Anthropic

Anthropic, known for its Claude LLM and strong partnership with Amazon, is in talks to raise funds at a $60 billion valuation. Founded by former OpenAI members, Anthropic emphasizes safety and responsibility, contrasting with OpenAI's commercial focus with Microsoft. Despite being a competitor to ChatGPT, Anthropic appears to be lagging in technology development since the release of "ChatGPT o1." The significant funding discussions may reflect market expectations and a sense of urgency to catch up.

Anthropic Discusses $60B Valuation Funding

Anthropic, an AI start-up, is valued at $60 billion following a funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, according to anonymous sources speaking to Bloomberg. The anticipated investment of $2 billion is part of this new valuation. Previously, Anthropic was valued at approximately $18 billion during a 2024 funding round led by Menlo Ventures. The Wall Street Journal initially reported on this new funding round. Anthropic was unavailable for comment.

OpenAI has developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered agent that can use a web browser and do tasks, just like a human user. Called “Operator,” the AI agent is set to be released this week, according to The Information. Operator will provide users with suggested prompts, such as finding a flight from Los Angeles to New York that leaves in the morning. Operator will not complete these tasks autonomously; the user still needs to approve any transaction. Bloomberg first reported on Operator last November, noting a January release date. OpenAI’s move follows in the footsteps of its competitors

Questo creerà il task. Alcuni esempi potrebbero essere: “Fammi una sintesi delle notizie ogni settimana” o “Ricordami tra tre mesi che ho un appuntamento dal dentista alle 16”.Il task può anche suggerire attività in base alle conversazioni dell’utente, che può scegliere di accettare o meno

As expected, President Donal Trump this week signed an executive order rolling back former President Joe Biden’s 2023 artificial intelligence (AI) rules, which had been the country’s most comprehensive set of policies overseeing its advances. Biden ordered the federal government to scrutinize powerful AI models before they are released to the public, create chief AI officers at federal agencies and develop AI-related security guidelines to enhance cybersecurity, among other stipulations. However, Trump thus far has left Biden’s other AI-related orders unchanged. He did not revise Biden’s policy restricting exports of advanced AI chips — principally affecting Nvidia’s chips — to nations like China that could use them to beef up its own military’s technical prowess. In his last days in office, Biden expanded his chip export controls, essentially carving out the haves and have nots among more than 120 countries

Researchers at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) have announced the release of LlamaV-o1, a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence model capable of tackling some of the most complex reasoning tasks across text and images.By combining cutting-edge curriculum learning with advanced optimization techniques like Beam Search, LlamaV-o1 sets a new benchmark for step-by-step reasoning in multimodal AI systems.“Reasoning is a fundamental capability for solving complex multi-step problems, particularly in visual contexts where sequential step-wise understanding is essential,” the researchers wrote in their technical report, published today. Fine-tuned for reasoning tasks that require precision and transparency, the AI model outperforms many of its peers on tasks ranging from interpreting financial charts to diagnosing medical images.In tandem with the model, the team also introduced VRC-Bench, a benchmark designed to evaluate AI models on their ability to reason through problems in a step-by-step manner. With over 1,000 diverse samples and more than 4,000 reasoning steps, VRC-Bench is already being hailed as a game-changer in multimodal AI research.LlamaV-o1 outperforms competitors like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Gemini 1.5 Flash in identifying patterns and reasoning through complex visual tasks, as demonstrated in this example from the VRC-Bench benchmark. The model provides step-by-step explanations, arriving at the correct answer, while other models fail to match the established pattern
