The image depicts a female warrior in a dynamic battle scene. She is clad in ornate, golden armor with blue accents, including a blue cape that flows behind her. Her armor is detailed, featuring shoulder guards, gauntlets, and a breastplate, with a chainmail skirt visible beneath. She wields a sword with both hands, poised in a ready stance. Her hair is styled in a braid, secured with a headband, and she wears a blue garment underneath her armor. The background is filled with other warriors and arrows, suggesting a chaotic battlefield. The color palette is dominated by warm tones, with reds and oranges, enhancing the sense of action and urgency. The logo "Gwent: The Witcher Card Game" is visible in the bottom right corner, indicating the image's connection to the game.

Could there possibly be a worse, less mnemonic nomenclature for these models?

Or a clearer sign that they are just trying stuff to see what sticks?

"Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet company, had spent months trying to secure regulatory approval to sell internet access in the impoverished West African country. As head of Gambia’s communications ministry, Lamin Jabbi oversees the government’s review of Starlink’s license application. Jabbi had been slow to sign off and the company had grown impatient. Now the top U.S. government official in Gambia was in Jabbi’s office to intervene.

Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency loomed over the conversation. The administration had already begun freezing foreign aid projects, and early in the meeting, Cromer, a Biden appointee, said something that rattled Gambian officials in the room. She listed the ways that the U.S. was supporting the country, according to two people present and contemporaneous notes, noting that key initiatives — like one that funds a $25 million project to improve the electrical system — were currently under review.

Jabbi’s top deputy, Hassan Jallow, told ProPublica he saw Cromer’s message as a veiled threat: If Starlink doesn’t get its license, the U.S. could cut off the desperately needed funds. “The implication was that they were connected,” Jallow said."

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangslandschaft. Der Himmel ist in sanften Farben von Blau zu Orange und Gelb übergegangen, wobei die Sonne am Horizont als leuchtender Kreis zu sehen ist. Die Wolken sind spärlich verteilt und reflektieren die warmen Farben des Sonnenuntergangs, was dem Bild eine malerische Atmosphäre verleiht. Im Vordergrund sind die Silhouetten von Bäumen und Hügeln zu erkennen, die sich gegen den Himmel abzeichnen. Die Landschaft wirkt ruhig und friedlich, und die Farben des Himmels erzeugen eine beruhigende Stimmung.

“It was a deal,” said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas political bureau who has previously engaged in direct talks with U.S. officials. He said the pledge was made by “Witkoff, himself.”...“If we release [Alexander], Trump will speak out thanking Hamas for its gesture, obliging Israel on the second day to open the borders and allow aid to come into Gaza, and [Trump would] call for an immediate ceasefire and to go for negotiations to end the war.”

Avevamo tempo, eh?
L’industria europea era solida, eh?
Il know-how non si copia, eh?
Le auto cinesi erano giocattoli, eh?

Belle favole.
Intanto là fuori il mondo è cambiato.
E mentre noi ci raccontavamo la storia della rana nella pentola, loro ci hanno acceso il fuoco sotto.
Oggi l’elettrico non è più una sfida.

È una resa dei conti.
E non è andata come ci aspettavamo.

"Meta is delaying the rollout of a flagship AI model, prompting internal concerns about the direction of its multibillion-dollar AI investments, people familiar with the matter said.

Company engineers are struggling to significantly improve the capabilities of its “Behemoth” large-language model, leading to staff questions about whether improvements over prior versions are significant enough to justify public release, the people said.

Early in its development, Behemoth was internally slated for an April release to coincide with Meta’s inaugural AI conference for developers. Meta put out two smaller models in its Llama AI model family ahead of the event, but later pushed an internal target for the larger Behemoth’s release to June. Now, it’s been delayed to fall or later.

Meta has previously drawn praise for the speed with which it’s caught up to rivals in the global AI arms race—spending billions of dollars along the way to develop the technology that powers chatbots on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Meta plans to spend up to $72 billion in capital expenditures this year, much of which will be used to help realize Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg’s grand ambitions for AI.

Zuckerberg and other Meta executives haven’t publicly committed to a timeline for Behemoth. The company could ultimately decide to release Behemoth sooner than expected, including by rolling out a more limited version. But Meta engineers and researchers are concerned its performance wouldn’t match public statements about its capabilities, the people said."
