LLMs need companion bots to check work, keep them honest


Sree Vijaykumar Interview: Don't trust; verify. According to AI researcher Vishal Sikka, LLMs alone are limited by computational boundaries and will start to hallucinate when they push those boundaries. One solution? Companion bots that check their work.

“To expect that a model that has been trained on a certain amount of data will be able to do an arbitrarily large number of calculations which are reliable is a wrong assumption. This is the point of the paper,” said Sikka, CEO of Vianai Systems during a call this week to discuss that research.

Scientists finally solve a 100-year-old mystery in the air we breathe
Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we breathe. These tiny particles -- from soot and microplastics to viruses -- are linked to serious health risks, yet most models still treat them as perfect spheres for simplicity. By reworking a century-old formula, researchers have created the first simple, accurate way to predict how particles of almost any shape behave.
