Atombeam Inc., a startup developing a more efficient way of transmitting data, today announced that it has raised $20 million in funding. The investment was structured as a so-called Reg A+ round. This is a type of funding round in which capital is provided by members of the public rather than institutional investors. Atombeam says that the investment included more than 6,500 participants. Moraga, California-based Atombeam develops a data transmission technology it dubs Data-as-Codewords. The software promises to reduce the storage footprint of files by up to 75% and thereby boost the speed at which they can be sent over…
Image: seventyfourimages/Envato Elements The EU is pouring €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion) over the next two years to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies. The funding will support the development and testing of “immersive environments” to apply in healthcare for purposes like training and virtual patient assessments. The investment will also support the implementation of the AI Act, which ensures all AI systems developed and used in the EU are done so safely and responsibly. Additionally, it will help build energy-efficient digital public digital infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging ports. Many of the generative AI models powering these initiatives will…
We dig into the implications of China-based DeepSeek’s rapid ascent on the AI infrastructure landscape, the private sector, and enterprise AI strategies. China’s DeepSeek has upended assumptions about what it takes to develop powerful AI models. The AI company, which emerged from Liang Wenfeng’s hedge fund High-Flyer, released an open-source reasoning model (named R1) in January 2025 that rivals the performance of OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model. DeepSeek says it trained its base model with limited chips and about $5.6M in computing power — a fraction of the $100M+ US rivals have spent training similar models — thanks to some clever…
OpenAI says that it intends to release its first “open” language model since GPT‑2 “in the coming months.” That’s according to a feedback form the company published on its website Monday. The form, which OpenAI is inviting “developers, researchers, and [members of] the broader community” to fill out, includes questions like, “What would you like to see in an open-weight model from OpenAI?” and “What open models have you used in the past?” “We’re excited to collaborate with developers, researchers, and the broader community to gather inputs and make this model as useful as possible,” OpenAI wrote on its website.…
Google researchers achieve supposedly infinite context attention via compressive memory. Paper: Abstract: This work introduces an efficient method to scale Transformer-based Large Language Models (LLMs) to infinitely long inputs with bounded memory and computation. A key component in our proposed approach is a new attention technique dubbed Infini-attention. The Infini-attention incorporates a compressive memory into the vanilla attention mechanism and builds in both masked local attention and long-term linear attention mechanisms in a single Transformer block. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on long-context language modeling benchmarks, 1M sequence length passkey context block retrieval and 500K length book summarization…
