Test-time scaling increases inference-time computation by allowing models to generate long reasoning chains, and has shown strong performance across many domains. However, in this work, we show that this approach is not yet effective for knowledge-intensive tasks, where high factual accuracy and low hallucination rates are essential. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of test-time scaling using 12 reasoning models on two knowledge-intensive benchmarks. Our results reveal that increasing test-time computation does not consistently improve accuracy and, in many cases, it even leads to more hallucinations. We then analyze how extended reasoning affects hallucination behavior. We find that reduced hallucinations often result from the model choosing to abstain after thinking more, rather than from improved factual recall. Conversely, for some models, longer reasoning encourages attempts on previously unanswered questions, many of which result in hallucinations. Case studies show that extended reasoning can induce confirmation bias, leading to overconfident hallucinations. Despite these limitations, we observe that compared to non-thinking, enabling thinking remains beneficial. Code and data are available at https://github.com/XuZhao0/tts-knowledge

Her turn as Aloy nabbed her another Golden Joystick Award for best performance in 2017 and solidified her as one of the signature voices of the PlayStation gaming empire. However, the sequel, "Horizon Forbidden West," presented it own array of challenges, as the covid-19 pandemic threw a wrench in Guerrilla's initial plan use motion capture stages. But Ashly was able to record many of her lines in her makeshift home studio in Los Angeles, and when actors were finally allowed back onto the stage with safety precautions, Ashly blew the team away with her professionalism, even helping her peers through the awkwardness and discomfort inherent in mocap acting.

The gameplay is traditional Borderlands. You level up by killing enemies with your weapons, and the stronger the enemy, the more experience you get. As you go through the cities and caves in the game, killing powerful enemies and finding specific chests grants you better loot. Where the mainline Borderlands games have shields, "Wonderlands" re-skins them into "wards" to fit the fantasy theme. Instead of class mods and buff items, you have magic armor and rings that increase your class skills and give you benefits like health regeneration and flat damage buffs.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3, finished its last day of presentations yesterday. For the first time in its 26 year history, E3 was an all-virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but that didn't stop the major game companies from delivering some (mostly) electrifying news. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was one of the games players caught a first glimse of at this year's E3. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was one of the games players caught a first glimse of at this year's E3. Starting with the Summer Games Fest's Kickoff Live event, audiences caught the first glimpse of developer Gearbox Software's Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, a genial sounding game that appears to anything but; the trailer opens with a dreadlocked warrior blasting a machine gun at a dragon shooting electricity.

Oh, right: Burch is also the voice of Chloe in the hit narrative adventure game Life is Strange. She also has roles in Borderlands 2, Mortal Kombat X, Team Fortress 2, Gravity Ghost and a handful of other mainstream and independent games. Before even that, Burch was a regular name in the gaming world with her online series, Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'?, which she still produces with her brother, Anthony Burch. They have more than 280,000 subscribers on YouTube alone. "The intention was not for it to be the thing that led to all the other things," Burch says.
