large language models

Ollaya is a project being discussed on Hacker News, described as 'Ollama for open-source, Jev-style decision models'. The framing suggests a tool that makes decision-making models as easy to run locally as Ollama made large language models, though the single post title gives little detail. With 537 likes and a high rank, commenters appear interested in the analogy to Ollama, but the posts collected do not explain what the tool actually does or why it is generating attention.

A new study is probing whether artificial intelligence systems could experience pain, one of the hardest questions in debates over machine consciousness. The research feeds into a wider argument among scientists and ethicists about whether large language models have any form of subjective experience, and what that would mean for how such systems should be treated and regulated.

A project called Roboharm is asking whether frontier robot policies actually refuse unsafe instructions. The work examines how AI systems controlling robots respond to harmful commands, a safety question increasingly urgent as AI models are deployed in physical robotics. Discussion is focused on how well current safeguards carry over from language models to embodied systems.
