AI Models Learn to Think for Themselves, Virtual Film Crews Take Over Hollywood, and Language Models Get Better at Math

Today's tech breakthroughs reveal how artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly autonomous and creative, from AI systems that can reason without human guidance to virtual film directors crafting entire movies. As these developments blur the line between human and machine capabilities, researchers are reporting breakthrough performance in mathematical reasoning and problem-solving that rivals human experts, raising both exciting possibilities and important questions about the future of human creativity and decision-making.
