June 23, 1988 is when we launched Version 1.0 of Mathematica. Today—almost 38 years later—we’re launching Version 15 of what—in recognition of how far it’s expanded beyond “math”—we now call Wolfram Language. It’s an impressive release, with a lot of new core functionality. It might perhaps seem surprising that after 38 years there’d still be […]
LLMs don’t—and can’t—do everything. What they do is very impressive—and useful. It’s broad. And in many ways it’s human-like. But it’s not precise. And in the end it’s not about deep computation.
So how can we supplement LLM foundation models? We need a foundation tool: a tool that’s broad and general and does what LLMs themselves don’t: provides deep computation and precise knowledge.
And, conveniently enough, that’s exactly what I’ve been building for the past 40 years! My goal with Wolfram Language has always been to make everything we can about the world computable. To bring together in a coherent and unified way the algorithms, the methods and the data to do precise computation whenever it’s possible. It’s been a huge undertaking, but I think it’s fair to say it’s been a hugely successful one—that’s fueled countless discoveries and inventions (including my own) across a remarkable range of areas of science, technology and beyond.
Explore the contents of this article with a free Wolfram SystemModeler trial. Today I’m excited to be able to announce that our company is moving into yet another new area: large-scale system modeling. Last year, I wrote about our plans to initiate a new generation of large-scale system modeling. Now we are taking a major […]
(This is the third in a series of posts about A New Kind of Science. Previous posts have covered the original reaction to the book and what’s happened since it was published.) Today ten years have passed since A New Kind of Science (“the NKS book”) was published. But in many ways the development that […]
