- AI research org Humans& introduced Ampersand Tutor (&Tutor): they first trained a model to learn like people, then trained &Tutor to teach it.
- &Tutor performed best on a widely-used tutor model eval, showing how better models of people can help build human-centric AI. Available via API.
- Research lead Geza Gharik says the goal is tutors that work with a learner to understand a subject rather than just answering homework — a counter to 'cognitive surrender' concerns, helping people get better even as they use assistance.
