Inside a lab in Boston University’s College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box placed perfectly on the floor to catch them as they fall. One by one, these tiny structures—feather-light, cylindrical pieces, no bigger than an inch tall—fill the box. Some are red, others blue, purple, green, or black.Inside a lab in Boston University’s College of Engineering, a robot arm drops small, plastic objects into a box placed perfectly on the floor to catch them as they fall.

Stack AI wants to make it easier to build AI-fueled workflows

Stack AI’s co-founders, Antoni Rosinol and Bernardo Aceituno, were PhD students at MIT wrapping up their degrees in 2022 just as large language models were becoming more mainstream. ChatGPT would be released to the world at the end of the year, but even before that, they recognized a problem inside companies putting data together with […]

An international team of psychologists and neurobiologists has found via experimentation that two types of LLMs are able to equal or outperform humans on theory of mind tests. In their study reported in the journal Nature Human Behavior, the group administered theory of mind tests to volunteers and compared the average results with those from two types of LLMs.An international team of psychologists and neurobiologists has found via experimentation that two types of LLMs are able to equal or outperform humans on theory of mind tests.
