Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek made waves across the global AI community Tuesday with the quiet release of its most ambitious model yet — a 685-billion parameter system that challenges the dominance of American AI giants while reshaping the competitive landscape through open-source accessibility.
The Hangzhou-based company, backed by High-Flyer Capital Management, uploaded…
The looming crisis of AI speed without guardrails
August 19, 2025
OpenAI’s GPT-5 has arrived, bringing faster performance, more dependable reasoning and stronger tool use. It joins Claude Opus 4.1 and other frontier models in signaling a rapidly advancing cognitive frontier. While artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains in the…
Enterprises seem to accept it as a basic fact: AI models require a significant amount of compute; they simply have to find ways to obtain more of it.
But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Sasha Luccioni, AI and climate lead at Hugging Face. What if there’s a…
This researcher turned OpenAI’s open weights model gpt-oss-20b into a non-reasoning ‘base’ model with less alignment, more freedom
August 18, 2025
OpenAI’s new, powerful open weights AI large language model (LLM) family gpt-oss was released less than two weeks ago under a permissive Apache 2.0 license — the company’s first open weights model launch since GPT-2 in 2019 — but developers outside the company are already reshaping it.
One of the most striking examples comes from Jack Morris, a Cornell Tech PhD student, former Google…
Google unveils ultra-small and efficient open source AI model Gemma 3 270M that can run on smartphones
August 15, 2025
Google’s DeepMind AI research team has unveiled a new open source AI model today, Gemma 3 270M.
As its name would suggest, this is a 270-million-parameter model — far smaller than the 70 billion or more parameters of many frontier LLMs (parameters being the number of…
Gartner: GPT-5 is here, but the infrastructure to support true agentic AI isn’t (yet)
August 15, 2025
Here’s an analogy: Freeways didn’t exist in the U.S. until after 1956, when envisioned by President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration — yet super fast, powerful cars like Porsche, BMW, Jaguars, Ferrari and others had been around for decades.
You could say AI is…
A comprehensive new study has revealed that open-source artificial intelligence models consume significantly more computing resources than their closed-source competitors when performing identical tasks, potentially undermining their cost advantages and reshaping how enterprises evaluate AI deployment strategies.
The research, conducted by AI firm Nous Research, found that open-weight models use…
OpenAI adds new ChatGPT third-party tool connectors to Dropbox, MS Teams as Altman clarifies GPT-5 prioritization
August 14, 2025
Today, many eyes are on OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman‘s ongoing public feud with Elon Musk on the latter’s social network, X.
But Altman’s recent statements regarding the ongoing rollout of his company’s latest and greatest large language model (LLM), GPT-5…
Physical AI, where robotics and foundation models come together, is fast becoming a growing space with companies like Nvidia, Google and Meta releasing research and experimenting in melding large language models (LLMs) with robots.
New research from the Allen Institute for…
Google adds limited chat personalization to Gemini, trails Anthropic and OpenAI in memory features
August 14, 2025
Google is playing catch-up against Anthropic and OpenAI as it slowly adds customization, personalization and gives users more control over what data to reference to its Gemini app.
Personalization and data control in chat platforms make it easier for both individual and enterprise users to converse with the chatbot and retain preferences. This is even more important for ongoing projects in the…
