gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-10-12 22:25:37

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

A Cooking Instructor Reveals 5 Foods You Should Never Put in a Nonstick Pan

Nonstick cookware serves a purpose in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be your go-to pan for every task. When used incorrectly, nonstick surfaces can ruin dishes by preventing proper browning and searing of meats and vegetables. Certain foods can also compromise the coating, reducing the pan's durability and potentially contaminating your meals with flaking nonstick material. As much as we love the easy cleanup, most foods fare better in a stainless-steel, carbon-steel, or cast-iron skillet. I tur

Clean hydrogen is facing a big reality check

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-10-14 06:00:00

Here are three things to know about the state of hydrogen in 2025. 1. Expectations for annual clean hydrogen production by 2030 are shrinking, for the first time. While hydrogen has the potential to serve as a clean fuel, today most is made with processes that use fossil fuels. As of 2025, about a million metric tons of low-emissions hydrogen are produced annually. That’s less than 1% of total hydrogen production. In last year’s Global Hydrogen Report, the IEA projected that global production
