We present Llama-GENBA-10B, a trilingual foundation model addressing English-centric bias in large language models. Built on Llama 3.1-8B and scaled to 10B parameters, Llama-GENBA-10B is continuously pretrained on 164B tokens (82B English, 82B German, and 80M Bavarian), balancing resources while preventing English dominance. Targeted at the German NLP community, the model also promotes Bavarian as a low-resource language. Development tackled four challenges: (1) curating a multilingual corpus despite Bavarian scarcity, (2) creating a unified tokenizer for English, German, and Bavarian, (3) optimizing architecture and language-ratio hyperparameters for cross-lingual transfer, and (4) establishing the first standardized trilingual evaluation suite by translating…

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.Credit: AI-generatedYou may have missed the AI movie Critterz when it appeared as a short animation a couple of years ago. It didn’t exactly set the world on fire, with comments on YouTube including “I’d call this garbage, but that’d be an insult to garbage” and “This was the worst 5 minutes I will never get back”.Nevertheless, it seems OpenAI, the maker of Chat GPT, saw potential in the ‘nature documentary turned comedy’. It’s putting its name behind the experimental short’s expansion into a…

A Shopify merchant’s detailed account of attempting to resolve a technical issue has sparked widespread discussion across the platform’s largest community forum, highlighting what appears to be a systematic breakdown in the company’s customer support infrastructure. The September 8, 2025 incident, documented by user np819 in the r/shopify subreddit with over 300,000 members, involved a 20-attempt effort to reach human support through multiple AI interfaces that repeatedly redirected users back to automated systems.According to the merchant’s account, the process began with a straightforward notification requiring an Authorize.net payment gateway update by September 19. “We got a notification in Shopify that…

Graph database maker Neo4j Inc. today launched Infinigraph, calling it a significant advancement in distributed graph technology. The company said the architecture allows users to run both operational and analytical workloads on a single graph database platform at over 100 terabytes in scale without fragmenting the graph, duplicating infrastructure or compromising performance. The product of more than two years of development, Infinigraph addresses the problem of harmonizing transactional systems and analytical workloads. Previous versions of Neo4j required running on a single physical computer, meaning that organizations had to use extract/transfer/load pipelines, synchronization, or multiple databases to handle high volumes. Infinigraph…

/* End custom CSS */ /* Start custom CSS for container, class: .elementor-element-b68979b */.leaky_paywall_message_wrap { background: none; }/* End custom CSS */]]>Google has rolled out major updates to its Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast video generation models, introducing lower prices, new configurations, and sharper resolution. The company said Veo 3 will now cost $0.40 per second, down from $0.75, while Veo 3 Fast drops to $0.15 per second from $0.40. Both models also support vertical 9:16 aspect ratio videos and 1080p HD output, making them better suited for mobile-first and social platforms. Veo 3 is being adopted widely across…

A new research paper from OpenAI asks why large language models like GPT-5 and chatbots like ChatGPT still hallucinate and whether anything can be done to reduce those hallucinations. In a blog post summarizing the paper, OpenAI defines hallucinations as “plausible but false statements generated by language models,” and it acknowledges that despite improvements, hallucinations “remain a fundamental challenge for all large language models” — one that will never be completely eliminated. To illustrate the point, researchers say that when they asked “a widely used chatbot” about the title of Adam Tauman Kalai’s PhD dissertation, they got three different answers,…
