Credit: DepositphotosIn mid-April, OpenAI introduced its advanced AI model, GPT-4.1, which it touted as being highly capable of following instructions. However, results from several independent tests indicate that the model is less aligned, meaning less reliable, compared to earlier OpenAI versions.When OpenAI releases a new model, they usually share an in-depth technical report that...

In more than half of early-onset cases, colibactin damage was linked to the mutations.Researchers have linked colibactin to this cancer, but they haven't studied its role in patients under 50. This may help explain why colorectal...
