This AI Paper Explores Reinforced Learning and Process Reward Models: Advancing LLM Reasoning with Scalable Data and Test-Time Scaling
Scaling the size of large language models (LLMs) and their training data have now opened up emergent capabilities that allow these models to perform highly structured reasoning, logical deductions, and abstract thought. These are not incremental improvements over previous tools but mark the journey toward reaching Artificial general intelligence (AGI). Training LLMs to reason well…
Neural Processing Units (NPUs): The Driving Force Behind Next-Generation AI and Computing
Just as GPUs once eclipsed CPUs for AI workloads, Neural Processing Units (NPUs) are set to challenge GPUs by delivering even faster, more efficient performance—especially for generative AI, where massive real-time processing must happen at lightning speed and at lower cost. The question is how do NPUs work, and why are they edging out their…
