Sakana AI super-powers AI reasoning using Japan’s own Sudoku Puzzles! Read more here → sakana.ai/sudoku-bench At @NVIDIAGTC, Llion Jones @YesThisIsLion announced the release of our new reasoning benchmark based on the modern variant Sudoku to challenge the AI community. We believe that these kinds of puzzles are perfect for measuring the progress in AI reasoning capabilities. We are proud to announce that we have partnered with the popular YouTube channel Cracking The Cryptic @crypticcracking to provide 100s of hours of high quality examples of human reasoning when solving Sudokus to train new reasoning systems. With this data we ask “Can we train AIs to think and solve puzzles in a human-like way?” We are also extremely thankful to Nikoli @nikoli_official, the famous Japanese puzzle company that gave Sudoku its name, for agreeing to supply us with beautiful hand made Sudoku’s to be added to the benchmark. The new benchmark, the training data and more technical details are available here → github.com/SakanaAI/Sudoku-B… Can you solve the Sakana AI Sudoku Puzzle? → sudokupad.app/wsj7iunsg6

What section will my i piece on Maki Kaji be in? News? Nope. Lifestyle (Distractions)? No. Features? No. Can’t be Sport, Politics or Money, so … aha, Culture (Gaming)? No, not there. Maybe they didn’t publish it 😞. I’ll just check Opinion … THERE it is! tinyurl.com/nuytkpys

My greatest lockdown achievement. My favourite Youtube channel is @crypticcracking (two British guys who solve very hard puzzles). Yesterday, they featured a puzzle I created: youtube.com/watch?v=_0YUlMPm… Made my pandemic.

A (slightly silly) poem I wrote, the letters of which can be rotated in a calculator to create a working mathematical equation. @Anthony_Etherin @crypticcracking

If you don't know how cryptic crossword clues work, I highly recommend Cracking the Cryptic (@crypticcracking ) on Instagram and YouTube, where they have great explanations/tutorials.
