4+ min ago (321+ words) OpenAI said Dresser will oversee global revenue strategy and "will help more businesses put AI to work in their day-to-day operations." Dresser had already spent more than a decade at Salesforce when the software pioneer announced in 2020 it was buying work-chatting service Slack for $27.7 billion. She helped integrate Slack into the software company before Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff picked her as CEO in 2023. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman earlier this month set off a "code red" alert in an internal email to employees to improve its flagship product, ChatGPT, and delay other product developments. OpenAI first released ChatGPT just over three years ago, sparking global fascination and a commercial boom in generative AI technology and giving the San Francisco-based startup an early lead. But the company faces increased competition with rivals, including Google, which last month unleashed Gemini 3, the latest version…...

6+ min ago (757+ words) Nvidia has approval from the US Government to sell its more advanced H200 AI chips to China. But the question is whether Beijing wants it or will let companies buy it. The company can now ship its H200 chip to "approved customers, provided the US Government gets a 25 per cent cut of those sales. It had been effectively banned from selling any semiconductors to China earlier this year, but since July sought to resume H20 sales, a less advanced chip designed specifically to comply with export restrictions. Reports had suggested Beijing prohibited local companies from buying the H20. Nvidia is not baking in huge China sales into its forecasts as a result. After the ban was lifted, the Financial Times reported China would "limit access to the H200, citing unidentified sources.

8+ min ago (606+ words) Researchers have developed a quantum-enhanced machine learning system, based on a quantum kernel-powered memory network, that rapidly finds excellent solutions to complex problems by learning to optimise itself and then applying that knowledge to even larger, previously unseen instances. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Capture-486.jpg Finding effective solutions to complex optimisation problems represents a major hurdle in fields ranging from logistics to materials science, and researchers continually seek ways to harness the power of quantum computing to overcome these challenges. Yu-Cheng Lin from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Yu-Chao Hsu from the National Center for High-Performance Computing, and Samuel Yen-Chi Chen, along with their colleagues, now present a novel meta-learning framework that trains quantum sequence models to rapidly identify optimal settings for quantum optimisation algorithms. Their work demonstrates that a Quantum Kernel-based Long Short-Term Memory model, or QK-LSTM, significantly outperforms classical and other quantum…...

9+ min ago (230+ words) (InvestigateTV) " With rising prices and tight budgets, many of us have to juggle to pay bills " or even pay them late " until our next paycheck comes in. A new LendingTree survey found 48 percent of Americans paid a bill late in the last year. And 30 percent told the company they feel less able to afford their monthly bills than a year ago. Many people's budgets are already stretched thin, and even in good times, most households have very little financial cushion for unexpected costs. Tough times can mean tough choices, from canceling a subscription for a while to selling valuables or taking on a second job, all to create as much financial wiggle room as possible. "A good budget is a living breathing document that represents what your priorities are and when you have a good up to date budget it…...
