- Scientists studied machine-learning models that perform multiplication tasks in experiments.
- Many small models could not produce correct final answers consistently.
- These models failed because they could not keep intermediate results.
- Researchers used a new training method to change this behavior.
- The new method helped models store and reuse running calculations.
- After training, some models gave correct answers on tests.
- The study shows training methods can change how models think.
- This finding can help improve AI in real decisions.

Certain infant formula fats linked to early liver fat
An animal study using newborn pigs found that formulas high in medium-chain fats from coconut oil led to faster liver fat accumulation than formulas with long-chain animal fats. Researchers say this finding is not a reason to stop using formula.
