NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 Ultra introduces a 550-billion-parameter language model designed to balance computational efficiency and task precision. Using a mixture-of-experts architecture, it activates only ...

Bumblebees faced with a challenge know how to play ball. Buff-tailed bumblebees can figure out on their own how to use a ball as a ladder to nab sugar from an out-of-reach fake flower, researchers ...

Despite having tiny brains, bumblebees have demonstrated a remarkable ability to socially learn how to use tools, solve simple puzzles, and cooperate to achieve a goal. It seems they can also solve ...

German psychologist Wolfgang Köhler set up a famous experiment more than 100 years ago that changed how scientists understand animal intelligence and the power of insight — or spontaneous ...

In a new study, bumble bees solve a completely novel object-manipulation task. What makes this behavior especially remarkable is that the bees had never been trained. The findings challenge the ...

I cut my teeth getting grounded in principles of design thinking when I launched a strategic design MBA during my university teaching years. Design thinking is essentially a problem-solving process ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Crows are among the most intelligent animals on Earth, capable of planning ahead, solving complex puzzles, recognizing human faces, and even teaching grudges to other crows . Studies have shown that ...

OpenAI is pushing AI beyond chat with the recent release of GPT-5.5, a model designed to complete multi-step work instead of stopping at answers. The company introduced GPT-5.5 on April 23, a new ...

Recent advances in Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models have shown promising potential for robotic manipulation tasks. However, real-world robotic tasks often involve long-horizon, multi-step ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...
