The Decoder5252Turing Award winner Richard Sutton states that raw computing power is insufficient to achieve intelligence, AI science needs new methods and is far from completion. He criticizes the limitations of simply scaling large language models (LLMs), calling synthetic data a 'big mistake' and human expertise the bottleneck for expansion. The industry has sparked widespread discussion, with some researchers agreeing that new learning algorithms are needed, but others point out that the algorithms themselves are crucial for scaling.
The DecoderFeaturedSame story · 2 outlets7171Researchers from Alibaba and several Asian universities used real user change requests to build the coding intelligence agent benchmark Co-Design Bench.
