Imagine trying to teach a child how to solve a tricky math problem. You might start by showing them examples, guiding them step by step, and encouraging them to think critically about their approach.

A team of AI researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, working with a colleague from Meta AI, has introduced d1, a diffusion-large-language-model-based framework that has been improved ...

“We introduce our first-generation reasoning models, DeepSeek-R1-Zero and DeepSeek-R1. DeepSeek-R1-Zero, a model trained via large-scale reinforcement learning (RL) without supervised fine-tuning (SFT ...

Today's AI agents are a primitive approximation of what agents are meant to be. True agentic AI requires serious advances in reinforcement learning and complex memory.

David Shan is the Co-Founder and CTO of Clado, who trains in-house small language models to build the best people search algorithm. We celebrate RL breakthroughs, but behind the hype lies a brittle ...

AI coding tools are getting better fast. If you don’t work in code, it can be hard to notice how much things are changing, but GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 have made a whole new set of developer tricks ...
