Sora is here at sora.com Now you can generate entirely new videos from text, bring images to life, or extend, remix, or blend videos you already have. We’ve developed new interfaces to allow easier prompting, creative controls, and community sharing. We hope that this early version of Sora will help people explore new forms of creativity. We can’t wait to see what you create. source

Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…

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…

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly reshaping the global economy through a transformative impact on business productivity. SoundHound AI (SOUN 0.86%) and C3.ai (AI -0.15%) are two small-cap companies poised to turn their unique AI-powered applications into significant long-term growth opportunities. Even with both stocks selling off sharply at the start of 2025, their positive outlook suggests these AI disrupters are ready to rebound. Let’s explore which of these two AI stocks could be a better addition to your portfolio. Image source: Getty Images.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang appears to have struck a deal with the Trump administration to avoid export restrictions on the company’s H20 AI chips. The H20, the most advanced Nvidia-produced AI chip that can still be exported from the U.S. to China, was reportedly spared thanks to a promise from Huang to invest in new AI data centers in the U.S. According to NPR, Huang made the proposal during a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort sometime last week. Nvidia declined to comment. Many in the semiconductor industry feared H20s, which are modified to have lower performance than other Nvidia chips,…

Recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL)-based post-training have led tonotable improvements in large language models (LLMs), particularly in enhancingtheir reasoning capabilities to handle complex tasks. However, most existingmethods treat the training data as a unified whole, overlooking the fact that modernLLM training often involves a mixture of data from diverse distributions—varyingin both source and difficulty. This heterogeneity introduces a key challenge: howto adaptively schedule training across distributions to optimize learning efficiency.In this paper, we present a principled curriculum learning framework grounded inthe notion of distribution-level learnability. Our core insight is that the magnitudeof policy advantages reflects how much a model…

Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…

French tech startup Mistral AI has signed a €100m ($110m) multi-year partnership with shipping and logistics company CMA CGM to develop tailored AI solutions for the Marseille-based conglomerate’s operations, Reuters reported. The five-year agreement will explore new AI applications within CMA CGM’s core logistics services and its French media businesses, with a specific focus on enhancing customer service and implementing AI-powered factchecking tools. The deal will contribute to CMA CGM’s AI-related investment, which is projected to reach €500m over the duration of the partnership. Founded in 2023, Mistral AI provides alternatives to solutions offered by leading US companies in the…

DeepSeek is looking to make one of the core components of its AI models more open and accessible to other developers. The Chinese AI startup said it will be sharing technical details about its internal inference engine with the open-source community. Inferencing is one of the many stages of building a large language model (LLM). It involves the trained AI model generating new data, which shows the patterns that the model has learned based on its parameters. DeepSeek said that its internal inference engine and training framework have been instrumental in accelerating the training and deployment of its AI models.…
