The Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM) is a brain-inspired architecture that overcomes the depth limitations of current LLMs by reasoning in layers. Using two nested recurrent modules - fast, low-level processing and slower, high-level guidance, it achieves state-of-the-art results on complex reasoning benchmarks with only 27M parameters. HRM’s design enables adaptive computation, interpretable problem-solving steps, and emergent dimensional hierarchies similar to those seen in the brain. While tested mainly on structured puzzles, its efficiency and architectural innovation hint at a promising alternative to brute-force scaling.

This article challenges the “shiny object” syndrome in AI, comparing pointless tech hype to an elephant on a unicycle—fun to watch, but ultimately useless. It argues that truly valuable AI isn’t about wowing investors or generating pirate dad jokes, but about solving real problems, saving time, and improving lives in sectors like HR, healthcare, and education. The key to impactful AI lies in thoughtful design, real-world applicability, and ditching the circus act for tools that actually work.

At the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad, AI models from OpenAI and DeepMind achieved gold-medal level performance, solving 5 out of 6 challenging math problems. This historic milestone marks a turning point in AI’s ability to reason creatively, not just compute. The article traces the evolution from formal theorem provers to language-based models, exploring benchmark controversies and how extended deliberation unlocked new capabilities. It also examines the broader implications for math education, research, and the future of machine reasoning.

After 15 years in the trenches of HR, the truth is clear: the field became more about systems than people. AI is now knocking—and it’s not a soft knock. This blog explores how GenAI can eliminate HR’s mind-numbing busywork (think: resetting passwords, chasing approvals) and finally bring back the “human” in Human Resources. But trust, privacy, and integration aren't optional—they're the foundation.

In 2025, AI is quietly entering the "plumbing phase" of AGI, where integration, infrastructure, and iteration are driving real progress. Instead of flashy model releases, we’re seeing AI agents write production code, optimize their own training, and even discover new algorithms. But significant gaps remain in robustness, continual learning, and contextual understanding. The next breakthroughs may come not from larger models, but from smarter engineering, better protocols, and systems that can learn and adapt over time.

The piece argues that the AI worth paying attention to isn’t the flashy chatbot in your browser—it’s the invisible “back‑of‑house” intelligence quietly keeping infrastructure, logistics, and data‑center cooling from melting down. By automating incident prevention, routing trucks more efficiently, and slashing energy bills in server farms, these systems save companies millions while staying out of sight and out of mind. This emerging AIOps layer acts like tech’s R2‑D2: always on, fixing problems before humans even notice, and never asking for applause. In short, real power in AI lies backstage, delivering uptime and efficiency rather than witty banter.

AI is accelerating work so quickly that it warps our sense of time: long, repetitive tasks shrink to montage,like moments, freeing us to rethink what we do with the hours we regain. Yet every interaction still “costs”in energy, money, and the polite words we exchange with chatbots reminding us that speed isn’t free. The coming wave of agentic and (eventually) general AI aims not to replace humans but to act as a hyper-efficient co-pilot, squeezing drudgery out of each day and steering us away from poor decisions. Embracing these tools means adapting fast, using AI to reclaim time for creativity instead of letting tech, like so many social networks before it, steal our attention.

Ready to ditch the Skynet nightmares and boldly go where tech actually helps us? This post argues that real-world AI should mirror Star Trek’s hopeful, human-first gadgets, think communicators turned smartphones and tricorders turned MRI scanners while steering clear of apocalypse-bot territory. Strap in for a fun, trivia-packed ride that shows how ethics, empathy, and a dash of childhood wonder can warp-drive us toward a future worth getting excited about.

Modern AI dazzles with feats like theorem-proving yet still bungles grade-school logic, creating a “jagged frontier” of uneven skills. This article unpacks new evidence—from Salesforce’s SIMPLE puzzle benchmark, IBM-led Enterprise Bench, and Apple’s controversial “Illusion of Thinking” study—to show why LLM brilliance can hide catastrophic blind spots and what that means for anyone betting their business on AI.

People trust AI for small chores - Roombas, Alexa, fraud alerts, but panic when it takes bigger controls, like self-driving Teslas that sometimes crash into painted tunnels. The takeaway: AI is already making high-stakes decisions, so the job now is to steer and refine it rather than yank out the wires, exactly what Apolo helps teams do.

The piece explores whether AI risks draining the “movie magic” from filmmaking. It argues that every technological leap—sound, color, CGI—succeeds only when it serves story, and early AI missteps (like Secret Invasion’s opening credits) show audiences can sense when the human touch is missing. AI shines at speeding up previs, virtual environments, logistics, and background tasks, but it shouldn’t replace writers or directors. Used wisely, it frees creatives to focus on emotion and craft; used poorly, it hollows films out. The article concludes by championing AI tools that handle grunt work so storytellers can keep cinematic magic alive.

Modern LLMs use reward models—trained to reflect human preferences—to align their behavior through RLHF. While effective, this approach faces challenges like reward hacking and Goodhart's law. New research offers solutions such as verifiable feedback, constrained optimization, and self-critiquing models to improve alignment and reliability in complex tasks.
