It makes sense to track Copilot use – those licenses aren't cheap – but benchmarking adoption may be seen by some as a step too far for something still struggling to prove its worth, especially with the risk of turning it into a leaderboard game.

Samsung AI researcher's new, open reasoning model TRM outperforms models 10,000X larger — on specific problems
Samsung AI researcher's new, open reasoning model TRM outperforms models 10,000X larger — on specific problems
New model out-reasons rivals 10,000x its size: The Tiny Recursion Model (TRM), developed by Samsung researcher Alexia Jolicoeur-Martineau, is a neural network with just 7M parameters that reportedly outperforms much larger models like GPT-4 on some complex reasoning tasks. By repeatedly refining its own predictions rather than relying on raw computational power, the breakthrough suggests that careful architecture design could potentially drive the next wave of AI innovation.
