Computer scientists have long sought to build systems that can actively and autonomously carry out complicated goals in the real world—commonly referred to as artificial intelligence "agents." Recently, significant progress in large language models has… Read More

Researchers, companies, and policymakers have dedicated increasing attention to evaluating large language models (LLMs). This explainer covers why researchers are interested in evaluations, as well as some common evaluations and associated challenges. While evaluations can… Read More

A recent topic of contention among artificial intelligence researchers has been whether large language models can exhibit unpredictable ("emergent") jumps in capability as they are scaled up. These arguments have found their way into policy… Read More

Large language models (LLMs), the technology that powers generative artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, are often thought of as chatbots that predict the next word. But that isn't the full story… Read More
