After open-sourcing the 1B and 3B models of Llama 3.2 in September, Meta released quantized versions of these models on October 24th, which reduce model size by an average of 56%, RAM usage by an average of 41%, and model speeds by a factor of 2 to 4, while lowering power consumption so that these models can be deployed to a wider range of mobile devices. Model Quantization is the process of converting floating-point models to fixed-point models through various training methods, which compresses the model parameters and reduces the complexity of the model so that it can be run on lighter platforms. These quantized models are faster, use less RAM, and consume less power than the non-quantized Llama BF16 models, while maintaining nearly the same accuracy as the Llama BF16 version.Although the quantized Llama 3.2 1B and 3B models only support a context of 8,000 tokens (compared to 128,000 tokens for the original models), Meta's testing found that benchmark results for both the quantized versions of Llama QLoRA and Llama SpinQuant are actually quite comparable to the original Llama BF16 version. However, Meta's testing found that both the quantized versions of Llama QLoRA and Llama SpinQuant actually benchmarked well against the original Llama BF16 version. Currently, Meta has tested these quantized models on mobile platforms such as the One Plus 12, Samsung S24+/S22, and Apple iOS devices (no specific model announced), with “good results,” and the researchers plan to improve the performance of these quantized models with neural processing units (NPUs) in the future.

Previously, a buggy update to CrowdStrike caused 8.5 million Windows devices around the world to crash on the blue screen. The new tool creates bootable USB drives that administrators can use to quickly restore affected machines. While CrowdStrike has released an update to fix the software, not all machines will automatically receive the update.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued an updated circular forecasting that the El Niño phenomenon, which has fueled global warming and extreme weather events from 2023 to 2024, is showing signs of ending, although La Niña conditions could return later this year. The current El Niño peaked in December 2023, one of the five strongest on record, and the probability of a “La Niña” event in 2024 is 60 percent between July and September, increasing to 70 percent between August and November. El Niño is a climatic phenomenon, understood as a warm water phenomenon, in which persistently high sea temperatures in the central-eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean cause anomalies in atmospheric circulation. This event increases global temperatures in the tropical Pacific, mainly by heating the atmosphere. The counterpart of El Niño is La Niña, which is a phenomenon in which sea surface temperatures in the central-eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean are persistently and abnormally cold over a wide area.

KoGuan Leo has been one of Tesla's largest shareholders for years and is the company's largest retail investor, holding more than 27 million shares. Recently, he has expressed his dissatisfaction with Musk's leadership and his opposition to the compensation package that may be adopted. In 2018, shareholders voted to approve a huge compensation package that would have rewarded Musk with billions of dollars for meeting specific growth and stock goals. Musk met those goals and was therefore due a $56 billion reward. However, a minority shareholder sued Tesla and Musk, and ultimately a Delaware judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, striking down the compensation plan. Tesla is doing everything it can to get shareholders to approve the compensation plan again, but it's being opposed by Leo.

On May 14, Google announced at the I / O 2024 developer conference that it will invite Workspace and Google One AI Premium users next month to experience a new version of Gmail that will allow Gemini to summarize email content.Users can use Gemini in both the mobile app and the web version of Gmail to ask questions about the content of the current email or have Gemini compose a response based on the context of the email. Google has already introduced Smart Reply in Gmail, but this new version brings “Contextual Smart Reply” for more detailed and better responses based on context.

On May 14, at the I / O 2024 developer conference, Google announced the introduction of AI scam call detection for Android, alerting users to possible scams during calls and encouraging them to end such calls.The feature is based on the locally running Gemini Nano model, which matches to find fraudulent language and other conversation patterns commonly associated with scams during a call. For example, if a scammer poses as a bank employee and asks for personal information such as your password or card PIN, or asks for a payment via a gift card, or asks the user to transfer money to them urgently, Gemini Nano recognizes all of the above scenarios and thus alerts the user to the risk. Security-wise, Google says that these new protections are implemented entirely on the device, so conversations monitored by the Gemini Nano will remain private. It's not yet known when this fraud detection feature will be rolled out, but Google says it's in a disabled state by default and will need to be manually enabled by the user for it to take effect, and that Google will share more information later this year.

Bitcoin miners earn new coins by verifying and adding transactions to the blockchain network, while also profiting from fees paid by users. With the price of the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, continuing to trade at record levels, Bitcoin miners' revenues reached an all-time high last week.On March 7, daily revenue for Bitcoin miners reached $78.6 million, surpassing the peak set in April 2021 during the last cryptocurrency bull market.It is understood that after a prolonged downturn caused by a series of cryptocurrency scandals and bankruptcies in 2022, the price of Bitcoin began to rebound last year, and the U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), which made its debut on Jan. 11, received a net inflow of about $9.5 billion, which further pushed up the price.In addition, Bitcoin's upcoming halving event in April, when miners' incentives will be halved and the growth in the coin's supply will slow, has encouraged bets on higher prices.On Monday, the token's price was near an all-time high of $72,881, as miners' incomes surged against the backdrop of a 70 percent increase in the price of bitcoin so far this year.For miners, it's the backdrop for a remarkable rebound from the doldrums of the cryptocurrency winter. For example, the Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF, which includes companies like CleanSpark (CLSK.US) and Marathon Digital (MARA.US), has more than doubled in the last 12 months.At the moment, companies are scrambling to set themselves up for success. It was reported earlier that since February 2023, 13 top mining companies have placed orders for more than $1 billion worth of specialized computers.
