Anthropic will roll out its Claude artificial intelligence application to U.S. government agencies under a partnership with Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials), the companies announced. Claude for Enterprise will be made available through Palantir’s FedStart program, allowing federal agencies to access the AI tool under Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 security standards. The deployment is expected in the coming months. FedStart helps companies meet government compliance standards quickly by running products within Palantir’s accredited environment. Anthropic said the partnership will allow federal workers to use Claude for writing, data analysis and complex…

“We’ve been really pushing on ‘thinking,’” says Jack Rae, a principal research scientist at DeepMind. Such models, which are built to work through problems logically and spend more time arriving at an answer, rose to prominence earlier this year with the launch of the DeepSeek R1 model. They’re attractive to AI companies because they can make an existing model better by training it to approach a problem pragmatically. That way, the companies can avoid having to build a new model from scratch.  When the AI model dedicates more time (and energy) to a query, it costs more to run. Leaderboards…

Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash.Some methods exist for ensuring LLMs conform to the rules of whatever language they are generating text in, but many of these methods either distort the model’s intended meaning or are too time-consuming to be feasible for complex tasks.A new approach developed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere automatically guides an LLM to generate text that adheres to the rules of the relevant…

With dairy heifer replacement values at historic highs due to tight inventory, keeping high-producing dairy cows in a herd, especially those beyond their first lactation, is economically significant.Senior Sales and Marketing Manager / Simplot Animal SciencesThis is important for two reasons – not only must farms cover higher replacement costs, but total milk volume is also affected when older cows leave the herd. That is because first-lactation animals produce 80%-85% of the milk that a cow in its third or greater lactation can produce.To overcome these challenges, some dairies are turning to beef embryo transfer (ET) to keep productive cows…

Researchers from Stanford University early today published the latest edition of their annual AI Index Report, detailing the growing influence of artificial intelligence technologies on our society and the global economy. The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, known as Stanford HAI, has been publishing its annual reports on the state of the AI industry since 2017. This year’s edition, the eighth, is the “most comprehensive” report to date, spanning more than 430 pages. The authors say it’s arriving at a critical juncture as the influence of AI across society rapidly accelerates with the emergence of increasingly capable and sophisticated…

The “Z” stands for zero downtime, according to IBM Z Chief Product Officer Tina Tarquinio.The z17 model was unveiled during a launch event for IBM Z clients…

An MIT student has sued the federal government over its abrupt termination of her international student record in a federal database managed by the Department of Homeland Security.The student, an MIT senior set to graduate in May, learned her record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS, was abruptly deleted in early April, putting her at risk of detainment by immigration enforcement agents.Several dozen international students in Massachusetts, and over a thousand nationwide, had their visas revoked and SEVIS records expunged by the federal government in recent days. The reason behind the moves remain unclear, and federal…

AsianFin — The global venture capital (VC) transaction volumes plunged in the first quarter of 2025, according to global research institutions Crunchbase and PitchBook-NVCA.Despite a decline in overall deal volume, artificial intelligence (AI) investments have experienced the most robust quarter in the first quarter of 2025 since mid-2022.Global VC transactions in Q1 2025 reached 7,551 deals, a 32% year-over-year decline, as per PitchBook. However, the total transaction value surged to $126.3 billion, representing a 53.46% increase compared to the same period in 2024.AI and machine learning led the charge, with 2,101 transactions worth $73.1 billion, making up 57.87% of the…
