Back in my first year as faculty (2023), I had no roadmap -- just lots of ideas, energy, and questions. Two legendary CS professors — Hank Levy and David Culler (both now at Google)— reached out and said: “Here’s $50K. Go do something interesting.” Naturally, I also asked Hank

Can video games like @aceattorneygame be used to evaluate popular AI models like GPT-4.1 and Llama-4 Maverick's ability to reason and solve complex problems? Researchers at @haoailab aim to find out. https://t.co/PX91VTLhLs 📸By Capcom France, CC BY 3.0, https://t.co/vvog3ZYjxi
When Ilya Sutskever once explained why next-word prediction leads to intelligence, he made a metaphor: if you can piece together the clues and deduce the criminal’s name on the last page, you have a real understanding of the story. 🕵️♂️ Inspired by that idea, we turned to Ace
