OpenAI and rivals seek new path to smarter AI as current methods hit limitations

Artificial intelligence (ai) companies such as Openai are seeking to overcome unexpected delays and challenges in the pursuit of Ever-Bigger large language models by developing training techniques that use more Human-Like ways for Algorithms to "think". a dozen ai scientists, researchers, and investors believe these techniques could reshape the ai arms race and have implications for the types of resources that ai companies have an insatiable demand for, from energy to types of chips. after the release of the viral Chatgpt Chatbot two years ago, technology companies, whose valuations have benefited greatly from the ai boom, publicly argued that "Scaling" current models by adding more data and computing power would systematically lead to the improvement of ai models.

However, some of the most prominent scientists in the field of ai are speaking out about the limitations of this "bigger is better" philosophy.

Dr Ilya Sutskever, Co-Founder of ai LABS safe Superintelligence (SSI) and Openai ai LABS, recently told Reuters that the results of increasing Pre-Training – the phase of training an ai model that uses a vast amount of Unlabelled data to understand language patterns and structures – have Plateaued.

Robot dogs now guarding Donald Trump house after his US election win

US President-elect Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida has a robot dog patrolling the property following his recent election victory.

The high-tech "guard dog" has four metal legs and a range of advanced surveillance tools, all designed to ensure the safety of the President-elect and his team. made by the company Boston Dynamics, the robot dog is part of the secret service's effort to secure the President-elect without putting human guards in risky situations.

The secret service hasn't shared exactly what the robot can do, but they say it's loaded with technology to help protect the estate. inside Mar-A-Lago, Trump is busy planning his new administration after a close election against Kamala Harris. security at his estate is tight, especially after he faced two attempted attacks during the campaign.

Now, the robot dog provides extra protection and watches over the grounds day and night.

Robotic dogs are becoming more popular in the us for safety work. police and fire departments use similar Robotic dogs to handle dangerous situations. in New York, the police have their own "Digidog" robot dogs, which they send into risky areas instead of officers.

Last year, when a parking garage collapsed in New York, the fire Department sent in a robot dog to search for survivors in the rubble.

China's new energy vehicle (Nev) sector has sustained its sound growth momentum, according to data from the China Association of automobile manufacturers. In October, China's New-Energy vehicle (Nev) sales reached 1.43 million units, up 49.6% Year-On-Year, setting a new One-Month sales record. auto output increased 3.6% Year-On-Year to about 3 million units in October alone.

The data also showed that the country's new energy vehicle (Nev) sector sustained its sound growth momentum last month. in the first three quarters of this year, the province's automobile exports reached CNY 23Bn ($3.2Bn), up 22.3%, with the exports of electric vehicles surging 67% to CNY 5.2Bn.

Zhejiang province is striving to produce more than 1.2 million Nevs annually, or more than 60% of the province's total automobile production, by 2025, and its Nev output will account for about 10% of the country's total.

The volume of Nev production is rising driven by growing demand, with Zhejiang aiming to produce more than 1.2 million Nevs annually, or more than 60% of the province's total automobile production, by 2025, and its Nev output will account for about 10% of the country's total.
