An Australian startup, Springboards, is trying to change this with its new model, Flint, which is designed to provide more varied and innovative answers. This could be a game-changer for tasks that require brainstorming and planning. Why it matters: breaking the predictability of LLMs could unlock new possibilities for AI-driven creativity and innovation in various industries.
