Exposing biases, moods, personalities, and abstract concepts hidden in large language models

A new method developed at MIT could root out vulnerabilities and improve LLM safety and performance By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they’re far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as certain tones, personalities, biases, and moods. However, it’s not obvious…

This “smart coach” helps LLMs switch between text and code

The CodeSteer system could boost large language models’ accuracy when solving complex problems, such as scheduling shipments in a supply chain Large language models (LLMs) excel at using textual reasoning to understand the context of a document and provide a logical answer about its contents. But these same LLMs often struggle to correctly answer even…

A bionic knee integrated into tissue can restore natural movement

In a small clinical study, users of this prosthesis navigated more easily and said the limb felt more like part of their body MIT researchers have developed a new bionic knee that can help people with above-the-knee amputations walk faster, climb stairs, and avoid obstacles more easily than they could with a traditional prosthesis. Unlike…

MIT physicists discover a new type of superconductor that’s also a magnet

The “one-of-a-kind” phenomenon was observed in ordinary graphite. Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water — or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption. In a paper published in Nature, the physicists report the discovery of a “chiral superconductor” — a material that conducts…

MIT engineers advance toward a fault-tolerant quantum computer

Researchers achieved a type of coupling between artificial atoms and photons that could enable readout and processing of quantum information in a few nanoseconds In the future, quantum computers could rapidly simulate new materials or help scientists develop faster machine-learning models, opening the door to many new possibilities. But these applications will only be possible…
