McKinsey just dropped its 2025 AI report. 1. Everyone’s testing, few are scaling. 88% of companies now use AI somewhere. Only 33% have scaled it beyond pilots. 2. The profit gap is huge. Just 6% see real EBIT impact. Most are still stuck in “experiments,” not execution. 3. The

Details of the first federated learning model deployed by our friends at @NASA 🛰️ between Earth and the ISS is now out! Some really cool work by @RyanTScott and team!
Thrilled to share our pre-print on 1st Federated Learning model deployed between Earth & @Space_Station 🚀 Huge thanks to @HPE (SpaceBorne Computer), @intel (OpenFL), & @NASA @NASAGeneLab @NASAAmes Open Science Data Repository. Let’s build & move the ball forward! 🌅 Link below

If I finetune my LM just on responses, without conditioning on instructions, what happens when I test it with an instruction? Or if I finetune my LM just to generate poems from poem titles? Either way, the LM will roughly follow new instructions! Paper: https://t.co/Jk3EOtLJXF

This was a really fun project. Fine-tuning a model on "" => response produces a model that can do instruction => response What??

📢 Introducing HeadCT-ONE: Our new paper addresses a major gap in AI evaluation for radiology—capturing semantic equivalence. Using ontologies, we standardize medical terms, making AI-generated head CT reports more accurately comparable, even when phrasing differs.🧠✨
