Over $1 million in prize funding will be available for tech-enabled solutions to the 2024 Global Challenges.

MIT scientists captured images of heat moving through a superfluid, a phenomenon that “may explain how heat moves through certain rare materials on Earth and deep in space.” The findings could be used “to determine heat flow in high-temperature superconductors, or even in neutron stars, the roiling, ultra-dense relics of ordinary stars.” 

MIT researchers developed a technique “that could allow most large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to retain memory and boost performance.” The process, called StreamingLLM, “allows for chatbots to perform optimally even after a conversation goes on for more than 4 million words.”
