The Dark Side of AI: How Cheap Tools Are Fueling Cyber Attacks

AI tools are changing the game for cybercriminals, making it easier than ever to launch sophisticated attacks. These tools, known as large language models (LLMs), can be fine-tuned to automate tasks like reconnaissance and identity impersonation, making social engineering attacks more effective. What's more, these weaponized LLMs are surprisingly affordable, with som...

Why Do AI Models Make Up Answers?

Large language models, or LLMs, often create false information. This is a big problem for users who expect accurate responses. Why do these models make up answers instead of admitting they don't know? New research is shedding light on this issue. LLMs are designed to predict what comes next in a sentence. This works well when the input is similar to what the model h...

Smart Thinking: How AI Models Save Tokens and Money

AI models that think step-by-step, called chain-of-thought (CoT) models, are becoming popular. They break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts before coming up with an answer. This process, however, can lead to high costs. The more thoughts a model generates, the more tokens it uses, and the higher the cost. This is where a new technique called length...
