The relentless march of AI capabilities continues, driven largely by ever-larger models and increasingly sophisticated training methods. For large language models (LLMs), Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a powerful technique, allowing models to learn directly from outcome-based feedback rather than just mimicking human-provided steps. Recent variants have pushed towards a "zero"...

What is reinforcement learning? An AI researcher explains a key method of teaching machines – and how it relates to training your dog
Understanding intelligence and creating intelligent machines are grand scientific challenges of our times. The ability to learn from experience is a cornerstone of intelligence for machines and living beings alike. In a remarkably prescient 1948 report, Alan Turing – the father of modern computer science – proposed the construction of machines that display intelligent behavior....
How AI is shaping the cybersecurity arms race
The average business receives 10,000 alerts every day from the various software tools it uses to monitor for intruders, malware and other threats. Cybersecurity staff often find themselves inundated with data they need to sort through to manage their cyber defenses. The stakes are high. Cyberattacks are increasing and affect thousands of organizations and millions...
