A new way to increase the capabilities of large language models

MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers developed an expressive architecture that provides better state tracking and sequential reasoning in LLMs over long texts.

Enabling small language models to solve complex reasoning tasks

The “self-steering” DisCIPL system directs small models to work together on tasks with constraints, like itinerary planning and budgeting.

New method improves the reliability of statistical estimations

The technique can help scientists in economics, public health, and other fields understand whether to trust the results of their experiments.

New control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe

MIT CSAIL and LIDS researchers developed a mathematically grounded system that lets soft robots deform, adapt, and interact with people and objects, without violating safety limits.

MIT scientists debut a generative AI model that could create molecules addressing hard-to-treat diseases

BoltzGen generates protein binders for any biological target from scratch, expanding AI’s reach from understanding biology toward engineering it.

Understanding the nuances of human-like intelligence

Associate Professor Phillip Isola studies the ways in which intelligent machines “think,” in an effort to safely integrate AI into human society.

Charting the future of AI, from safer answers to faster thinking

MIT PhD students who interned with the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab Summer Program are pushing AI tools to be more flexible, efficient, and grounded in truth.

MIT researchers propose a new model for legible, modular software

The coding framework uses modular concepts and simple synchronization rules to make software clearer, safer, and easier for LLMs to generate.

3 Questions: How AI is helping us monitor and support vulnerable ecosystems

MIT PhD student and CSAIL researcher Justin Kay describes his work combining AI and computer vision systems to monitor the ecosystems that support our planet.

Five with MIT ties elected to National Academy of Medicine for 2025

Professors Facundo Batista and Dina Katabi, along with three additional MIT alumni, are honored for their outstanding professional achievement and commitment to service.
