Learn the differences, how agents work and where the risks are.</p><p><strong>The short answer:</strong> A chatbot responds to your messages. An AI agent is given a goal and then plans steps, calls tools such as search or code, checks results and keeps going until it finishes or needs help. Agents are more capable but also riskier, because they can take real actions.</p><p><a href="https://superintelligence-news.com/articles/ai-agents-vs-chatbots">Read the full article on Superintelligence News</a></p>Research & ModelsAI agentschatbotstool useautomationhttps://superintelligence-news.com/articles/how-large-language-models-workhttps://superintelligence-news.com/articles/how-large-language-models-workA clear walkthrough of how LLMs turn text into tokens, learn from data, and generate answers one token at a time, plus why they sometimes make things up.Tue, 13 Oct 2026 12:05:00 GMT<p>A clear walkthrough of how LLMs turn text into tokens, learn from data, and generate answers one token at a time, plus why they sometimes make things up.</p><p><strong>The short answer:</strong> A large language model is a neural network trained to predict the next piece of text. It splits text into tokens, learns statistical patterns from huge amounts of data, and then generates answers one token at a time. It can be fluent and wrong, because it predicts plausible text rather than looking up verified facts.</p><p><a href="https://superintelligence-news.com/articles/how-large-language-models-work">Read the full article on Superintelligence News</a></p>Research & ModelsLLMtransformerstokensmachine learninghttps://superintelligence-news.com/articles/what-is-superintelligencehttps://superintelligence-news.com/articles/what-is-superintelligenceWhat is superintelligence?

Learn how ASI differs from AI and AGI, its potential benefits and risks, and why its arrival remains uncertain.</p><p><strong>The short answer:</strong> Superintelligence is intelligence that would substantially exceed human experts across most intellectual tasks. Artificial superintelligence (ASI) remains a research goal rather than a broadly verified capability.</p><p><a href="https://superintelligence-news.com/articles/what-is-superintelligence">Read the full article on Superintelligence News</a></p>SuperintelligencesuperintelligenceAGIAI safetyASIAI alignment
