The AI industry has changed drastically in just a few years. Interestingly, though, the way we interact with AI hasn’t evolved as much as the technology itself.

But this process is fragile, since asking the same question two different ways can lead to completely different results, and a prompt that works well in one model version may fall apart in the next. However, IBM (IBM)…

Training the R1 reasoning model developed by Chinese AI company Deepseek cost just $294,000 and was carried out on 512 Nvidia H800 chips.

Tesla Full Self-Driving is amongst the most robust and refined semi-autonomous driver assistance systems on the market today. After three weeks of ownership, I’ve driven around half of my miles using it, and my impressions put me right in the middle of it being very impressive and needing some work. Of course, if it were perfect, it would be driving us all around all the time while we sleep, scroll our phones, or watch movies in the cockpit. It does a lot of things very well, and it has managed to impress everyone I’ve put in the passenger’s seat. However,…
