Artificial intelligence

If AI tools still feel inconsistent, slow, or hit-or-miss, the problem usually isn't the technology-it's how you're using it. trAInedup.ai focuses on the skill that actually determines results: prompt engineering. Instead of chasing new platforms, it teaches you how to get reliable, high-quality output from the AI tools you already rely on. Right now, the trAInedup.ai Basic Plan is available for a one-time payment of $79.99 (reg. $459), giving entrepreneurs lifetime access to practical, structured AI training.

For understandable reasons, much of the alarm being raised about AI technology focuses on a fairly narrow band of adverse effects. AI can hallucinate incorrect answers, which could lead to errors both trivial and damaging. There's also the phenomenon of AI chatbots encouraging their users to engage in harmful or even fatal behavior. But there's another side to this as well: are AI agents reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes?

He then lowered his fists, extended his thumbs and little fingers, and moved them up and down by his chest, as though milking a cow. Finally, he laid the fingers of one hand flat on his chin and flexed his wrist forward. Hartwell, who has no hearing problems, had just used BSL, British Sign Language, to order his morning latte with normal milk at the deaf-run Dialogue Cafe, based at the University of East London.

The new capabilities center on two integrated components: the Dynamo Planner Profiler and the SLO-based Dynamo Planner. These tools work together to solve the "rate matching" challenge in disaggregated serving. The teams use this term when they split inference workloads. They separate prefill operations, which process the input context, from decode operations that generate output tokens. These tasks run on different GPU pools. Without the right tools, teams spend a lot of time determining the optimal GPU allocation for these phases.

The core Family of Apps segment - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger - drove the momentum, generating $58.9 billion in revenue (up 25%) and $58.1 billion in advertising (up 24%). Ad impressions grew 18%, with average price per ad rising 6%. Operating income hit $24.7 billion, yielding a robust 41% margin. AI enhancements played a key role here, boosting engagement - such as a 7% lift in organic feed and video views - and improving ad performance through better ranking, personalization.

Meta remains a digital advertising juggernaut. Its ad revenue soared 24% year over year in Q4 to $58.1 billion. And AI is transforming the company's core ad business, boosting revenue and profits. In Q4, Meta changed the architecture of the GEM model it uses for ad ranking and doubled the number of GPUs used to train the AI model. The results were impressive: a 3.5% increase in ad clicks on Facebook, with a 1%+ increase in ad conversions on Instagram.

Among them is the country's embrace of human-like AI systems, which are increasingly being embedded in cuddly, commercial, transactable toys - for adults, strikingly, in addition to children - at the same time that state regulators are considering a broader crackdown on that exact type of tech. New reporting by China Daily reveals the rise of AI companion toys among adults in China, a trend emerging as more of the country's citizens live alone than ever before.

Each of these achievements would have been a remarkable breakthrough on its own. Solving them all with a single technique is like discovering a master key that unlocks every door at once. Why now? Three pieces converged: algorithms, computing power, and massive amounts of data. We can even put faces to them, because behind each element is a person who took a gamble.

This article is not about AI. It's about why memory, not models, is the difference between compounding value and constant reset. It is about what happens when systems that sound intelligent cannot sustain continuity, and why that failure quietly breaks the economic logic of advertising. When continuity disappears, compounding stops. When meaning stops compounding, efficiency collapses. Spending rises, trust erodes, and the system looks like it is working right up until the moment it becomes unaffordable.

What we are beginning to see is that many open-source and other models are becoming compact enough and sufficiently optimized to run very efficiently on consumer GPUs,

The round was led by Google Ventures , with participation from existing investors, underscoring continued appetite for applied AI products that have already found a clear commercial use. Synthesia builds generative AI tools that let companies create videos using AI-generated avatars instead of cameras, studios, or presenters. The technology has found a strong foothold in corporate training, internal communications, and product explainers, areas where speed, scale, and consistency often matter more than production gloss.

"There was this emerging bragging right around the number of agents I had or I have in production," he said. "I think that's probably the wrong measure." The value of AI deployment is better measured by the quality - not the quantity - of agents, he said. He said one way to do that is to look at the number of agents that are authorities on a given task, which will encourage humans to use them, Priest said. The other is to evaluate the number of humans using those agents to execute tasks to achieve a prioritized outcome for a company.

Here is a recap of what happened in the search forums today, through the eyes of the Search Engine Roundtable and other search forums on the web. I am seeing some really heated Google search ranking volatility over the past 24-hours again. Google is testing third-party endorsement content on search ads. Google added a preferred sources help document. Google Business Profile review appeals are no longer delayed. Google Ads PMax has new one click ad previews. And I posted the weekly SEO video recap.
