Measure useful performance on real tasks, not only demonstrations selected because the model already does them well.
Models are moving quickly. Product judgment still has to keep up.
Research is where eFind is allowed to be uncertain on purpose.
The job is to turn a broad question into things we can test, measure, reject, improve and eventually—if the evidence is good enough—build into a product or infrastructure decision.
Curiosity needs a method.
The topics below describe areas of investigation, not guarantees about a future product.
Study where models can reliably help people understand, compare, create and plan.
Connect generated answers to current information and the evidence behind them.
Accuracy, calibration, safety, latency, cost and user trust all need testing.
Explore how models, hardware and infrastructure can deliver useful intelligence efficiently.
Measure useful performance on real tasks, not only demonstrations selected because the model already does them well.
Actively search for hallucinations, brittle reasoning, unsafe behavior and cases where the model sounds more certain than the evidence allows.
Connect answers to retrieval, sources and system behavior so failures can be investigated rather than described as “AI being AI.”
Turn evidence into a product decision. Sometimes the correct research result is that a feature is not ready, not useful or not worth its cost.
The models will keep changing. The durable capability is knowing how to evaluate them, connect them to evidence, use them efficiently and decide where intelligence genuinely improves a person’s experience.
Our AI research interests sit around retrieval, reasoning, tool use, multimodal interaction, evaluation, efficiency and the controls needed when intelligence touches personal context or the physical world.
A demo can be persuasive and still fail on ordinary use. We care about whether a system retrieves the right source, follows instructions, handles uncertainty and improves the task it was supposed to help with.
Models have training cutoffs. Search, news, weather and product data change. Reliable intelligence needs retrieval and tool use rather than confidence about information it does not actually have.
Smaller and more efficient models can move useful intelligence onto devices, reduce latency and lower infrastructure cost. Bigger is one dimension, not the strategy.
