    New Study: A Quarter Of College Students Using AI Daily Cheat With It

    A new study indicates that while generative AI use is widespread among college students, direct cheating by submitting AI-generated work is less common than feared. However, among students who use AI daily, 26% admitted to submitting AI-generated work inappropriately. The study highlights significant concerns about AI exposing fundamental weaknesses in how colleges assess learning and the credibility of degrees. AI

    Harvard admits it was too easy to get A grades, vows crackdown

    Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences has voted to implement a new policy limiting the number of A grades awarded to undergraduates, aiming to combat grade inflation. Starting in fall 2027, instructors will be capped at giving A grades to no more than 20% of students in a class, plus an additional four students. This measure seeks to restore the meaning of high grades for students, employers, and graduate schools, addressing concerns that inflated grades no longer reflect exceptional achievement. AI

    College students are booing commencement speakers celebrating AI, but the wave of hate hasn’t stopped them from using it to cheat on their exams

    College students are exhibiting a dual attitude towards AI, simultaneously booing commencement speakers who celebrate the technology while also widely using it for coursework and, in some cases, academic dishonesty. This phenomenon, described as cognitive dissonance, stems from a fear of falling behind peers if AI tools are not used, despite concerns about hindering critical thinking skills. In response to widespread cheating, institutions like Princeton and Stanford are reverting to proctored exams and traditional methods like blue books, as AI detection tools have proven unreliable.

    Mamba-3

    Together AI has released Mamba-3, a new state space model (SSM) prioritizing inference efficiency over training speed. This model features a more expressive recurrence formula, complex-valued state tracking, and a multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) variant that enhances accuracy without sacrificing decoding speed. Mamba-3 SISO has demonstrated superior performance in prefill and decode latency compared to previous Mamba versions and even the Llama-3.2-1B Transformer model at the 1.5B parameter scale. The team has also open-sourced the model's kernels, developed collaboratively with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Princeton University, and Cartesia AI. AI

    IMPACT Sets a new benchmark for inference efficiency in state space models, potentially influencing future LLM architectures and deployment strategies.
