Advancements in large language machine-learning models have revolutionized the capabilities of chatbots like ChatGPT. However, when engaged in prolonged conversations, these powerful AI systems often encounter performance issues.

Researchers from MIT and other institutions have successfully identified the underlying cause of this problem and developed a simple yet effective solution. By making a slight adjustment to the key-value cache, which acts as a conversation memory for these language models, the researchers have enabled chatbots to maintain uninterrupted conversations without experiencing crashes or slowdowns.

In late 2019, after years of studying aviation and aerospace engineering, Hector (Haofeng) Xu decided to learn to fly helicopters. At the time, he was pursuing his PhD in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, so he was familiar with the risks associated with flying small aircraft.

Inspired by his experiences in the cockpit, Xu founded Rotor Technologies, Inc. in 2021 to make helicopter flight safer, as many fatalities occur during helicopter flights for activities like crop dusting, fighting fires, and medical evacuations.

Microsoft-backed OpenAI is developing agent software that automates complex tasks by taking control of users’ devices. This software handles web-based tasks like gathering public data on companies, creating itineraries, and booking flights.
