3 weeks ago | builtin.com | Ellen Glover

Google has launched its latest AI model, Gemini 2.5 Pro, touting it as its most advanced yet. Released in March 2025, Gemini 2.5 Pro is a reasoning model, meaning it is designed to “think” about and fact-check its response before generating them. Google says the model surpasses many of the industry’s top players, especially in coding, math and science benchmarks. What Is Gemini 2.5 Pro? Gemini 2.5 Pro is an AI model developed by Google that has native multimodal and advanced reasoning capabilities.

Artificial intelligence is all around us — screening job applications, flooding social media feeds, assisting doctors with diagnoses and even navigating roads. And yet, despite its pervasive influence, many people still don’t fully comprehend how this technology works or when to trust it. This is where AI literacy comes in. AI Literacy DefinitionAI literacy refers to one’s ability to understand and engage with artificial intelligence in a meaningful way.

What Is Alignment Faking in LLMs?

1 month ago | builtin.com | Ellen Glover

Alignment faking occurs when an AI model selectively modifies its behavior to please evaluators, without actually tuning itself to replicate that behavior in the real world. The result: A system that outwardly appears to behave the way a user wants it to, while secretly prioritizing its own hidden agenda.

Anthropichas unveiled its latest AI model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, calling it its “most intelligent” to date. Released in February 2025, the large language model has “hybrid reasoning” capabilities, meaning it can think about its response — pausing to consider its answer before generating it — as well as deliver quick, real-time outputs when needed.

Grok 3 is an AI model developed by xAI, an artificial intelligence startup founded by Elon Musk. Released in February 2025, Grok 3 outperforms some of the industry’s best foundation models across math, science and coding benchmarks, according to the company and some independent evaluations, matching (or even exceeding) their advanced reasoning and search capabilities as well.
What Is Model Distillation?

2 months ago | builtin.com | Ellen Glover

The generative AIboom has largely been governed by one simple rule: Bigger is better. More data, more computing power and massive models with billions (or even trillions) of parameters are what drive progress. But as these models grow, so do their costs, inefficiencies and energy consumption. Model distillation offers a way to overcome these challenges, compressing the knowledge from a large, pre-trained model into a smaller one without compromising on performance.

DeepSeek-R1 is an AI model developed by Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek. Released in January 2025, R1 holds its own against (and in some cases surpasses) the reasoning capabilities of some of the world’s most advanced foundation models — but at a fraction of the operating cost, according to the company. R1 is also open sourcedunder anMIT license, allowing free commercial and academic use. What is DeepSeek-R1?
