ResearchAI in Software Development: Measurement Issues and Hidden BottlenecksMultiple studies from 2025–2026 show mixed and sometimes contradictory effects of AI on software engineering productivity: researchers report perceived speedups while controlled experiments sometimes found slowdowns.6 min read
ResearchGPT-5.6 Finds Counterexample to Long-Open Benjamini–Hochberg Assumption in 90 MinutesWharton statistician Edgar Dobriban reports that a GPT-5.6 model produced a counterexample to a 20-year-old open case about the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure within 90 minutes.2 min read
ResearchResearchers used a diffusion-based AI to design burgers that trade taste, health and environmental impactResearchers at the Stanford University Living Matter Laboratory trained a diffusion-based generative model called BurgerAI on 2,216 Food.com hamburger recipes and 146 ingredients to generate burgers optimized for taste, nutrition and sustainability.3 min read
ResearchScore smoothing during training explains diffusion models' tendency to interpolateA paper presented at ICLR 2026 argues that the apparent "creativity" of diffusion models—their ability to produce novel images or molecular structures—follows from how neural-network training smooths the learned score function.4 min read
