Meta Platforms plans to release the latest version of its large language model later this month, after delaying it at least twice, the Information reported on Friday, as the Facebook owner scrambles to lead in the AI race.Meta, however, could push back the release of Llama 4 again, the report said, citing two people familiar with the matter.Big technology firms have been investing aggressively in AI infrastructure following the success of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which altered the tech landscape and drove investment into machine learning.The report said one of the reasons for the delay is during development, Llama 4 did not meet Meta's expectations on technical benchmarks, particularly in reasoning and math tasks.The company was also concerned that Llama 4 was less capable than OpenAI's models in conducting humanlike voice conversations, the report added.Meta plans to spend as much as $65 billion (roughly Rs. 5,39,000 crore) this year to expand its AI infrastructure, amid investor pressure on big tech firms to show returns on their investments.Additionally, the rise of the popular, lower-cost model from Chinese tech firm DeepSeek challenges the belief that developing the best AI model requires billions of dollars.The report said Llama 4 is expected to borrow certain technical aspects from DeepSeek, with at least one version slated to employ a machine-learning technique called mixture of experts method, which trains separate parts of models for specific tasks, making them experts in those areas.Meta has also considered releasing Llama 4 through Meta AI first and then as open-source software later, the report said.Last year, Meta released its mostly free Llama 3 AI model, which can converse in eight languages, write higher-quality computer code and solve more complex math problems than previous versions.

Artificial intelligence has made its way into a wide variety of markets.1. AI in healthcare: The biggest bets are on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Companies are applying machine learning to make better and faster medical diagnoses than humans. One of the best-known healthcare technologies is IBM Watson. It understands natural language and can respond to questions asked of it. The system mines patient data and other available data sources to form a hypothesis, which it then presents with a confidence scoring schema. Other AI applications include using online virtual health assistants and chatbots to help patients and healthcare customers find medical information, schedule appointments, understand the billing process and complete other administrative processes. An array of AI technologies is also being used to predict, fight and understand pandemics such as COVID-19.2. AI in business: Machine learning algorithms are being integrated into analytics and customer relationship management (CRM) platforms to uncover information on how to better serve customers. Chatbots have been incorporated into websites to provide immediate service to customers. The rapid advancement of generative AI technology such as ChatGPT is expected to have far-reaching consequences: eliminating jobs, revolutionizing product design and disrupting business models.3. AI in education: AI can automate grading, giving educators more time for other tasks. It can assess students and adapt to their needs, helping them work at their own pace. AI tutors can provide additional support to students, ensuring they stay on track. The technology could also change where and how students learn, perhaps even replacing some teachers. As demonstrated by ChatGPT, Google Bard and other large language models, generative AI can help educators craft course work and other teaching materials and engage students in new ways. The advent of these tools also forces educators to rethink student homework and testing and revise policies on plagiarism.4. AI in finance: AI in personal finance applications, such as Intuit Mint or TurboTax, is disrupting financial institutions. Applications such as these collect personal data and provide financial advice. Other programs, such as IBM Watson, have been applied to the process of buying a home. Today, artificial intelligence software performs much of the trading on Wall Street.5. AI in law: The discovery process -- sifting through documents -- in law is often overwhelming for humans. Using AI to help automate the legal industry's labor-intensive processes is saving time and improving client service. Law firms use machine learning to describe data and predict outcomes, computer vision to classify and extract information from documents, and NLP to interpret requests for information.6. AI in entertainment and media: The entertainment business uses AI techniques for targeted advertising, recommending content, distribution, detecting fraud, creating scripts and making movies. Automated journalism helps newsrooms streamline media workflows reducing time, costs and complexity. Newsrooms use AI to automate routine tasks, such as data entry and proofreading; and to research topics and assist with headlines. How journalism can reliably use ChatGPT and other generative AI to generate content is open to question.7. AI in software coding and IT processes: New generative AI tools can be used to produce application code based on natural language prompts, but it is early days for these tools and unlikely they will replace software engineers soon. AI is also being used to automate many IT processes, including data entry, fraud detection, customer service, and predictive maintenance and security.8. AI in Security: AI and machine learning are at the top of the buzzword list security vendors use to market their products, so buyers should approach with caution. Still, AI techniques are being successfully applied to multiple aspects of cybersecurity, including anomaly detection, solving the false-positive problem and conducting behavioral threat analytics. Organizations use machine learning in security information and event management (SIEM) software and related areas to detect anomalies and identify suspicious activities that indicate threats. By analyzing data and using logic to identify similarities to known malicious code, AI can provide alerts to new and emerging attacks much sooner than human employees and previous technology iterations.9. AI in manufacturing: Manufacturing has been at the forefront of incorporating robots into the workflow. For example, the industrial robots that were at one time programmed to perform single tasks and separated from human workers, increasingly function as cobots: Smaller, multitasking robots that collaborate with humans and take on responsibility for more parts of the job in warehouses, factory floors and other workspaces.10. AI in banking: Banks are successfully employing chatbots to make their customers aware of services and offerings and to handle transactions that don't require human intervention. AI virtual assistants are used to improve and cut the costs of compliance with banking regulations. Banking organizations use AI to improve their decision-making for loans, set credit limits and identify investment opportunities.11. AI in transportation: In addition to AI's fundamental role in operating autonomous vehicles, AI technologies are used in transportation to manage traffic, predict flight delays, and make ocean shipping safer and more efficient. In supply chains, AI is replacing traditional methods of forecasting demand and predicting disruptions, a trend accelerated by COVID-19 when many companies were caught off guard by the effects of a global pandemic on the supply and demand of goods.Copyrights: Martin Onyisi(Tech with Martony)#techwithmartony #utility #innovative #NewsUpdate #technique #ML #interior #TechInnovation #foryoupage #softwaredeveloper #me #Free #FreeShipping #techtips #tech #technology

RandomlyRandom67MemberJul 7, 20232,207GTA 6 Could Cost As Much As $100, Some Hope; Analyst Clarifies CommentsIf Take-Two raises prices to $80 or more, other publishers could apparently follow suit.www.gamespot.comVeteran investment analyst and researcher Matthew Ball of Epyllion has released a gargantuan, 219-page report about the "State of Video Gaming in 2025,"and some of the presentation looks at how the video game industry can possibly grow in 2025. In a section titled "How Player, Playertime, and Player Spend Might Return to Growth," Ball mentioned a variety of opportunities, including Grand Theft Auto VI costing as much as $100 when it launches this year.Ball said "there is hope" that Take-Two will price GTA 6 at "$80 or even $100," which could prove to be a turning point for the video game industry. This could break a "key price barrier" and allow other developers to raise prices as well, he said. Before this, a Baldur's Gate 3 developer said GTA 6 could prompt a shift to more expensive games if Take-Two decides to price it above $70.Click to expand...Click to shrink...

Call of Duty Season 3 is live in Warzone. In addition to the Verdansk map, Season 3 adds a brand-new battle pass and limited-time event to deliver several iconic weapons from Modern Warfare 2019. This new season makes the weapon meta completely fresh, and there are a lot of powerful weapons to consider. Here, we recommend some of the best weapon loadouts to try across standard battle royale and Resurgence matches of Warzone.Season 3 adds plenty of nostalgic weapons from Modern Warfare 2019, such as the Kilo 141, CR-56 AMAX, Grau 5.56, and the HDR. All of these weapons are great to use in Warzone again and will be featured in the gun builds listed below.Make sure to also check out our guide for recommended Black Ops 6 multiplayer loadouts for Season 3. CR-56 AMAXThe CR-56 AMAX assault rifle returns as the king of Verdansk, and just like the Modern Warfare 2019 version, this gun still hits like a truck. It still has a slower fire rate and a bit more recoil than the Kilo 141 build shared below, but it's such a powerful assault rifle to use. The recommended attachments will help reduce some of the weapon's kick and speed up the fire rate.This build uses the Monolithic Suppressor, which is unlocked in the free tiers of the battle pass on page 7. You can also use the standard suppressor on this build until you can unlock the Monolithic Suppressor in the pass.Recommended CR-56 AMAX attachments:Optic: Volzhskiy ReflexMuzzle: Monolithic SuppressorBarrel: Gain-Twist BarrelUnderbarrel: Vertical ForegripMagazine: Extended Mag II Kilo 141Originally from Modern Warfare 2019, the fan-favorite Kilo 141 assault rifle returns with Season 3. The Kilo 141 was made popular because it was so reliable and really easy to handle. This remains true in the gun's return to Verdansk. This is a fast-firing and reliable choice with minimal recoil, making this an easy top choice for Season 3. This is a great gun and recommended build regardless of the map or mode.Recommended Kilo 141 attachments:Optic: Volzhskiy ReflexMuzzle: Monolithic SuppressorBarrel: Gain-Twist BarrelUnderbarrel: Vertical ForegripMagazine: Extended Mag II Swat 5.56 (Grau conversion)The Swat 5.56 made for a pretty weak choice in Warzone, but Season 3's battle pass adds a Grau conversion kit attachment that transforms this underperforming marksman rifle into the fully-auto Grau 5.56 assault rifle from Modern Warfare 2019. With this conversion kit, the gun has a very fast time-to-kill and very little recoil. It really looks and feels just like the original Grau 5.56, which was so popular with Verdansk.Again, this build uses the Grau conversion kit, which is unlocked in the free tiers of the battle pass on page 5. You can use the standard suppressor until you unlock this.Recommended Swat 5.56 attachments:Muzzle: Monolithic SuppressorUnderbarrel: Vertical ForegripMagazine: Full-Auto Extended MagRear Grip: Quickdraw GripFire Mod: Grau Conversion KSVThe KSV submachine gun is one of the best options for close-range engagements. The recommended attachments will help provide the KSV with more recoil control, extra bullet velocity, and additional ammo.Recommended KSV attachments:Muzzle: CompensatorBarrel: Reinforced BarrelUnderbarrel: Ranger ForegripMagazine: Extended Mag IIStock: Balanced Stock C9The C9 is a well-rounded gun for close-range fights, and it's a great choice for a sniper support gun. The recommended attachments will give you more recoil control, extra bullet velocity, and additional ammo.Recommended C9 attachments:Muzzle: CompensatorBarrel: Reinforced BarrelUnderbarrel: Ranger ForegripMagazine: Extended Mag IIRear Grip: Commando Grip HDROriginally from Modern Warfare 2019, the HDR sniper rifle returns in Season 3. The HDR returns to Verdansk with its same one-shot glory. The recommended attachments will help boost the bullet velocity and damage range, making this a one-shot sniper at infinite range.Recommended HDR attachments:Muzzle: Monolithic SuppressorBarrel: Gain-Twist BarrelMagazine: Extended Mag IRear Grip: Quickdraw GripFire Mod: 108MM Overpressured Kar98kNot everyone loves slow, heavy snipers like the HDR. The Kar98k is still a decent choice for those looking for a faster and more aggressive sniper. This won't get you one-shot potential at infinite range, but this is still a great build for aggressive snipers not looking to challenge players across the distance of huge POIs.Recommended Kar98k attachments:Optic: Range Caller V3.4Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire SuppressorBarrel: Prazisionsgewehr 762 Long BarrelSling: Recon SlingAmmunition: 7.92x57MM High Grain Rounds

Besides a new approach to its battling system, the contrast between these trainer battles and Pokemon Legends: Z-A's day-night cycle seems uncharacteristic for the series, something which could be laying the groundwork for the next Pokemon Legends game. With the introduction of internal batteries to Game Boy Color cartridges, Pokemon Gold and Silver debuted an in-game day-night cycle, which has since become a core mechanic throughout the Pokemon series. However, until Pokemon Legends: Z-A's latest reveal, Gen 7's Pokemon Sun and Moon and their Ultra counterparts were the only games to experiment with this feature.

March is finally behind us, and with its passing comes the arrival of spring and all its splendors! Theres a ton of exciting new releases to catch in theaters this month, from the returns of major directors, like Ryan Cooglers Sinners and David Cronenbergs The Shrouds, to escapist genre fare like The Accountant 2 and The Legend of Ochi.Looking for something to watch from the comfort of your own home? Dont worry, we got you. This months selection of the best films available on streaming include Steve McQueens underrated heist thriller starring Viola Davis, a bonafide classic from Michael Mann, a stirring period romance, and much more.Here are the best movies new to streaming services you should watch this month!Editors PickWidowsWhere to watch: HuluGenre: Heist thrillerDirector: Steve McQueenCast: Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth DebickiModern thrillers dont get much better than 2018s Widows. The story follows Veronica Rawlings (Viola Davis), the widow of a famous bank robber. After her husbands death, Veronica gets pushed into pulling a heist of her own to pay back Jamal (Bryan Tyree Henry), the crime boss that her husband stole from in his last heist.Director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave), manages to fill every moment of the movie with palpable tension, but its the outstanding cast, which also includes Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Colin Farrell, and Daniel Kaluuya, who really make this movie shine. Every single actor here is doing some of the best work theyve ever done, including one of the most terrifying performances in modern memory from Kaluuya. While this movie didnt make a massive splash when it was released, its absolutely a modern crime classic, and one worth revisiting. Austen GoslinNew on NetflixHeatGenre: Heist thrillerDirector: Michael MannCast: Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Val KilmerIts never a bad time to rewatch Michael Manns cops-and-criminals heist classic Heat, but right now is a particularly great time. After all, Netflix also has both Den of Thieves movies, which make for a perfect pairing with Heat, and Mann himself apparently just turned in his script for Heat 2, which will follow the plot of the novel he released in 2022 and act as both a prequel and sequel to his 1995 film. In much sadder news, the film also includes a tremendous performance by Val Kilmer, who passed away this week.All of that preamble aside though, Heat remains an absolute banger and one of the best heist movies ever made. While the sprawling story takes on half a dozen or so subplots, and tons of different characters, the heart of Heat is the constant chess match between master thief Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) and Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), the expert police detective whos chasing him. While many movies have tried to replicate this cat-and-mouse game since Heat was first released, no other movie has ever nailed it quite like the original. AGNew on HuluSexy BeastGenre: Black comedyDirector: Jonathan GlazerCast: Ray Winstone, Ben Kingsley, Ian McShanePrior to winning an Oscar for his historical drama The Zone of Interest, Jonathan Glazer cut his teeth as a music video, directing some of the most visually striking short films for idiosyncratic artists like Radiohead, Apex Twin, and Jamiroquai. His 2000 feature directorial debut, Sexy Beast, feels the most indebted to his previous life as a commercial director out of all his films, thanks in no small part to its pulsing electronic score composed by UK triphop outfit Unkle.Ray Winstone stars as Gary Gal Dove, an ex-criminal happily retired in the South of Spain, living a life of luxury and leisure off the fruit of his ill-gotten gains. When Gal is visited by Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a sociopathic former acquaintance, his once-placid life is completely upended, forcing him to resort to desperate measures in order to finally leave his old life behind. While Winstone is technically the lead, its Kingsley that steals the spotlight as Don with his caustic rapid-fire invective and intimidating demeanor. Throw in a memorable supporting performance by Ian McShane as an eagle-eyed London crime boss, and you have a nail-biting crime thriller with a serious psychological bent. Toussaint EganNew on MaxPortrait of a Lady on FireGenre: Historical romantic dramaDirector: Cline SciammaCast: Nomie Merlant, Adle HaenelCline Sciammas 2019 film is one of the most beautiful and bittersweet love stories ever committed to film, a sapphic romance set against the backdrop of 18th century France. Having been commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Hlose (Adle Haenel), the soon-to-be wife of a wealthy dignitary, Marianne (Nomie Merlant) and her subject unexpectedly fall in love, all the while knowing that their love cannot be nor last forever. With beautiful cinematography, an exquisite pair of leading performances, and an ending certain to clench at your heartstrings, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is an unambiguous masterpiece. TENew on Prime VideoThree Thousand Years of LongingGenre: Romantic fantasyDirector: George MillerCast: Tilda Swinton, Idris ElbaTo say it plainly, Three Thousand Years of Longing was not the film most audiences had in mind for George Millers operatic post-apocalyptic thriller Mad Max: Fury Road. It was a damn good movie, rich with mesmerizing imagery and an affecting on-screen dynamic between a demure narratologist (Tilda Swinton) and the haughty Djinn (Idris Elba) she unwittingly unleashed from a flask in Istanbul. I wholly believe that time will be kind to this film, by why miss an opportunity to experience it now? If you love Millers work, youll undoubtedly find something to love here. TE
