The Qwen team from Alibaba have just released a new version of their open-source reasoning AI model with some impressive benchmarks.Meet Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507. Over the past three months, the Qwen team has been hard at work scaling up what they call the “thinking capability” of their AI, aiming to improve both the quality and depth of its reasoning.The result of their efforts is a model that excels at the really tough stuff: logical reasoning, complex maths, science problems, and advanced coding. In these areas that typically require a human expert, this new Qwen model is now setting the standard for open-source…
Home » AIRLINE NEWS » American Airlines Refuses to Exploit Consumers, AI Will Transform Service, Not Skew Fares: You Need to Know Friday, July 25, 2025American Airlines flies against the winds of AI price optimization while looking to improve service and operations. Using AI The airline, which is also using the Hub Efficiency Analytics Tool (HEAT), aspires to simplify, and enhance the customer experience when dealing with service disruptions. With a focus on transparency and customer confidence, American Airlines is enabling AI to never be used to trap travelers, but to make smooth, reliable service possible. Here’s why their rise…
NVIDIA will resume selling its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, following a sharp policy reversal from the Trump administration. The decision, announced this week, caps months of regulatory whiplash that included a short-lived ban on the chips in April. CEO Jensen Huang recently met with officials in both Washington and Beijing to promote AI’s benefits worldwide. The U.S. government’s change of course comes after high-level lobbying and a major U.S. investment pledge from the chipmaker. The reversal the delicate balance between American national security concerns and the powerful economic forces shaping the global tech race, a dynamic that directly…
Large reasoning models achieve remarkable performance through extensive chain-of-thought generation, yet exhibit significant computational inefficiency by applying uniform reasoning strategies regardless of problem complexity. We present Hierarchical Budget Policy Optimization (HBPO), a reinforcement learning framework that enables models to learn problem-specific reasoning depths without sacrificing capability. HBPO addresses the fundamental challenge of exploration space collapse in efficiency-oriented training, where penalties on long output length systematically bias models away from necessary long reasoning paths. Through hierarchical budget exploration, our approach partitions rollout samples into multiple subgroups with distinct token budgets, aiming to enable efficient resource allocation while preventing degradation of capability.…
Tesla has warned customers about its incentive strategy for qualifying electric vehicles, as the days of both the $7,500 EV tax credit for new EVs and the $4,000 credit for used EVs are coming to a close. Both tax credits, which impact some of the vehicles in the Tesla lineup, are set to be eliminated at the end of Q3. The phase out of these consumer credits was always in the plans of the Trump Administration, but now we’re in the final quarter of their existence. As a result, EV companies are scrambling to see how they can reduce costs…
A hand triumphantly holds a gold medal aloft against a backdrop of clear blue sky. Image: Envato By mohdizzuanbinroslan Google DeepMind’s latest Gemini Deep Think artificial intelligence model has achieved gold-medal level performance in the International Mathematical Olympiad. The IMO is known as the most prestigious and challenging mathematics competition for high school students in the world. Only about 10% of this year’s competitors received gold medals, and numerous recipients of the Fields Medal, the highest honour in mathematics, have won it in the past. Various AI companies tried out the IMO 2025 questions on their models, hoping to get…
getty LegalOn Technologies, a Tokyo and San Francisco-based startup that uses AI to speed up contract reviews, has raised $50 million in a funding round led by the growth equity team at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The Series E round also attracted participation from U.S. and Japan-based venture capital firm World Innovation Lab and Japanese law firm Mori Hamada & Matsumoto, as well as Mizuho Bank and Shoko Chukin Bank, LegalOn said in a statement on Thursday. The round brought the startup’s total funding raised to $200 million, according to LegalOn. LegalOn was founded in Japan in 2017 by former Mori…
Commercial contextTelecom call centers are under strain from rising volumes of routine customer calls such as billing inquiries, service faults, and upgrade requests. These low-complexity issues account for a large share of interactions. They still, however, require human handling due to the limits of legacy systems.Alternatives, such as traditional chatbots and scripted flows don’t support multi-turn dialogue or access to real-time customer data. As a result, contact centers face growing backlogs, inconsistent resolution quality, and high support costs.CSPs need to find a solution that reduces cost-to-serve while also protecting customer data. Most genAI tools are cloud-based and resource-heavy, which raises…
This is a monthly column that runs down five interesting startup funding deals every month that may have flown under the radar. Check out our June entry here. A host of funded startups caught our attention this month, ranging from a flu vaccine developer to a startup identifying AI deepfakes to another mapping underground utilities. Let’s take a closer look. Startup eyes $96M Series B to help see underground Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. In fact, when it comes to things like underground utility lines or pipes, knowing they exist before you start excavating…
Category Artificial Intelligence Date July 25, 2025 Picture walking into your office tomorrow morning and finding that overnight, your customer service backlog disappeared, inventory got optimized perfectly, and three new market opportunities were identified and analyzed. That’s how AI Agents work! This scenario plays out daily at companies deploying AI agents, with Gartner’s latest research showing that these will autonomously take care of almost 80% of customer service issues commonly existing in the industry, that too, without any human intervention. The numbers tell a compelling story about transformation happening right now. Yet despite this momentum, confusion persists about ‘What are…
