Frontier models can recover up to 65% of facts they can’t directly recall — just by thinking longer

Frontier models can recover up to 65% of facts they can’t directly recall — just by thinking longer

When large language models (LLMs) hallucinate, developers typically assume the model lacks the required facts. Engineering teams diagnose the error as missing knowledge. The standard response is to increase model size, expand training data, or build complex retrieval architectures.A new study by researchers at Google Research and Technion demonstrates that the knowledge is often not … Read more

Guest Post: The Quantum Industry is Both Overhyped And Underestimated

Guest Post: The Quantum Industry is Both Overhyped And Underestimated

Guest Post By Ian Foley The problem with quantum computing is not that the industry is moving too slowly. It is that different parts of it are moving at very different speeds. The science is advancing, capital has arrived early, and commercial adoption is still searching for its breakthrough moment. That mismatch explains both the … Read more
