@B24PT Luis Catarino é apenas o melhor comentador da sportv. Criticar alguém por festejar este golo espetacular é má fé, quem ama futebol ama este golo.

1/ Can Large Language Models (LLMs) truly reason? Or are they just sophisticated pattern matchers? In our latest preprint, we explore this key question through a large-scale study of both open-source like Llama, Phi, Gemma, and Mistral and leading closed models, including the recent OpenAI GPT-4o and o1-series.

How does the human brain represent semantic information from different languages?

Our new preprint suggests that bilingual language comprehension relies on shared semantic representations that are systematically modulated by each language!

Join xAI if you can stand a boss who:
- claims that what you are working on will be solved next year (no pressure).
- claims that what you are working on will kill everyone and must be stopped or paused (yay, vacation for 6 months!).
- claims to want a "maximally rigorous pursuit of the truth" but spews crazy-ass conspiracy theories on his own social platform.
