States would be banned by the federal government from enforcing laws that regulate AI for the next decade. The vote fell largely along party lines, with nearly every

Large language models display emergence behaviors: when the parameter count is scaled to a certain value, suddenly the LLM is capable of performing a new task not possible at a smaller size.
