Image: NVIDIA NVIDIA kicked off the Data Center World 2025 event this week in Washington, D.C., with a bold vision for the future of AI infrastructure. In his keynote, Wade Vinson, NVIDIA’s chief data center engineer, introduced the concept of AI-scale data centers; these massive, energy-efficient facilities would meet the soaring demand of accelerated computing. NVIDIA envisions sprawling “AI factories” powered by Blackwell GPUs and DGX SuperPODs, supported by advanced cooling and power systems by Vertiv and Schneider Electric. “There is no doubt that AI factories are a major trend in the data center world,” said Vinson. Completing phase one…

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and WhatsApp, is stepping up its efforts to transform citizen service delivery in India by partnering with State governments through its AI model Llama and the widely used WhatsApp messaging platform. Sandhya Devanathan, Meta’s India head, disclosed the plan, highlighting the company’s aim to make government services more accessible, integrated, and efficient through digital tools, as per a Moneycontrol report. Since January 2025, Meta has been working with the State government of Andhra Pradesh to streamline citizen interactions through a WhatsApp-based chatbot. This bot functions as a single-window access point for a wide range…

Anthropic has pushed its Claude AI chatbot into the library with a new Research feature reminiscent of the Deep Research tools offered by both ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Though Claude has stood out for its conversational and reasoning abilities, a full, long-form research report is a different beast.Claude’s Research feature works by processing a prompt multiple times to expand its results. It can pull from the Internet and any linked internal documents. Then, once the data has been collected and curated, the final report is completed, and citations are added to the user’s answer.But with all three now offering some…

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…

arXiv:2504.10893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities and are receiving increasing attention to enhance their reasoning through scaling test–time compute. However, their application in open–ended, knowledge–intensive, complex reasoning scenarios is still limited. Reasoning–oriented methods struggle to generalize to open–ended scenarios due to implicit assumptions of complete world knowledge. Meanwhile, knowledge–augmented reasoning (KAR) methods fail to address two core challenges: 1) error propagation, where errors in early steps cascade through the chain, and 2) verification bottleneck, where the explore–exploit tradeoff arises in multi–branch decision processes. To overcome these limitations, we introduce ARise, a novel framework…

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…

A techie took to Reddit to share his “horrible” interview experience with IBM Bengaluru. He claimed that a recruiter reached out to him for a mid-senior Application Developer role and assured him that his salary expectations would be considered. The candidate, currently earning a CTC of Rs 16 LPA, said he had clearly stated a minimum expectation of Rs 24 LPA. The recruiter, according to him, mentioned that the company’s budget was up to Rs 22 LPA, but if he performed well in the interviews, he could be offered Rs 23 LPA along with a Rs 1.4 lakh joining bonus.…

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…

Security researchers and developers are raising alarms over “slopsquatting,” a new form of supply chain attack that leverages AI-generated misinformation commonly known as hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on coding tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek, attackers are exploiting AI’s tendency to invent software packages, tricking users into downloading malicious content. What is slopsquatting? The term slopsquatting was originally coined by Seth Larson, a developer with the Python Software Foundation, and later popularized by tech security researcher Andrew Nesbitt. It refers to cases where attackers register software packages that don’t actually exist but are mistakenly suggested by AI tools;…

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…
