Imagine an AI that doesn’t just assist in scientific research, but takes the reins entirely—dreaming up bold hypotheses, running experiments, drawing conclusions, and writing publishable papers. This isn’t the distant promise of some sci-fi future. It’s happening now. Sakana AI,…

Imagine an ancient craftsman shaping a tool, refining it bit by bit, generation after generation. Now picture this process sped up a thousandfold, driven by the ceaseless power of computation. Welcome to the future of AI reasoning—where thinking isn’t static…

Imagine standing in a forest, sunlight filtering through the canopy as you notice how every branch and leaf connects. The same intricate patterns emerge in rivers weaving through landscapes, neural pathways in our brains, and even the networks that power…

How a groundbreaking technique could reshape the way we find information online. If there’s one force shaping our modern world, it’s the promise that somewhere, among the near-infinite layers of digital information, the answer exists. With a few keystrokes, we…

It started with a question many of us wrestled with in a school: “If a train leaves a city at 8 a.m., traveling 60 kilometers per hour…” You know the rest. For humans, solving these puzzles often means painstakingly laying…

Imagine a future classroom where robots and humans learn together. A child watches as a robot identifies a glowing orb in the middle of a forest simulation. “That’s a firefly,” says the child. The robot replies, “Fireflies light up to…

Imagine an AI not just answering your query about tomorrow’s weather but considering whether a storm might disrupt the morning commute, even suggesting you take an earlier train. Welcome to the dawn of Inference Time Compute (ITC), a breakthrough that…

For decades, the story of artificial intelligence has been one of slow, steady progress—an uphill march toward systems that can mimic human reasoning and outperform us in narrowly defined tasks. But lately, that narrative has changed. Progress feels less like…
