Which AI better helps pharmacists-in-training? Researchers tested DeepSeek-R1 and ChatGPT-4o on 2,306 real, text-only questions (2017–2021) from China’s pharmacist licensure exam, scoring exact-answer accuracy in Chinese.

DeepSeek-R1: 90.0% accuracy vs. ChatGPT-4o: 76.1% (p<0.001)
Advantages held across units, especially foundational and clinical synthesis
Year-by-year multiple-choice trends favored DeepSeek, but unit-year gaps weren’t statistically significant
Methods: Pearson’s Chi-squared for overall; Fisher’s exact for yearly unit checks

Takeaway: Domain-focused models can outperform general chatbots on high-stakes, specialized exams—useful for study aids and formative feedback. Still, AI should complement—not replace—licensed experts and oversight in clinical, legal, and ethical decisions.

Beyond URLs: Metadata That Makes LLMs Train Faster

Smarter LLMs, Faster—thanks to metadata What if training a large language model didn't just rely on text, but on the context around it? This study shows that adding fine-grained metadata—not just URLs—can meaningfully speed up pretraining and improve quality. * Beyond URLs: detailed quality signals (e.

Escaping the Verifier: Learning to Reason via Demonstrations

LLMs can learn to reason—without task verifiers Many real-world problems don’t have automatic checkers to grade answers, even though we have lots of expert solutions. RARO (Relativistic Adversarial Reasoning Optimization) shows how to train reasoning skills from those examples alone. How it works: * A policy (the model) tries

VacuumVLA: A Two-in-One Robot Hand That Grips and Suctions

Robots guided by Vision-Language-Action (VLA) AI are getting better at everyday tasks—but most still use simple two-finger grippers. That limits them on smooth, flat, or handleless objects. VacuumVLA is a low-cost robot hand that merges a standard two-finger gripper with a vacuum suction cup. The robot can switch between
