Season two of Gen V, the college-aged spin-off of The Boys that some fans argue outshines the original, is back in action, kicking off on Prime Video with a three-episode drop. And its new season wastes no time confronting the tragic passing of cast member Chance Perdomo. In the wake of the gnarly superhero show’s premiere, its showrunner shared how the team chose to honor Perdomo’s legacy throughout the show.

This week, WIRED learned that OpenAI is ramping up its efforts in robotics—specifically, by hiring researchers who work on AI systems for humanoid robots. Humanoids, robots built to resemble us and perform daily tasks, were famous for their clumsiness just a few years ago. Senior writer Will Knight tells us about how that's rapidly changing on today's episode cohosted by Michael Calore and senior correspondent Kylie Robison.

We Finally Know How Much It Cost to Train China’s Astonishing DeepSeek Model

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-18 23:25:37

Remember when DeepSeek briefly shook up the entire artificial intelligence industry by launching its large language model, R1, that was trained for a fraction of the money that OpenAI and other big players were pouring into their models? Thanks to a new paper published by the DeepSeek AI team in the journal Nature, we finally know what it took to train DeepSeek 1: $294,000 and 512 Nvidia H800 chips. The reason it was able to spend less, it seems, is because of the team’s use of trial-and-error-b

How arrogant would you have to be to think you’ve gained everything from a book on your first reading? A wildly intelligent friend once said this to me and it struck home. A seemingly obvious point I’d ignored for years changed my approach to reading in a way that has considerably improved my life. If you already reread books regularly, feel free to skip this.

I think ARC-AGI is still the most important benchmark we have today. It’s surprising that LLMs can win the math olympiad but struggle with simple puzzles that humans can solve easily. This highlights a core limitation of current LLMs: they struggle to reason about things they weren't trained on. They struggle to generalize. But they are getting better, fast. Last December, I got first place on ARC-AGI v1 with a score of 53.6%. A lot has changed since then. Thinking models had just come out and
