“We reproduced #DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game, and it just works
Through RL, the 3B base LM develops #SelfVerification and #search abilities all on its own
You can experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30” — #JiayiPan
Beginning to see replication of Deepseek … “learns to allocate more thinking time to a problem by re-evaluating its approach” … this is described as the “Ah Ha Moment”.

“Two #Brisbane #entrepreneurs whose start-up helps major companies find weaknesses in their #cybersecurity have sold out to a British private equity-backed firm for more than $100 million.
Michael #Gianarakis and Shubham #Shah, who describe themselves as #EthicalHackers, founded #Assetnote in 2018. They have since signed Atlassian, Qantas and Canva as clients, and have been profitable since they started.”

🚨 #TechWeenie Alert
Headed for technofascism’: the rightwing roots of Silicon Valley
“An influential Silicon Valley publication runs a cover story lamenting the “pussification” of tech. A major tech CEO lambasts a Black civil rights leader’s calls for diversifying the tech workforce. #Technologists rage against the “PC police”.
No, this isn’t #SiliconValley in the age of Maga. It’s the tech industry of the 1990s, when observers first raised concerns about the rightwing bend of Silicon Valley and the potential for “#technofascism”. Despite the industry’s (often undeserved) reputation for #liberalism, its reactionary foundations were baked in almost from the beginning. As Silicon Valley enters a second Trump administration, the gendered roots of its original reactionary movement offer insight into today’s rightward turn.”

“the recent #erasure and #submerging of abortion-related content, so soon after Donald Trump’s return to #power, has caused fear among some abortion rights supporters that a bigger crackdown could be on the horizon – and concerns that the #Meta founder #MarkZuckerberg’s promise to protect “#FreeExpression” may not apply to all speech.”

“Experts have also questioned the assumption that DeepSeek was building with 10,000 A100 #Nvidia chips, with analysts like #DylanPatel speculating that #DeepSeek needs at least 50,000 of Nvidia’s far-more powerful chips, the H100s. #Meta for instance, operates the equivalent of 600,000 Nvidia H100s.”

“Earlier that Monday, Liang attended a closed-door business symposium in #Beijing that was hosted by Chinese #PremierLiQiang. There, experts in technology, science, education and other fields offered their opinions and suggestions for a draft government work report, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Video footage on YouTube shows Liang sitting across the table from Li and speaking, with the Chinese leader nodding attentively.
Significantly, #DeepSeek open sourced its #R1, allowing researchers and developers to freely use, modify and commercialise the model. That sent a signal that it wants to collaborate and innovate with others in the global #AI community.”

“#DeepSeek’s research was funded by #HighFlyer’s R&D budget, Liang said previously. It drew computing resources from the quant fund, which had amassed 10,000 Nvidia #GPU s in 2021, prior to US bans on exports of sophisticated #Nvidia chips and other graphics processing units.”

“We asked #DeepSeek’s #AI questions about topics historically censored by the #GreatFirewall. Here’s how its responses compared to the free versions of #ChatGPT and Google’s #Gemini #chatbot.
‘Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope’
Unsurprisingly, DeepSeek did not provide answers to questions about certain political events. When asked the following questions, the AI assistant responded: “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”
