Image generation systems normally use a tokenizer to compress & encode visual data, along w/a generator that combines & arranges these representations to create images.
MIT's new method creates, converts, & "inpaints" images w/o using a generator at all: bit.ly/40ZlKkU

How do language models track dynamic scenarios, like completing code or guessing your responses?
MIT research finds that LMs don't track "state changes" step by step — they use mathematical shortcuts that we can control to boost LMs' prediction skills: bit.ly/4lJfYfK

Can AI actually code for us?
MIT research reveals there’s a "long way to go" due to bottlenecks like assessment, codebase scale, & incorrect retrievals. The work reflects a vision to let humans focus on high-level design while routine work is automated: bit.ly/46g5uj2
