Nous Research Introduces Hermes 4 Open Hybrid Reasoning Models
By
–
Nous Research introduced Hermes 4, a family of open, hybrid reasoning models Designed to be neutral, the models achieve SOTA on RefusalBench, which tests for willingness to be helpful in scenarios usually disallowed by both closed and open models

LLM Limitations and Rapid Progress in Image Capabilities
By
–
I agree that it is a problem that the models have no idea of their own limits, it is one of many issues that make LLMs hard to use. And yes, agree image comprehension and image creation are both limited, but the evidence suggests pretty rapid improvement & some real utility.

AI Limitations in Enterprise: Building Systems for Flawed Outcomes
By
–
Depends on the solution and the setting! Anyone who says AI is flawless is wrong, obviously. But we build entire systems to help deal with flawed people, flawed processes, and flawed outcomes. We have lots of evidence that AI works for some enterprise use cases, not all of them

Why LLMs Should Weird You Out: Understanding Their Capabilities
By
–
I don't know anyone who uses LLMs who is not occasionally weirded out by what they can do. If you are not, you should be. They are weird. Wolfram had a rather startling (at least at the time) theory after using ChatGPT. Understanding whether he is right is important.

The Deep Mystery: How LLMs Simulate Human Thought
By
–
We really have not made a lot of progress on explaining the deep mystery of LLMs: How does a model using matrix multiplication to predict the next word manage to simulate human thought well enough to do all the very human-like things it does? And what does that mean about us?

How Do LLMs Simulate Human Thought Despite Small File Size
By
–
I think it is actually makes LLMs even weirder! The next question is "how does a file the size of a moderately sized video game simulate human thought" and I don't think we have good answers.

Communicating AI Capabilities Versus Limitations
By
–
From knowing both you guys a bit, I'm not sure you actually have very different opinions about the capabilities or what they imply — but just different opinions about whether the most valuable communication at the moment is to explain the limitations, or the capabilities.

LLM Fake Coding The Dark Side of AI Employment
By
–
The killer app for LLMs is Fake Coding. It’s all you need to land multiple simultaneous high-paying jobs while going to the beach. And when they finally fire you, you (i.e., your bot) can use your now-golden resume to land your next batch.
