How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new ...

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today unveiled two new AI models that are capable of advanced mathematical reasoning for solving complex math problems, which ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the economics of AI. What looks like intelligence in AI models may just be memorization. A closer look at benchmarks ...

Phi-4 will compete with other small models such as GPT-4o mini, Gemini 2.0 Flash, and Claude 3.5 Haiku. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share on Reddit ...

Artificial intelligence for formal mathematical reasoning startup Harmonic AI Inc. announced today that it has raised $100 million in new funding on a nearly $900 million valuation to accelerate the ...

Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has released a mathematical reasoning model that can identify and correct its own errors. The model beat the best human score in one of the world’s ...

Microsoft has introduced a new set of small language models called Phi-4-reasoning, Phi-4-reasoning-plus, and Phi-4-mini-reasoning, which are described as "marking a new era for efficient AI." These ...

The new model is designed to solve complex problems across a small handful of fields, but OpenAI says the model performs similarly to Ph.D. students in those tasks. Imad was a senior reporter covering ...

A team of Apple researchers has found that advanced AI models’ alleged ability to “reason” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But marketing aside, there’s no agreed-upon industrywide definition for what ...
