arXiv:2511.10788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have made reasoning a central benchmark for evaluating intelligence. While prior surveys focus on efficiency by examining how to shorten reasoning chains or reduce computation, this view overlooks a fundamental challenge: current LLMs apply uniform reasoning strategies regardless of task complexity, generating long traces for trivial problems while failing to extend reasoning for difficult tasks. This survey reframes reasoning through the lens of {adaptivity}: the capability to allocate reasoning effort based on input characteristics such as difficulty and uncertainty. We make three contributions. First, we formalize deductive, inductive,…

If you watched the most recent season of “Love Is Blind,” then you might have noticed a common theme—aside from the drama, of course. Almost every scene featured the unmistakable golden wine goblets. Whether it was in the pods or at a chaotic party, the metallic glasses made quite an impression. Why such opulent glasses? Fans speculated on Reddit that using opaque drinkware makes editing easier, since viewers won’t be able to tell when clips are stitched together. Others chalk it up to branding. Either way, the cups are now synonymous with the popular reality show. If you want to…

Every few years, SEO gets a shiny new acronym. Voice search. AMP. E-A-T. Each promised to rewrite the rules, and each eventually found its way into the same corporate graveyard of experiments and half-baked roadmaps. I know, because I bought in. For a year and a half, I buried myself in schema markup—building page-level knowledge graphs, connecting entities, mapping relationships until entire sites resembled semantic webs. It was meticulous, elegant, even beautiful in its own way. And it delivered nothing. Not because technical work doesn’t matter—SEO is inherently technical. The issue in enterprise is that Google is a black box.…

are racing to use LLMs, but often for tasks they aren’t well-suited to. In fact, according to recent research by MIT, 95% of GenAI pilots fail — they’re getting zero return.  An area that has been overlooked in the GenAI storm is that of structured data, not only from an adoption standpoint, but also from a technological front. In reality, there is a goldmine of potential value that can be extracted from structured data, particularly in the form of predictions.  In this piece, I will go over what LLMs can and can’t do, what value you can get from AI…

Spreadsheet automation is the process of using technology to complete workflows that manage data stored in spreadsheets—without doing any manual work. The first spreadsheet tool ever invented was such a compelling idea to the public that people often bought the computers it came installed on just to try it out. (And that was 1979, so computers weren’t exactly a widespread thing.) Your database—automatedStore, edit, share, and automate data all in one tool.Whether you hate them or love them, spreadsheets remain a cornerstone for most business operations. But manually moving information from your other apps to your spreadsheets doesn’t allow you to…

You don’t need to pay to have something read out loud to you. The free tier of ChatGPT can read any text aloud in an impressively natural way. You can do it on your phone or desktop, and you’re not limited to how long the text can be. I wondered if ChatGPT’s voice mode could read books to me I recently received a trial offer for Audible and spent three months trying out the app. Ultimately, I decided that audiobooks weren’t for me, with one of the major issues being the price. Once my offer was over, I would have…
