Sketch Launches Smart Animate: Empowering UI Designers with Dynamic Interactions

Sketch once again surprises designers. With the launch of the Smart Animate feature, UI designers can finally easily inject lively animation effects into prototype designs, making interfaces more attractive and interactive. The core principle of Smart Animate is similar to the Magic Move feature in Keynote. It can automatically recognize layers with the same name across multiple artboards and create smooth transition animations between these layers. When designers adjust the size or position of a shape on different artboards...

Research Finds AI Voice Models Excel in Inductive Reasoning but Face Challenges in Deductive Tasks

Recently, researchers from UCLA and Amazon conducted an in-depth analysis of the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). They systematically differentiated between inductive and deductive reasoning for the first time, exploring the degree of challenge each poses to AI systems. Inductive reasoning refers to deriving general principles from specific observations, while deductive reasoning involves applying general rules to specific cases. The aim of the study is to understand which reasoning capability presents more challenges for large language models.
