One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

The U.S. government is investigating if American semiconductor giant Nvidia (NVDA) may have helped China’s DeepSeek AI in creating powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chips. According to the New York Times, the U.S. House Select Committee on China initiated a probe to determine if Nvidia knowingly sold H20 AI chips to DeepSeek. The administration is also considering penalties to block DeepSeek from buying U.S. technology, while also wondering if it should ban Americans from using its models.Stay Ahead of the Market: Nvidia has got caught in the crosshairs of the intensified U.S.-China trade war. The company’s stock dropped another 7% yesterday,…

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE BABA) co-founder Jack Ma appeared at Alibaba Cloud’s campus in Hangzhou on Thursday to celebrate its 15th anniversary, SCMP reports. On Wednesday, Alibaba’s cloud unit showcased its Blossom project, which aims to accelerate AI adoption by providing its clients with infrastructure, AI models, data, and other services. The company upgraded global AI tools with Qwen-Max, a new reasoning model, and $1/year developer kits.

Tesla, and certainly its CEO, Elon Musk, both have a fan in Joe Rogan, but his recent comments about the company’s Full Self-Driving suite could potentially be the most notable yet. Rogan is a massive fan of Musk and has had him on his podcast more than five times. Perhaps some of the coolest Tesla details have been revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience, and it has resulted in the UFC commentator and podcaster purchasing several Teslas, including a completely decked-out Model S Plaid. However, Rogan recently gave his two cents on the Full Self-Driving suite, which is among the…

A high-profile legal case has unearthed a trove of internal Meta communications, and one particular document has caught the eye of some AI researchers.This reveals new insights into how models are built and could influence who gets to share in the spoils of this new technology.Buried in these court filings is a description of how Meta researchers used a process called ablation to identify which data helped improve the company’s Llama AI models.Ablation is a medical technique that purposely destroys tissue to improve things like brain function. In AI, it involves removing parts of a system to study how those…

Image: Anthropic Anthropic has introduced a new Research function in its Claude artificial intelligence model, enabling the system to autonomously perform multi-step investigations. Claude can deliver a well-reasoned response with verifiable citations in just minutes, aiming to strike a “balance of speed and quality.” The AI startup says Claude responds to prompts “agentically,” independently working out what information it needs to grab next to build the correct response. It “explores different angles of your question automatically and works through open questions systematically,” Anthropic said in its press release. The Research feature is currently in early beta and can be accessed…

Alphabet Inc.’s GOOG GOOGL Google’s DeepMind is diving into marine science with a new AI model designed to help researchers decode dolphin communication. What Happened: Earlier this week, Google DeepMind introduced DolphinGemma, an AI model trained to generate and interpret dolphin-like vocalizations. Built on Google’s open-source Gemma architecture, DolphinGemma was developed in collaboration with the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), a nonprofit that studies Atlantic spotted dolphins in their natural habitat. Using data collected from decades of dolphin field recordings, the model can produce sequences that mimic real dolphin sounds. See Also: Google Implements Layoffs In HR And Cloud Divisions As…

[Submitted on 19 Jan 2025 (v1), last revised 16 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled ChaosEater: Fully Automating Chaos Engineering with Large Language Models, by Daisuke Kikuta and 2 other authors View PDF Abstract:Chaos Engineering (CE) is an engineering technique aimed at improving the resiliency of distributed systems. It involves artificially injecting specific failures into a distributed system and observing its behavior in response. Based on the observation, the system can be proactively improved to handle those failures. Recent CE tools implement the automated execution of predefined CE experiments. However, defining these experiments and…
