The State Space Solution to Hallucinations: How State Space Models are Slicing the Competition
AI-powered search tools often hallucinate and make up facts, misquote sources, and recycle outdated information. The real cause of this is tied to the architecture of most AI models: Transformer. In this article, author Albert Lie explains why transformers struggle with hallucinations, how State Space Models (SSMs) offer a solution, and what this shift could mean for the future of AI search.

Spotting Image Differences in Visual Software Testing with AI
Current AI, including multimodal models, fails at robust visual regression testing, missing structural changes that pixel-based tools flag as false positives. This article proposes a CNN-based solution to compare image segments, tolerating minor displacements. For larger distortions, a multi-scale algorithm realigns the images before comparison, isolating the true differences.
