SK hynix, TetraMem, and the University of Southern California built a memristor-based in-memory computing system-on-chip for AI edge devices, achieving promising energy efficiency, but failed to demonstrate its full potential.

Anthropic says it can read Claude’s ‘thoughts,’ as detailed in new research paper — models observed to have a global workspace, revealing more of what makes LLMs tick

Anthropic has discovered an internal “J-space” for its Claude AI that displays similarities to human internal processing. While the AI developer anthropomorphizes it as thought, it may yet prove useful as a method of improving LLM honesty, oversight, and guardrails.
