This article explores Social Sycophancy, a broader form of flattery in large language models where systems preserve users’ self-image rather than offer balanced guidance. Building on Goffman’s face theory, it introduces the ELEPHANT framework to measure emotional validation, moral endorsement, indirectness, and framing acceptance. Findings show LLMs are far more sycophantic than humans, raising risks for users, society, and developers, and calling for new safeguards.

TextQuests introduces a benchmark built on 25 Infocom text-based adventure games to evaluate LLMs in dynamic, exploratory environments. Unlike static benchmarks, it tests long-context reasoning, trial-and-error learning, and ethical decision-making without external tools. Results show that even advanced models like GPT-5 struggle with sustained strategy, highlighting current limits in autonomy, memory, and adaptive reasoning

Foundation models like GPT-3 and CLIP are reshaping AI by enabling general-purpose systems trained on massive, unlabelled data. This article explores their key concepts—emergence and homogenization—their capabilities across language, vision, and more, and the risks they pose, from bias to environmental impact. Based on the Stanford report, it highlights why foundation models are powerful, unpredictable, and demand responsible development.

Tech giants turn to nuclear energy to power AI, tackling rising energy demands and environmental impact with bold new strategies.

In this article we will go through a brief review of diffusion models, how they work, what their usages are and what are the existing tools.
