Matte Screen

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-09-04 18:33:00

Everyone wants to filter out blue light. Whether through your glasses, laptop, or smartphone, companies have hopped on the bandwagon to integrate blue light blockers to cut the wavelength from reaching your eyes. The claim is to help improve sleep and reduce eyestrain, even though studies have yet to find these blockers effective. TCL is one such company. It has been manufacturing phones and tablets with its “Nxtpaper” LCD technology for a few years, and the third generation in the TCL 60 XE Nx

Google didn’t specify whether it plans to support local languages or when that might be available. Users can search for answers to complex, multi-part queries such as “My kids are 4 and 7 and have lots of energy. Suggest creative ways

Nobel Prize Winner Warns About Astronomers Using AI to Make Discoveries

A team of astronomers say they've gleaned the mysterious traits of our galaxy's black hole by probing it with an AI model. But a pretty big name on the field is throwing a little bit of cold water on their work. Just a little bit. Reinhard Genzel, a Nobel laureate and an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute, expressed some skepticism regarding the team's use of AI, and the quality of the data they fed into the model.

Development of the benchmark at HongShan began in 2022, following ChatGPT’s breakout success, as an internal tool for assessing which models are worth investing in. Since then, led by partner Gong Yuan, the team has steadily expanded the system, bringing in outside researchers and professionals to help refine it. As the project grew more sophisticated, they decided to release it to the public. Xbench approached the problem with two different systems. One is similar to traditional benchmarking:

Apple Research just unearthed a forgotten AI technique and is using it to generate images

Today, most generative image models basically fall into two main categories: diffusion models, like Stable Diffusion, or autoregressive models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4o.

And with a dash of Transformers on top, they might be more capable than previously thought. First things first: What are Normalizing Flows?

Scientists Just Found Something Unbelievably Grim About Pollution Generated by AI

Tech companies are hellbent on pushing out ever more advanced artificial intelligence models — but there appears to be a grim cost to that progress. In a new study in the science journal Frontiers in Communication, German researchers found that large language models (LLM) that provide more accurate answers use exponentially more energy — and hence produce more carbon — than their simpler and lower-performing peers.
