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…

Learn More Interoperability among AI agents is slowly gaining traction as organizations begin to build networks of agents. In the past few months, at least two agentic interoperability standards have emerged: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) and AGNTCY, from a collective led by Cisco. As the importance of agents—especially those built on different frameworks and large-language models (LLMs)—talking to each other and getting a fuller picture of an enterprise’s data gains ground, another new protocol is vying for adoption. Today, Google is unveiling a new interoperability protocol called Agent2Agent, or…
ChatGPT became the world’s most downloaded app in March, excluding games, topping the usual contenders for the No. 1 spot, Instagram and TikTok. This is the first time the app has topped the monthly download charts and ChatGPT’s biggest month ever. According to new data, ChatGPT’s installs jumped 28% from February to March to reach 46 million new downloads during March, app intelligence provider Appfigures recently reported. That put the app slightly ahead of Instagram, which fell to the No. 2 position. TikTok followed at No. 3.

#llm #ai #chatgpt How does one run inference for a generative autoregressive language model that has been trained with a fixed context size? Streaming LLMs combine the performance of windowed attention, but avoid the drop in performance by using attention sinks – an interesting phenomenon where the token at position 0 acts as an absorber of “extra” attention.

New Turnitin Product Brings AI-Powered Tools to Students with Instructor Guardrails Academic integrity solution provider Turnitin has introduced Turnitin Clarity, a paid add-on for Turnitin Feedback Studio that provides a composition workspace for students with educator-guided AI assistance, AI-generated writing feedback, visibility into integrity insights, and more. Utilizing an institution’s existing Turnitin workflow, students can access writing assignments within Turnitin Clarity, including instructions, grading rubric, and expectations around the use of generative AI, and write and edit their submission over multiple sessions, the company explained in a news announcement. Instructors can enable the tool’s optional AI writing assistant feature to…
Earlier this week IBM announced the z17 mainframes powered by Tellum I processors. But months prior we’ve seen IBM patches for an “arch15” target for SystemZ within the open-source compilers that we expected was z17. IBM has now confirmed such and has begun updating the open-source compilers to acknowledge this z17 compiler support. With prior IBM SystemZ generations we’ve seen the same move of them publishing their open-source compiler support early and then post-launch go about actually acknowledging the product they are targeting. IBM also does this over on the POWER side too where they post “future” compiler patches and…
