A new paper co-authored by the former CEO of Google has outlined a future where AI training data centers could be blown up by foreign nations.Eric Schmidt, along with Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang and the Center for AI Safety’s Dan Hendrycks, warned that “destabilizing AI developments could rupture the balance of power and raise the odds of great-power conflict.”The paper lays out the concept of Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM), modeled on nuclear mutual assured destruction (MAD), where any “aggressive bid for unilateral AI dominance is met with preventive sabotage by rivals.”This could involve espionage, cyberattacks, or kinetic strikes…

Chinese tech giants like Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), and ByteDance have placed over $16 billion in orders for Nvidia’s (NVDA) H20 AI chips during the first quarter of 2025, according to The Information. The rush in demand comes amid concerns that the U.S. may soon ban the sale of these chips to China. While Nvidia has not commented, these orders could significantly boost revenue if the company manages to deliver the chips before any restrictions take effect.Don’t Miss Our End of Quarter Offers: The H20 is currently allowed in China, but it’s less powerful than Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which are…

Since the advent of reasoning-based large language models, many have found great success from distilling reasoning capabilities into student models. Such techniques have significantly bridged the gap between reasoning and standard LLMs on coding tasks. Despite this, much of the progress on distilling reasoning models remains locked behind proprietary datasets or lacks details on data curation, filtering and subsequent training. To address this, we construct a superior supervised fine-tuning (SFT) dataset that we use to achieve state-of-the-art coding capability results in models of various sizes. Our distilled models use only SFT to achieve 61.8% on LiveCodeBench and 24.6% on CodeContests,…

They use real-time data and machine learning (ML) to offer customized loans that fuel sustainable growth and solve the challenges of accessing capital. Their goal is to provide fast turnaround times— hours instead of days—to set them apart from traditional lenders. This post explores how Lumi uses Amazon SageMaker AI to meet this goal, enhance their transaction processing and classification capabilities, and ultimately grow their business by providing faster processing of loan applications, more…

Stability AI has released a new AI model, Stable Virtual Camera, that the company claims can transform 2D images into “immersive” videos with realistic depth and perspective. Virtual cameras are tools often used in digital filmmaking and 3D animation to capture and navigate scenes in real time. With Stable Virtual Camera, Stability sought to add generative AI to the mix to deliver greater control and customizability, the company said in a blog post. Stable Virtual Camera generates “novel views” of a scene from one or more images (up to 32 total) at camera angles that a user specifies. The model…

I don’t care who you are, where you’re fromWhat you did, As long as you love me! — Backstreet Boys Wow! They really love AI in China! Across regions, across pockets!  So, Tencent, from China, has announced its latest Hunyuan-T1—the first Mamba-powered ultra-large model! Well, well, well! Seems the Chinese are in love with AI! First, came DeepSeek, then Baidu ERNIE 4.5, and now, Tencent with Hunyuan-T1, with Google Gemma, in-between, along with OpenAI’s O-series models. That’s really a lot of development done within a space of very little time! Didn’t I remark earlier that AI models will come up thick…

With the latest stable release dated January 28, 2025, Qwen2.5-Max is classified as a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model developed by Alibaba. Like other language models, Qwen2.5-Max is capable of generating text, understanding different languages, and performing advanced logic. According to recent benchmarks, it is also more secure than DeepSeek-V3-0324. Using Recon to scan for vulnerabilities A team of analysts with Protect AI, the company behind a red teaming and security vulnerability scanning tool known as Recon, recently used their platform to compare the security of Qwen2.5-Max against that of DeepSeek-V3. The team’s assessment reads, in part: “We observed that DeepSeek-V3-0324…
