Photo-Illustration: Wired Staff; Bill Ross/Getty For a while now, companies like OpenAI and Google have been touting advanced “reasoning” capabilities as the next big step in their latest artificial intelligence models. Now, though, a new study from six Apple engineers shows that the mathematical “reasoning” displayed by advanced large language models can be extremely brittle and unreliable in the face of seemingly trivial changes to common benchmark problems. The fragility highlighted in these new results helps support previous research suggesting that LLMs’ use of probabilistic pattern matching is missing the formal understanding of underlying concepts needed for truly reliable […]

Courtesy of Sony Hot on the heels of its PS5 Pro announcement , Sony has once more upped the pre-holidays ante with its reveal of the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection , on sale November 21. But for some of us, the thought of enhanced ray-tracing and boosted performance aren’t its most exciting proposition. Readers of a certain vintage go misty-eyed at the thought of their old PS1s —arguably the first console that consciously looked beyond the kids’ market and fully embraced adult players—not to mention the roster of stone-cold classic titles and a clubbing-culture-influenced ad campaign that propelled it […]

The Space Station over Miami, Florida, USA. US space officials do not like to talk about the perils of flying astronauts on the aging International Space Station , elements of which are now more than a quarter of a century old. However, a new report confirms that NASA managers responsible for operating the space station are seriously concerned about a small Russian part of the station, essentially a tunnel that connects a larger module to a docking port, which is leaking. Russian and US officials have known that this small PrK module, which lies between a Progress spacecraft airlock […]

The latest iPhones, unveiled by Apple at a marketing event Monday, look virtually identical to last year’s models. But Apple hopes that what’s underneath — new software that brings what it describes as artificial intelligence to the new phones — will persuade people to upgrade. Apple Intelligence, the company’s new suite of AI services, automates tasks including generating images, rewriting emails and summarizing web articles. Only the iPhone 16s unveiled Monday or last year’s iPhone 15 Pro can run the new software because older models are too slow to handle those tasks, according to the company. The faster iPhone […]
