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

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

I Watched Every Jimmy Kimmel Monologue Since Charlie Kirk Was Killed and All I Got Was This Sinking Feeling

Jimmy Kimmel became the latest casualty in President Donald Trump’s war on the media on Wednesday when news broke that ABC would be putting the comedian’s late night show on hold indefinitely. And if you’re trying to figure out what Kimmel said that was so offensive, you’re not alone. I watched every monologue that Kimmel has delivered on his ABC show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, since Charlie Kirk was murdered in Utah on Sept. 10.

Mysterious Object From Beyond Solar System May Be "Seed" Traveling Galaxy and Creating New Planets, Paper Finds

Astronomers have been fascinated after spotting an object earlier this year that came from interstellar space as is now hurtling through our inner solar system. Since then, they've been using powerful telescopes to study the mysterious object, trying to understand its unusual composition and exact origins. Most agree that it's probably a comet, albeit an unusual one, though at least one has posited that it could be a remnant of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization — a colorful claim, but o

Satya Nadella is haunted at the prospect of Microsoft not surviving the AI era

“Some of the biggest businesses we’ve built might not be as relevant going forward,” admitted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella during an employee-only town hall last week. Nadella was responding to a question about the perceived change in culture inside Microsoft, but his answer revealed a lot more about his own fears over Microsoft’s future in this AI era. “Our industry is full of case studies of companies that were great once, that just disappeared. I’m haunted by one particular one called DEC,” s

Flick Shot Rogues is the rare turn-based game that my brain is gelling with

Try as I might, turn-based strategy games don't usually do it for me. That's one reason I haven't yet dipped into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, many people's favorite of the year so far. I'd almost always rather be playing a more action-based game. But after trying the demo for Flick Shot Rogues on a whim during the most recent Steam Next Fest, the game hasn't been far from my thoughts. The debut title from Butter By The Fish, a three-person studio in Germany, arrived on Steam this week. Despite

Scientists Just Found South America’s First Amber-Preserved Insects—and They’re Stunning

NASA Mission to Map Sun’s Protective Bubble Could Help Better Predict Dangerous Space Weather

The Sun is an energetic star, constantly radiating energy and pumping streams of charged particles out into space. And while this solar wind can be dangerous in itself, without it, Earth and all the other members of our planetary system would be at constant risk of threats from outer space. Our host star creates a protective bubble called the heliosphere that extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune, shielding the planets from the interstellar medium. Yet though we may owe our existence to this b

CEO of DeepMind Points Out the Obvious: OpenAI Is Lying About Having "PhD Level" AI

British researcher and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, a luminary of AI research who won a Nobel prize last year, is throwing cold water on his peers' claim that AI has achieved "PhD-level" intelligence. During a recent appearance at a summit put on by the "All-In" podcast, Hassabis was asked about what was holding us back from reaching artificial general intelligence (AGI), the hypothetical point at which an AI matches or surpasses human-level intelligence. Hassabis said that current AI "
