DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence firm, has released its latest large language model, DeepSeek-V3, which surpasses Meta’s Llama 3.1 and OpenAI’s GPT-4o in benchmark tests. The model boasts 671 billion parameters and was trained over approximately 2.8 million GPU hours on a cluster of 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs at a cost of $5.58 million. Remarkably, DeepSeek-V3 requires significantly fewer resources than its competitors, offering a cost-effective solution in the AI landscape. The company has made DeepSeek-V3 open-source, enabling developers to fine-tune the model for various applications.

Gramazio Kohler Research at ETH Zurich is pioneering revolutionary projects like Autonomous Aerial Construction, where drones collaborate to build complex spatial structures—something traditional methods could never achieve. By combining robotics, digital design, and lightweight materials, this interdisciplinary approach challenges the limits of construction in unstructured environments. It’s fascinating to see how technology is transforming the relationship between design, materials, and fabrication, opening up new possibilities for the industry. #drone #ai

Frontier, the world’s fastest supercomputer, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by powering the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe ever conducted. This video highlights the formation of the largest structure in the Frontier-E simulation. On the left, you can see the broader context of the simulation, while the right side provides a detailed close-up of the structure itself. #ai #simulation

Elon Musk has filed a motion to block OpenAI from becoming a for-profit company. He accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations, claiming they discouraged investments in competing AI companies. Musk’s lawyers argue OpenAI may not have enough funds to pay damages if he wins. Musk initially sued OpenAI in March 2024, alleging it abandoned its nonprofit mission. The case was withdrawn in June but refiled in August, with Microsoft added as a defendant. Musk claims OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft has led to unfair practices that harm competitors. OpenAI claims Musk supported discussions about funding challenges and structural changes. However, a 2017 email from Musk shows his opposition to OpenAI moving away from its nonprofit mission. In the email, Musk stated he would stop funding OpenAI unless it committed to staying a nonprofit. #ai #openai #elonmusk

Ads are becoming a major topic as AR moves closer to mainstream use. AR glasses could eventually display ads tailored to individual preferences, even on real-world objects. This concept video explores what an ad blocker might look like, showing how technology could actually be used to improve daily life by managing and personalizing the content around us. #marketing #ai #ar

Major arms manufacturers are eager to build killer robots, completely disregarding Asimov's first law of robotics.

Currently, AI systems rely on limited memory, often confined to session-based interactions or external integrations for personalization. They lack the ability to handle ongoing, context-rich interactions, which limits their effectiveness in long-term engagement. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman predicts that by 2025, AI with “near-infinite” memory that “just doesn’t forget” will become a reality. He also reveals that Microsoft has prototypes with this capability already in development. Suleyman believes this development will mark a transformative shift, serving as an inflection point where AI begins to organize and enhance daily life in unprecedented ways. #ai
