Beyond A: Better Planning with Transformers
Summary: Researchers have developed Searchformer, a Transformer model that solves complex planning tasks more efficiently than traditional A search. The model optimally solves previously unseen Sokoban puzzles 93.7% of the time, using up to 26.8% fewer search steps. Searchformer is trained to predict A*'s search dynamics and fine-tuned via expert iterations, outperforming baselines with a smaller model size and training dataset. The model also scales to larger decision-making tasks, improving the percentage of solved tasks and shortening search dynamics.

Intel Processor Instability Causing Oodle Decompression Failures
Summary: Intel 13900K and 14900K processors are experiencing instability issues causing Oodle Data decompression failures and crashes in games built with Unreal. The problem is likely due to a combination of BIOS settings, high clock rates, and power usage, resulting in system instability under heavy load. The issue affects a small fraction of processors and can be resolved by using tuning utilities, modifying BIOS settings, or returning the processor to the manufacturer.
