As the trade war between the United States and China continues to escalate, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a notable deceleration in its previously robust rally. This week has been marked by increased volatility, with Bitcoin, the leading digital asset, oscillating around significant price thresholds. On global exchanges, Bitcoin’s price fell by nearly 1% to
Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve rapidly, with researchers striving for models that not only perform statistically well but also mimic human-like reasoning. Recently, a collaborative research effort from Stanford University and Washington University has emerged, unveiling an open-source AI model that boasts performance metrics comparable to OpenAI’s renowned o1 model. This development is remarkable not
The emergence of the OpenEuroLLM Project marks a significant milestone in Europe’s efforts to establish a robust framework for developing open-source artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Announced on Monday, this initiative has garnered the backing of the European Commission and received the prestigious Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) Seal, underscoring its importance within the regional
The concept of self-awareness is pivotal not just in the understanding of human cognition but also in the study of various animal species. Research into self-recognition, notably through the mirror test, has highlighted a significant aspect of consciousness in animals. Traditionally, self-awareness is gauged through an animal’s ability to recognize its reflection as itself rather
Recent investigations led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania, including researchers Joshua Kim and Mathew Madhavacheril, shed light on an evolving understanding of cosmic structures. This research, which draws on data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), suggests a more intricate narrative regarding the universe’s development
Apple’s recent decision to halt the development of its anticipated augmented reality (AR) smart glasses marks a considerable pivot in its technology strategy. Originally designed to complement the already launched Apple Vision Pro—its first foray into mixed reality—these glasses were set to pioneer Apple’s venture into the next wave of wearable technology. However, according to
As Intel navigates through an evolving tech landscape, the struggles of the iconic semiconductor manufacturer have become increasingly apparent. The company recently reported its earnings for the December quarter, revealing that its performance, although better than some had predicted, has raised more questions than answers. This article breaks down Intel’s current situation, its challenges, and
Samsung continues to be at the forefront of mobile technology with the announcement of its One UI 7 operating system during the highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event. This latest iteration of Samsung’s user interface not only focuses on aesthetic enhancements but also emphasizes the integration of artificial intelligence to improve user experience. Among the
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to fierce competition among tech companies, particularly between U.S. firms like OpenAI and emerging players from China such as DeepSeek. Recently, tensions escalated when OpenAI claimed evidence indicating that DeepSeek may have leveraged its own AI models to construct a new competitor—namely, the R1 model. This
