The case - which is also brought against Telefonica's O2 and Hutchison's Three UK, whose $19 billion merger with Vodafone was approved last year - was valued at over 3.2 billion pounds ($4.29 billion).

Another Apple supplier, Yuzhan Technology, has started operations at its display module assembly unit in Tamil Nadu. The Foxconn subsidiary “has begun exporting the display modules assembled there to Foxconn factories outside India for certain iPhone models,” said the person cited above.

Researchers at Google Cloud and UCLA have proposed a new reinforcement learning framework that significantly improves the ability of language models to learn very challenging multi-step reasoning tasks. Supervised Reinforcement Learning (SRL) reformulates problem-solving as a sequence of logical “actions,” providing rich learning signals during the training process.This approach enables smaller models to learn complex problems that were previously out of reach for other common training techniques. Experiments show that SRL not only excels on math reasoning benchmarks but also generalizes effectively to agentic software engineering tasks.SRL is a versatile training framework that can elevate smaller and less expensive models to higher reasoning abilities.The limits of current LLM reasoning trainingRecent advances in training large language models (LLMs) for reasoning have largely been driven by reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), a method where a model is […]

Project Kuiper Rebrands to Amazon Leo Seven-year-old Project Kuiper, Amazon’s foray into the low-earth orbit (LEO) sector, has changed its name to Amazon Leo. It’s a more down-to-earth name for two reasons. First, it includes the LEO technology it is hoping to harness. Second, the original name was taken from the Kuiper Belt, a ring of asteroids in the far reaches Telecompetitor

Starlink Quietly Introduces $40 Monthly Plan Starlink is offering a new home internet plan that’s as cheap — or cheaper — than some of the most affordable plans in the U.S. The new plan offers speeds up to 100 Mbps for $40 per month, with no upfront equipment costs. Upload speeds aren’t limited, but are usually much slower on satellite and Telecompetitor

Telecommuting Market Worth $400B by 2033: Report The global telecommuting market hit the $200 billion mark last year and is on pace to double that value by 2033, according to a new report from Market Research Intellect. It will enjoy a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% between next year and the end of the report period. Telecommuting’s great strides are Telecompetitor

There is a lot of enterprise data trapped in PDF documents. To be sure, gen AI tools have been able to ingest and analyze PDFs, but accuracy, time and cost have been less than ideal. New technology from Databricks could change that.The company this week detailed its "ai_parse_document" technology, now integrated with Databricks' Agent Bricks platform. The technology addresses a critical bottleneck in enterprise AI adoption: Approximately 80% of enterprise knowledge remains locked in PDFs, reports and diagrams that AI systems struggle to accurately process and understand."It's a common assumption that parsing PDFs is a solved problem, but in reality, it isn't," Erich Elsen, principal research scientist at Databricks, told VentureBeat. "The challenge isn't just that documents are unstructured; it's that enterprise PDFs are inherently complex. They mix digital-native content with scanned pages and photos of physical documents, alongside tables, charts and irregular layouts, and most […]

It was originally found in leaked code and publicized by AI influencers on X, but OpenAI has made it official: ChatGPT now offers Group Chats, allowing multiple users to join the same, single ChatGPT conversation and send messages to each other and the underlying large language model (LLM), online and via its mobile apps. Imagine adding ChatGPT as another member of your existing group chats, allowing you to text it as you would one of your friends or family members and have them respond as well, and you'll have an idea of the intriguing power and potential of this feature.However, the feature is only available as a limited pilot for now to ChatGPT users in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan (all tiers, including free usage).“Group chats are just the beginning of ChatGPT becoming a shared space to collaborate and interact with others,” OpenAI wrote in its announcement.This development builds on internal experimentation at OpenAI, where technical staffer Keyan Zhang said in […]
