DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 is a minor update to DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash, delivering substantial improvements across reasoning, coding, agentic tasks, and visual benchmarks. Alongside these gains, the model reduces task execution time and output length, enabling users to complete…
Kuwait-based AI-powered market research startup theQA has raised more than $550,000 in a Pre-Seed funding round, backed by a Kuwaiti family office and strategic angel investors. Founded in 2025 by Ahmad Al Ebrahim and Hussain Ali AlNashaba, theQA provides a digital consumer…
More than half of surveyed IT professionals said monitoring data cost more than the infrastructure being watched, while many struggled to measure AI performance
PerturbAI, an AI-native biotechnology company, today announced results from its year-long collaboration with OpenAI to advance biomedical research and drug discovery. Working with Scripps Research, the teams developed an AI reasoning framework that helps scientists interpret large experimental datasets,
Text-output scores alone do not show whether quantization preserves performance on speech tasks whose target labels cannot be recovered from the transcript. We evaluate fixed mixed 4/8-bit Qwen2-Audio-7B-Instruct allocations averaging 6 and 7 bits per parameter on 508…
This paper introduces a multi-temporal tabular dataset derived from satellite images to map burned areas in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, in Goiás, Brazil, covering the years 2020 to 2022. The dataset contains blue, green, red, and near-infrared bands, as well as the…
Patch-based autoregressive time-series forecasting often ties input representation, learned transitions, and recursive execution to one patch length. We ask which of these roles can be adjusted separately. A supporting atomic-encoding study finds greater sensitivity to model…
The A* search is a fundamental path-finding algorithm in artificial intelligence. While admissible and consistent heuristics guarantee efficient performance by expanding each state at most once, modern search applications frequently employ powerful but inconsistent heuristics…
