This New AI Just Changed Materials Science Forever
Researchers have developed LLaMat, a family of specialized AI language models that outperform larger general-purpose systems on materials science tasks despite having fewer parameters. The models, built on Meta's LLaMA architecture and trained on 30 billion tokens of scientific literature, revealed an unexpected finding: LLaMA-2 adapts better to specialized training than the newer LLaMA-3, suggesting advanced models may resist domain-specific learning.

New Breakthrough Supercharges Reasoning LLM Training Speed
MIT researchers have developed a new training method that cuts the time needed to train large language models by up to 70-210%, potentially saving millions in computing costs. The technique, called "Taming the Long Tail" (TLT), repurposes idle GPU cycles during reinforcement learning to simultaneously train a smaller "drafter" model, doubling efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.

The End Of Google Search As We Know It
Google has overhauled its search results for travel and hotel queries across Europe to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, replacing its own services with links to competitors like Booking.com and Skyscanner. The European Commission launched a formal investigation in March 2024, suspecting the changes still violate anti-monopoly rules that could trigger fines up to 10% of global revenue.
