Engineers use AI to wrangle fusion power for the grid

21 February 2024 - …superheated plasma that drives a fusion reaction can lose its stability…These getaways frequently spell the end of the reaction…But a Princeton-led team … have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to predict — and then avoid — the formation of a specific plasma problem in real time.

Driving Everywhere with Large Language Model Policy Adaptation

In this paper, we present LLaDA, a simple yet powerful tool that enables human drivers and autonomous vehicles alike to drive everywhere by adapting their tasks and motion plans to traffic rules in new locations. LLaDA achieves this by leveraging the impressive zero-shot generalizability of large language models (LLMs) in interpreting the traffic rules in the local driver handbook.

Automated Unit Test Improvement using Large Language Models at Meta

In an evaluation on Reels and Stories products for Instagram, 75% of TestGen-LLM's test cases built correctly, 57% passed reliably, and 25% increased coverage. During Meta's Instagram and Facebook test-a-thons, it improved 11.5% of all classes to which it was applied, with 73% of its recommendations being accepted for production deployment by Meta software engineers. We believe this is the first report on industrial scale deployment of LLM-generated code backed by such assurances of code improvement.
