We are joined by Francois Chollet and Mike Knoop, to launch the new version of the ARC prize! In version 2, the challenges have been calibrated with humans such that at least 2 humans could solve each task in a reasonable task, but also adversarially selected so that frontier reasoning models can't solve them. The best LLMs today get negligible performance on this challenge. https://arcprize.org/SPONSOR MESSAGES:***Tufa AI Labs is a brand new research lab in Zurich started by Benjamin Crouzier focussed on o-series style reasoning and AGI.

With the rebranding from Demesne Resources to American Tungsten (CSE: TUNG | OTCQB: DEMRF | FSE: RK9), the company reaffirmed its commitment to filling a critical gap in the U.S. tungsten supply chain and becoming a leading domestic producer for the defense and manufacturing sectors.In this interview, CEO Murray Nye goes into more detail on the rebranding, tungsten's strategic importance, the company's production potential, and the development of an NI 43-101 Technical Report on their flagship IMA Mine in Idaho—one of the top five tungsten producers in the U.S. in the 1950s.For more information about American Tungsten and its IMA Mine, visit: https://americantungstencorp.com/Watch the full YouTube interview here: https://youtu.be/MFsAZkL2jxcAnd follow us to stay updated: https://www.youtube.com/@GlobalOneMedia?sub_confirmation=1

What a week in AI, folks! Seriously, just when you think things might slow down, the AI world throws another curveball. This week, we had everything from rogue AI apps giving unsolicited life advice (and sending rogue texts!), to mind-blowing open source releases that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and of course, the ever-present drama of the big AI companies with OpenAI dropping a roadmap that has everyone scratching their heads.Buckle up, because on this week's ThursdAI, we dove deep into all of it. We chatted with the brains behind the latest open source embedding model, marveled at a tiny model crushing math benchmarks, and tried to decipher Sam Altman's cryptic GPT-5 roadmap. Plus, I shared a personal story about an AI app that decided to psychoanalyze my text messages – you won't believe what happened! Let's get into the TL;DR of ThursdAI, February 13th, 2025 – it's a wild one!* Alex Volkov: AI Adventurist with weights and biases* Wolfram Ravenwlf: AI Expert & Enthusiast* Nisten: AI Community Member* Zach Nussbaum: Machine Learning Engineer at Nomic AI* Vu Chan: AI Enthusiast & Evaluator* LDJ: AI Community MemberPersonal story of Rogue AI with RPLYThis week kicked off with a hilarious (and slightly unsettling) story of my own AI going rogue, all thanks to a new Mac app called RPLY designed to help with message replies. I installed it thinking it would be a cool productivity tool, but it turned into a personal intervention session, and then… well, let's just say things escalated.The app started by analyzing my text messages and, to my surprise, delivered a brutal psychoanalysis of my co-parenting communication, pointing out how both my ex and I were being "unpleasant" and needed to focus on the kids. As I said on the show, "I got this as a gut punch. I was like, f*ck, I need to reimagine my messaging choices." But the real kicker came when the AI decided to take initiative and started sending messages without my permission (apparently this was a bug with RPLY that was fixed since I reported)! Friends were texting me question marks, and my ex even replied to a random "Hey, How's your day going?" message with a smiley, completely out of our usual post-divorce communication style. "This AI, like on Monday before just gave me absolute s**t about not being, a person that needs to be focused on the kids also decided to smooth things out on friday" I chuckled, still slightly bewildered by the whole ordeal. It could have gone way worse, but thankfully, this rogue AI counselor just ended up being more funny than disastrous.Open Source LLMsDeepHermes preview from NousResearchJust in time for me sending this newsletter (but unfortunately not quite in time for the recording of the show), our friends at Nous shipped an experimental new thinking model, their first reasoner, called DeepHermes. NousResearch claims DeepHermes is among the first models to fuse reasoning and standard LLM token generation within a single architecture (a trend you'll see echoed in the OpenAI and Claude announcements below!)Definitely experimental cutting edge stuff here, but exciting to see not just an RL replication but also innovative attempts from one of the best finetuning collectives around. Nomic Embed Text V2 - First Embedding MoENomic AI continues to impress with the release of Nomic Embed Text V2, the first general-purpose Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) embedding model. Zach Nussbaum from Nomic AI joined us to explain why this release is a big deal.* First general-purpose Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) embedding model: This innovative architecture allows for better performance and efficiency.* SOTA performance on multilingual benchmarks: Nomic Embed V2 achieves state-of-the-art results on the multilingual MIRACL benchmark for its size.* Support for 100+ languages: Truly multilingual embeddings for global applications.* Truly open source: Nomic is committed to open source, releasing training data, weights, and code under the Apache 2.0 License.Zach highlighted the benefits of MoE for embeddings, explaining, "So we're trading a little bit of, inference time memory, and training compute to train a model with mixture of experts, but we get this, really nice added bonus of, 25 percent storage." This is especially crucial when dealing with massive datasets. You can check out the model on Hugging Face and read the Technical Report for all the juicy details.AllenAI OLMOE on iOS and New Tulu 3.1 8BAllenAI continues to champion open source with the release of OLMOE, a fully open-source iOS app, and the new Tulu 3.1 8B model.* OLMOE iOS App: This app brings state-of-the-art open-source language models to your iPhone, privately and securely.* Allows users to test open-source LLMs on-device.* Designed for researchers studying on-device AI and developers prototyping new AI experiences.* Optimized for on-device performance while maintaining high accuracy.* Fully open-source code for further development.* Available on the App Store for iPhone 15 Pro or newer and M-series iPads.* Tulu 3.1 8B As Nisten pointed out, "If you're doing edge AI, the way that this model is built is pretty ideal for that." This move by AllenAI underscores the growing importance of on-device AI and open access. Read more about OLMOE on the AllenAI Blog.Groq Adds Qwen Models and Lands on OpenRouterGroq, known for its blazing-fast inference speeds, has added Qwen models, including the distilled R1-distill, to its service and joined OpenRouter.* Record-fast inference: Experience a mind-blowing 1000 TPS with distilled DeepSeek R1 70B on Open Router.* Usable Rate Limits: Groq is now accessible for production use cases with higher rate limits and pay-as-you-go options.* Qwen Model Support: Access Qwen models like 2.5B-32B and R1-distill-qwen-32B.* Open Router Integration: Groq is now available on OpenRouter, expanding accessibility for developers.As Nisten noted, "At the end of the day, they are shipping very fast inference and you can buy it and it looks like they are scaling it. So they are providing the market with what it needs in this case." This integration makes Groq's speed even more accessible to developers. Check out Groq's announcement on X.com.SambaNova adds full DeepSeek R1 671B - flies at 200t/s (blog)In a complete trend of this week, SambaNova just announced they have availability of DeepSeek R1, sped up by their custom chips, flying at 150-200t/s. This is the full DeepSeek R1, not the distilled Qwen based versions! This is really impressive work, and compared to the second fastest US based DeepSeek R1 (on Together AI) it absolutely fliesAgentica DeepScaler 1.5B Beats o1-preview on MathAgentica's DeepScaler 1.5B model is making waves by outperforming OpenAI's o1-preview on math benchmarks, using Reinforcement Learning (RL) for just $4500 of compute.* Impressive Math Performance: DeepScaleR achieves a 37.1% Pass@1 on AIME 2025, outperforming the base model and even o1-preview!!* Efficient Training: Trained using RL for just $4500, demonstrating cost-effective scaling of intelligence.* Open Sourced Resources: Agentica open-sourced their dataset, code, and training logs, fostering community progress in RL-based reasoning.Vu Chan, an AI enthusiast who evaluated the model, joined us to share his excitement: "It achieves, 42% pass at one on a AIME 24. which basically means if you give the model only one chance at every problem, it will solve 42% of them." He also highlighted the model's efficiency, generating correct answers with fewer tokens. You can find the model on Hugging Face, check out the WandB logs, and see the announcement on X.com.ModernBert Instruct - Encoder Model for General TasksModernBert, known for its efficient encoder-only architecture, now has an instruct version, ModernBert Instruct, capable of handling general tasks.* Instruct-tuned Encoder: ModernBERT-Large-Instruct can perform classification and multiple-choice tasks using its Masked Language Modeling (MLM) head.* Beats Qwen .5B: Outperforms Qwen .5B on MMLU and MMLU Pro benchmarks.* Efficient and Versatile: Demonstrates the potential of encoder models for general tasks without task-specific heads.This release shows that even encoder-only models can be adapted for broader applications, challenging the dominance of decoder-based LLMs for certain tasks. Check out the announcement on X.com.Big CO LLMs + APIsRIP GPT-5 and o3 - OpenAI Announces Public RoadmapOpenAI shook things up this week with a roadmap update from Sam Altman, announcing a shift in strategy for GPT-5 and the o-series models. Get ready for GPT-4.5 (Orion) and a unified GPT-5 system!* GPT-4.5 (Orion) is Coming: This will be the last non-chain-of-thought model from OpenAI.* GPT-5: A Unified System: GPT-5 will integrate technologies from both the GPT and o-series models into a single, seamless system.* No Standalone o3: o3 will not be released as a standalone model; its technology will be integrated into GPT-5. "We will no longer ship O3 as a standalone model," Sam Altman stated.* Simplified User Experience: The model picker will be eliminated in ChatGPT and the API, aiming for a more intuitive experience.* Subscription Tier Changes:* Free users will get unlimited access to GPT-5 at a standard intelligence level.* Plus and Pro subscribers will gain access to increasingly advanced intelligence settings of GPT-5.* Expanded Capabilities: GPT-5 will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more.This roadmap signals a move towards more integrated and user-friendly AI experiences. As Wolfram noted, "Having a unified access and the AI should be smart enough... AI has, we need an AI to pick which AI to use." This seems to be OpenAI's direction. Read Sam Altman's full announcement on X.com.OpenAI Releases ModelSpec v2OpenAI also released ModelSpec v2, an update to their document defining desired AI model behaviors, emphasizing customizability, transparency, and intellectual freedom.* Chain of Command: Defines a hierarchy to balance user/developer control with platform-level rules.* Truth-Seeking and User Empowerment: Encourages models to "seek the truth together" with users and empower decision-making.* Core Principles: Sets standards for competence, accuracy, avoiding harm, and embracing intellectual freedom.* Open Source: OpenAI open-sourced the Spec and evaluation prompts for broader use and collaboration on GitHub.This release reflects OpenAI's ongoing efforts to align AI behavior and promote responsible development. Wolfram praised ModelSpec, saying, "I was all over the original models back when it was announced in the first place... That is one very important aspect when you have the AI agent going out on the web and get information from not trusted sources." Explore ModelSpec v2 on the dedicated website.VP Vance Speech at AI Summit in Paris - Deregulate and Dominate!Vice President Vance delivered a powerful speech at the AI Summit in Paris, advocating for pro-growth AI policies and deregulation to maintain American leadership in AI.* Pro-Growth and Deregulation: VP Vance urged for policies that encourage AI innovation and cautioned against excessive regulation, specifically mentioning GDPR.* American AI Leadership: Emphasized ensuring American AI technology remains the global standard and blocks hostile foreign adversaries from weaponizing AI.

First Phosphate CEO John Passalacqua joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share updates on the company's Bégin-Lamarche Phosphate Project in Quebec. The company has filed its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Technical Report, outlining the potential for open-pit mining to produce phosphate concentrate and recover magnetite as a secondary product. The PEA projects an annual average production of 900,000 tonnes of beneficiated phosphate concentrate with 40% P₂O₅ content and 380,000 tonnes of magnetite with 92% Fe₂O₃ content. The mine is expected to operate for 23 years and deliver strong economic results, including a pre-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 37.1% and a pre-tax net present value (NPV) of $2.1 billion at an 8% discount rate. These projections are based on a three-year trailing average phosphate price, with a premium for purity and supply security, and a two-year trailing average magnetite price with a similar premium. The project is also expected to generate $700 million in after-tax cash flow during the first three years of operation, with a payback period of 2.9 years post-production. Pre-tax cash flow for the same period is estimated at $783 million, with a 2.6-year payback period. Additionally, the project has no outstanding royalties or financing streams, simplifying its path to profitability. Passalacqua stated that the PEA demonstrates the strong economic viability of the project, highlighting its potential to meet global demand for high-purity phosphate and magnetite. The Bégin-Lamarche Project positions First Phosphate as a key player in the sustainable supply of critical materials for industries like fertilizers and renewable energy. #proactiveinvestors #firstphosphatecorp #cse #phos #otcqb #frspf #phosphate #GreenMining #BatteryMaterials #LFPBatteries #CleanEnergy #MiningInnovation #SustainablePhosphate #EVRevolution #NorthAmericaElectrification #ProactiveInterviews

This is a link post. Science just released an article, with an accompanying technical report, about a neglected source of biological risk. From the abstract of the technical report: This report describes the technical feasibility of creating mirror bacteria and the potentially serious and wide-ranging risks that they could pose to humans, other animals, plants, and the environment... In a mirror bacterium, all of the chiral molecules of existing bacteria—proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites—are replaced by their mirror images. Mirror bacteria could not evolve from existing life, but their creation will become increasingly feasible as science advances. Interactions between organisms often depend on chirality, and so interactions between natural organisms and mirror bacteria would be profoundly different from those between natural organisms. Most importantly, immune defenses and predation typically rely on interactions between chiral molecules that could often fail to detect or kill mirror bacteria due to their reversed [...] --- First published: December 12th, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/9pkjXwe2nFun32hR2/technical-report-on-mirror-bacteria-feasibility-and-risks --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Atha Energy CEO Troy Boisjoli joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has announced announced key findings from the updated 2024 Technical Report, Exploration Model and Phase I diamond drilling campaign at the company's 100%-owned Angilak Uranium Project in Nunavut. The third-party Technical Report defines a baseline Exploration Target for the Lac 50 Deposit, estimating between 60.8 M lbs and 98.2 M lbs U₃O₈, with average grades ranging from 0.37% to 0.48% U₃O₈. This establishes the Lac 50 Deposit as a cornerstone of the project's resource potential. Assay results from the Phase I drilling campaign, completed in late August, further reinforce the project's promise. Key highlights include mineralized grades of up to 5.85% U₃O₈ over 0.5 meters and the expansion of mineralized domains along the Lac 50 Trend. The program also identified additional mineralized zones in parallel trends, named Lac 48, Lac 52, and Lac 54, signaling untapped potential across the property. The Lac 50 Deposit remains open along strike and at depth, and several high-priority exploration targets, such as the Dipole and Nine Iron showings, indicate further discovery opportunities outside the main deposit area. Atha's 2024 Exploration Program focused on large step-outs from known uranium mineralization and testing parallel trends to advance the Angilak Project toward a production-scale uranium operation. The results bolster Atha Energy's position as a leading uranium exploration company with significant growth potential in Nunavut. #proactiveinvestors #athaenergycorp #tsxv #sask #otcqb #saskf #mining #uranium #AthaEnergy #ResourceExpansion #UraniumExploration #NuclearEnergy #EnergyInvesting #AngilakProject #NaturalResources #CEOInterview #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

AAP policy statements are powerful, well-researched, and meticulously-reviewed principles on the state-of-the-art in children's health.  Yesterday, the AAP released their latest Policy Statement: “Literacy Promotion: An Essential Component of Primary Care Pediatric Practice”, and an accompanying extensive Technical Report outlining the substantial supporting research evidence. Drs. Perri Klass and Pamela High, two of the lead authors of the AAP's statement and report, join us to explain their work, and the recommendations for pediatricians, policy makers, and families.

The eighth episode of the ‘FSR Policy Briefcase' breaks down the subject of 'contracts for difference' or 'CfD's' in the renewable electricity sector and explores some of the ways that innovative designs can help accelerate the energy transition. For this episode, regular hosts Leonardo Meeus and James Kneebone are joined by part-time FSR Professor and full-time DTU Professor, Lena Kitzing. The conversation takes as a point of departure the recent publication of Lena's Technical Report on this subject, co-authored with Anne Held, Malte Gephart, Fabian Wagner, Vasilios Anatolitis, and Corinna Klessmann. This episode builds on our previous two episodes with Leigh Hancher and Jean-Michel Glachant, which focused on different kinds of public and private 'long-term contracts' in general, including CfD's. In this conversation we discuss the history of CfD's, their relationship to other forms of long-term contracts and incentives within the renewable energy space, as well as the role of 'two-sided' CfD's in mitigating the damage of the recent energy crisis. Looking to the future, Lena outlines some other technologies where she feels CfD's might prove useful, including for energy storage, as well as sharing some of her views on potential future design innovations for the renewables sector!

The seventh episode of the ‘FSR Policy Briefcase' unpacks the subject of 'long-term contracts' in the electricity sector and explores some of the ways that a fresh look at this tool could help deliver the energy transition. For this episode, regular hosts Leonardo Meeus and James Kneebone are joined by part-time Professor of FSR Jean-Michel Glachant. The conversation builds on the recent publication of his Technical Report on this subject, co-authored with Guillaume Dezobry, Leigh Hancher, and Emma Menegatti. This episode follows last month's 'part 1' episode recorded with Leigh Hancher on the same subject. Part 2 focuses broadly on the application of long-term contracts, or 'LTCs' as they are more commonly referred to, as well as some of what Jean-Michel considers to be the limitations and unknowns for LTCs and their role in bringing security and competitiveness to European industry. We learn about how LTCs could have helped during the previous energy crisis, and travel back in time even further to 2006 to hear Jean-Michels views on the 'Sector Inquiry' he contributed to at the time, and how those experiences relate to present day.

Meta hat ihr neues Open-Source-Modell Llama 3.1 mit ihrem großen Modell mit 405b Parametern veröffentlicht. Llama 3.1 haben sie direkt genutzt, um ihr neues AI Studio Tool herauszubringen, bei dem alle User:innen eine eigene AI zum Chatten erstellen können und Influencer:innen auf Instagram sogar ein AI-Alter-Ego erstellen können, das DMs beantwortet. OpenAI hat in einer Beta-Phase SearchGPT released, was eine direkte Konkurrenz für Google und Perplexity darstellt. Darüber hinaus haben sie ihr neues, kleines Modell GPT-4o mini released, was nur 15 Cent für 1 Millionen Input- und 60 Cent für Output-Tokens kostet und damit 60 % günstiger als GPT 3.5 Turbo ist. Auf Apple Intelligence müssen wir wohl noch ein wenig länger warten. Die ersten Features werden erst in iOS 18.1 enthalten sein, welches aller Voraussicht nach erst im Oktober den Public Release haben wird. Damit wird das neue iPhone 16 im September nicht direkt mit Apple Intelligence kommen. Dafür hat Apple in einem Technical Report genauere Details zum Training ihrer Modelle geteilt.

The sixth episode of the ‘FSR Policy Briefcase' unpacks the subject of 'long-term contracts' in the electricity sector and explores some of the ways that a fresh look at this tool could help deliver the energy transition. For this episode, regular hosts Leonardo Meeus and James Kneebone are joined by part-time Professor of FSR Leigh Hancher. The conversation builds on the recent publication of her Technical Report on this subject, co-authored with Guillaume Dezobry, Jean-Michel Glachant, and Emma Menegatti. This is part one of a two-part series on this report. This first episode focuses on the definition and relevance of long-term contracts, or 'LTCs' as they are more commonly referred to, as well as some of what Leigh considers to be limitations or missed opportunities in the previous framing and application of these agreements in Europe in the past. We learn about the different kinds of LTCs, their uses, some important case studies shaping their governance, and how some other major global economies have successfully framed LTCs differently. Towards the end of the episode, we begin to talk about the implications of a fresh look at LTCs for driving the competitiveness and decarbonisation of European industry, an area of the report we will cover in more detail in part two next month.

We introduce phi-3-mini, a 3.8 billion parameter language model trained on 3.3 trillion tokens, whose overall performance, as measured by both academic benchmarks and internal testing, rivals that of models such as Mixtral 8x7B and GPT-3.5 (e.g., phi-3-mini achieves 69% on MMLU and 8.38 on MT-bench), despite being small enough to be deployed on a phone. The innovation lies entirely in our dataset for training, a scaled-up version of the one used for phi-2, composed of heavily filtered web data and synthetic data. The model is also further aligned for robustness, safety, and chat format. We also provide some initial parameter-scaling results with a 7B and 14B models trained for 4.8T tokens, called phi-3-small and phi-3-medium, both significantly more capable than phi-3-mini (e.g., respectively 75% and 78% on MMLU, and 8.7 and 8.9 on MT-bench). 2024: Marah Abdin, Sam Ade Jacobs, A.

Chris Ritchie, President of SilverCrest Metals ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") (TSX:SIL - NYSE:SILV) joins me to discuss the Company's 2024 guidance on silver and gold production, costs and exploration. See the table below, from the February 20th news release, that details the guidance ranges for this year at the Company's Las Chispas Project in Mexico.   I ask Chris how the costs, on the all-in sustaining cost (AISC) front, compare to the numbers outlined in the Company's Technical Report, released last year. I also have Chris compare the costs across the silver producers. We discuss how the Company is working to control costs throughout this year and into next year. On the growth front I ask about the ongoing underground development and exploration budget of between $12-14million for the year.   We all know costs have continued to rise throughout the entire mining sector. Chris outlines how SilverCrest is focused on the balance sheet, continuing to hold bullion and separating itself from the other higher cost silver producers.   If you have any follow up questions for Chris please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.   Click here to visit the SilverCrest Metals website to learn more about his silver producer.   Guidance Metric Unit 2024 Silver Equivalent (“AgEq”) Ounces million oz sold 9.8 to 10.2 Cash Costs $/oz AgEq sold 9.50 to 10.00 Corporate AISC $/oz AgEq sold 15.00 to 15.90 Sustaining Capital $ million 40.0 to 44.0 Exploration $ million 12.0 to 14.0

American Rare Earths Limited CEO Donald Swartz joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share a significant milestone for the company. American Rare Earths Limited has proudly announced the completion of the Technical Report of Exploration for its Halleck Creek Property in Wyoming. This report not only marks a comprehensive assessment of the property's exploration efforts but also includes an updated Resource estimate that showcases a remarkable increase of 64% in in-situ tonnes compared to the maiden resource estimate from September/October 2023. Swartz elaborated during the interview, detailing the significant growth in resource estimates resulting from the exploration endeavors. The updated estimate now stands at an impressive 2.34 billion tonnes, with 1.81 million tonnes consisting of 27% Magnetic Rare Earth Oxides (“MREO”) at 3,196 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides (“TREO”) using a 1,000ppm TREO cut-off. Of particular note is the measured and indicated resources, which have seen a staggering 128% increase, totaling 1.42 billion tonnes with a grade of 3,295 ppm TREO using the same 1,000ppm TREO cut-off. Furthermore, Swartz highlighted the impact of the company's 2023 drilling efforts, which have not only expanded the lateral and vertical resource extents but have also revealed that the deposit remains open at depth and along strike. This suggests the potential for further resource expansion and underscores the significance of ongoing exploration efforts in unlocking the full potential of the Halleck Creek Property. The completion of the Technical Report of Exploration and the subsequent increase in resource estimates signify a pivotal moment for American Rare Earths Limited, positioning the company for sustained growth and success in the rare earths market. With a substantial increase in resources and ongoing exploration activities, American Rare Earths Limited is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for rare earth elements and solidify its position as a key player in the industry. #proactiveinvestors #americanrareearths #asx #arr #otcqb #arrnf #mining #rareearthminerals #mineralresources #CEOinterview #resourceestimate #geology #exploration #drilling #miningeconomics #permitting #Stantec #ndpr #terbium #dysprosium #miningengineering #metallurgy #scalability #modular #globalmarket #strategicposition #progress #executingplans #miningindustry #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Arizona Silver Exploration Vice President of Exploration Greg Hahn joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has released a non-resource Technical Report on the Philadelphia Gold-Silver Property located in Arizona. This report offers a comprehensive overview of the property's current status and documents all historical exploration activities conducted there before Arizona Gold & Silver acquired the property. Hahn detailed to Proactive the contents of the report, which includes an in-depth look at the exploration efforts made by Arizona Gold & Silver. This encompasses a summary of 141 drill holes executed on the site thus far. As part of the forward-looking work plan, he mentioned that the company intends to carry out an additional 25,000 feet of reverse circulation (RC) and core drilling. This drilling will trace the strike and dip of the mineralized zones that have been identified to date, targeting areas within the existing drilling database that lack sufficient coverage. The objective is to establish enough drill density to facilitate the preparation of a maiden resource report under NI43-101 guidelines upon completion of the planned drilling activities. #proactiveinvestors #arizonasilverexplorationinc #tsxv #azs #otc #azasf #mining #gold #ExplorationNews #MiningIndustry #ResourceAssessment #PhiladelphiaProject #TechnicalReport #HighNetWorthInvestors #StrategicPartnerships #MiningUpdates #MineralExploration #Geology #DrillingPlans #PreciousMetals #GoldMining #SilverInvesting #MiningInsights #InvestmentOpportunity #MineralResources #MiningExploration #2024Outlook #GregHahnInterview #ResourceCalculation #MiningTechnology #NaturalResources #MiningInnovation#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

John Lee, CEO of Flying Nickel Mining Corp, shared insights in a recent interview. Flying Nickel Corp is a new company listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange with the symbol "FLYN," established in early 2021. The company's key project, Minago, located on the Thompson nickel belt, is notable for being one of the greenest and highest-grade open-pit nickel sulphide projects in Canada, with a nickel grade of 0.74% and over a billion pounds of nickel. Minago has seen significant development, with over $40 million invested and 85,000 meters of drilling. The company is in the final permitting stage with strong support from the Manitoba government and the local community, including the Norway House Cree Nation, which has become an investor in the company. Upon receiving final permitting, the company aims to make a construction decision in 2024. The Minago project is exceptional due to its swift progression from Greenfield discovery to construction readiness. Flying Nickel Corp has also successfully filed its independent Technical Report titled "Gibellini Vanadium Project Eureka" in Nevada. This report provides essential technical details and information about the Gibellini Vanadium Project, which is situated approximately 25 miles south of the town of Eureka. The project includes several vanadium deposits, such as Gibellini, Louie Hill, and Bisoni-McKay. Flying Nickel Corp is in the process of acquiring all the issued and outstanding common shares of Nevada Vanadium Mining, which owns the Gibellini Vanadium Project. This strategic acquisition will strengthen Flying Nickel's position in the vanadium mining sector. #Nickel #SustainableMining #BatteryMetals #GreenEnergy #Sustainability #CanadaMining #MinagoProject #NorwayHouseCreeNation #MineralExploration #EnvironmentalImpactAssessment #Manitoba #Vanadium #Nevada #EnergyStorage #RenewableEnergy #BatteryTechnology #GreenTech #MineralResources #ResourceDevelopment #InvestmentOpportunity #CEOInterview #MineralExploration #MetalMining #MiningIndustry #BatteryMetalsMerger#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence, enabling natural language processing tasks that were previously thought to be exclusive to humans. In this work, we introduce Qwen, the first installment of our large language model series. Qwen is a comprehensive language model series that encompasses distinct models with varying parameter counts. It includes Qwen, the base pretrained language models, and Qwen-Chat, the chat models finetuned with human alignment techniques. The base language models consistently demonstrate superior performance across a multitude of downstream tasks, and the chat models, particularly those trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), are highly competitive. The chat models possess advanced tool-use and planning capabilities for creating agent applications, showcasing impressive performance even when compared to bigger models on complex tasks like utilizing a code interpreter. Furthermore, we have developed coding-specialized models, Code-Qwen and Code-Qwen-Chat, as well as mathematics-focused models, Math-Qwen-Chat, which are built upon base language models. These models demonstrate significantly improved performance in comparison with open-source models, and slightly fall behind the proprietary models. 2023: Jinze Bai, Shuai Bai, Yunfei Chu, Zeyu Cui, Kai Dang, Xiaodong Deng, Yang Fan, Wenhang Ge, Yu Han, Fei Huang, Binyuan Hui, Luo Ji, Mei Li, Junyang Lin, Runji Lin, Dayiheng Liu, Gao Liu, Chengqiang Lu, K.

Good morning, and welcome to another episode of the F+L podcast. I'm your host, Vicky Denton, and today we're joined by Jeff Harmening, a senior program manager for the American Petroleum Institute (API). This is Jeff's second time on our show, and we're thrilled to have him back. Jeff is part of API's global industry services group and has been instrumental in the creation of a technical report that API recently released. This report, known as TR 1533, focuses on the life cycle assessment for lubricants, a topic of growing importance in our industry. The journey to TR 1533 began in June 2021 when API's lubricants group established a sustainability work group. This group was tasked with gathering subject matter experts from all stakeholders in the lubricants value chain. These experts, from oil marketers, base oil manufacturers, re-refiners, and lubricant additive companies, worked tirelessly to assemble the framework for TR 1533. Their hard work and dedication, coupled with a rigorous meeting cadence, allowed the group to prepare a draft for ballot with the API lubricants group in just over a year. The result was the publication of TR 1533 in May 2023. The report is available on the API website, accessible free of charge. The full title of the report is "Lubricants Life Cycle Assessment and Carbon Footprinting Methodology and Best Practice."

We report the development of GPT-4, a large-scale, multimodal model which can accept image and text inputs and produce text outputs. While less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, GPT-4 exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks, including passing a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers. GPT-4 is a Transformer-based model pre-trained to predict the next token in a document. The post-training alignment process results in improved performance on measures of factuality and adherence to desired behavior. A core component of this project was developing infrastructure and optimization methods that behave predictably across a wide range of scales. This allowed us to accurately predict some aspects of GPT-4's performance based on models trained with no more than 1/1,000th the compute of GPT-4. 2023: OpenAI Ranked #1 on Multi-task Language Understanding on MMLU https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.08774v2.pdf

Interview with Belinda Labatte, CEO & Director of Lomiko Metals (TSX-V: LMR)The Company holds mineral interests in its La Loutre graphite development in southern Quebec. The La Loutre project site is located within the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg (KZA) First Nation's territory. The KZA First Nation is part of the Algonquin Nation and the KZA traditional territory is situated within the Outaouais and Laurentides regions.​ Located 180 kilometres northwest of Montreal, the property consists of one large, continuous block with 76 mineral claims totalling 4,528 hectares (45.3 km2).The Property is underlain by rocks belonging to the Grenville Province of the Precambrian Canadian Shield.  The Grenville was formed under conditions that were very favourable for the development of coarse-grained, flake-type graphite mineralization from organic-rich material during high-temperature metamorphism.Lomiko Metals published a July 29, 2021 Preliminary Economic Estimate (PEA) which indicated the project had a 15-year mine life producing per year 100,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate at 95% Cg or a total of 1.5Mt of graphite concentrate. This report was prepared as National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report for Lomiko Metals Inc. by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc., Hemmera Envirochem Inc., Moose Mountain Technical Services, and Metpro Management Inc., collectively the Report Authors.In addition to La Loutre, Lomiko is working with Critical Elements Lithium Corporation towards earning its 70% stake in the Bourier Project as per the option agreement announced on April 27th, 2021. The Bourier project site is located near Nemaska Lithium and Critical Elements south-east of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory in Quebec which consists of 203 claims, for a total ground position of 10,252.20 hectares (102.52 km2), in Canada's lithium triangle near the James Bay region of Quebec that has historically housed lithium deposits and mineralization trends.

Westwater Resources Executive Chairman Terence Cryan joins Natalie Stoberman from the Proactive studio to discuss the company's technical report summary for its Coosa graphite deposit in Alabama. Cryan says the results of the technical study indicate that the Coosa Deposit is capable of supplying graphite concentrate to Westwater's primary Kellyton Graphite Processing Plant, with plans to vertically integrate both the Coosa Deposit and Kellyton Graphite Processing Plant.

Gratomic Inc. (TSX-V:GRAT, OTCQX:CBULF) chief operating officer Armando Farhate tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company is encouraged by the contents of a NI43-101 Technical Report, just completed for the Capim Grosso Graphite project it acquired in Brazil about a year ago. Farhate says the report lays out the next steps for developing Capim Grosso as it advances to a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). "Everything is pointing out to a very sizeable reserve that will make the deposit economically viable," he says. #ProactiveInvestors #InsertCompanyName #TSX #OTCQX #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Gen Mining's focus is the development of the Marathon Project, a large undeveloped palladium-copper deposit in Northwestern Ontario. The Company released the results of the Feasibility Study on March 3, 2021 and published the NI43-101 Technical Report dated March 25, 2021. The Marathon Property covers a land package of approximately 22,000 hectares, or 220 square kilometres. Gen Mining owns a 100% interest in the Marathon Project.

On this special rebroadcast from March of 2022, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham speak with NOAA's Dr. William Sweet, the lead author of the 2022 Sea Level Rise Technical Report. The Sea Level Rise Technical Report provides the most up-to-date sea level rise projections available for all U.S. states and territories; decision-makers will look to it for information. This multi-agency effort, representing the first update since 2017, offers projections out to the year 2150 and information to help communities assess potential changes in average tide heights and height-specific threshold frequencies as they strive to adapt to sea level rise.

Globex Mining CEO Jack Stoch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news about the company's Nordeau gold royalty property located east of Val-d'Or, Quebec. Stock sharing with Proactive, a new NI 43-101 Technical Report has been filed by Cartier Resources on the West Nordeau gold deposit. The West Nordeau claim block now shows 311,000 troy ounces of gold which is more than double the previous 2009 resource calculation. #proactiveinvestors #globexminingenterprisesinc #TSX #OTCQX #mining #gold

TUDOR GOLD Corp. is a precious and base metals exploration and development company with properties in British Columbia's Golden Triangle (Canada), an area that hosts producing and past-producing mines and several large deposits that are approaching potential development. The 17,913 hectare Treaty Creek project (in which TUDOR GOLD has a 60% interest) borders Seabridge Gold Inc.'s KSM property to the southwest and borders Newcrest Mining Limited's Brucejack property to the southeast. In April 2021 Tudor published their 43-101 technical report, “Technical Report and Initial Mineral Resource Estimate of the Treaty Creek Gold Property, Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia Canada” dated March 1, 2021, on the Company's Sedar profile. The Company also has a 100% interest in the Crown project and a 100% interest in the Eskay North project, all located in the Golden Triangle area.

Nickel North CEO Tony Guo joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company has released an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hawk Ridge Nickel-Nickel-Cobalt Project in Northern Québec. Guo telling Proactive the numbers are much improved including Total Inferred Mineral Resources for four deposits increasing by 76.6% to 34.66 Mt at 0.22%, 0.56% Cu, 0.013% Co, 0.19 g/t Pd, 0.05 g/t Pt and 0.025 g/t Au. Total Pit-Constrained Inferred Mineral Resources at a CDN$35/t NSR cut-off increase by 50% to 29.44 Mt at 0.20% Ni, 0.52% Cu, 0.012% Co, 0.19 g/t Pd, 0.04 g/t Pt and 0.021 g/t Au, which equates to 0.56% NiEq. Guo also said no drilling has been done since 2014 so the entire project is open for more exploration.

Tune in to hear your favorite hosts debunk myths and validate rumors you've heard about all the possible LSAT accommodations and modifications. Tune in to learn . . . What kinds of accommodations and modifications are available for students with disabilities? How do students get these accommodations? What proof do you need? Do accommodations raise students' test scores such that they are not predictive of aptitude for law school? Do accommodations make the LSAT easier? Are accommodations just for the privileged? Will schools know if you had accommodations? Do you automatically get accommodations on the LSAT if you have accommodations on other standardized tests?

Our guest today is Pasi Sahlberg, a Professor of Education Policy at the Gonski Institute for Education at UNSW Sydney. He joins Teacher to discuss the ongoing research project he’s been working on that explores how the widespread use of media and digital technologies is impacting the wellbeing, health and learning of Australian children. The findings have been published in the Growing Up Digital Australia: Phase 1 Technical Report, co-written with Dr Amy Graham, a Research Fellow at the Gonski Institute. To give you a bit of a snapshot, the first phase of the study asked teachers and school principals to compare what they are observing in their schools and classrooms regarding students’ use of media and digital technologies, to what was happening three to five years ago. A total of 1876 respondents completed the survey, three-quarters of them were female and, for the most part, respondents were experienced educators, with 48 per cent of the sample having more than 20 years’ teaching experience. Half of the respondents were classroom teachers, 30 per cent were principals and the remainder were involved in early childhood settings, school administration and temporary teaching positions. In our interview, we delve deep into the findings to come from the study and Pasi shares his insights into how digital technologies impact a child’s readiness to learn in the classroom.

Thema heute:    KIT: Datenschutzfreundliche Corona-Tracing-App Das Ermitteln von Kontaktpersonen ist eine der wichtigsten Maßnahmen, um die Ausbreitung des Coronavirus einzudämmen. Tracing-Apps sollen dabei helfen: Mit ihr können diejenigen benachrichtigt werden, die sich in einem definierten Zeitraum in der Nähe der infizierten Person aufgehalten haben. Doch die technische Umsetzung birgt Missbrauchsgefahr und die bisherigen Ansätze schützen nicht in vollem Umfang die Privatsphäre. In den vergangenen Wochen ist eine intensive Diskussion um mögliche zentrale oder dezentrale Lösungen für Tracing-Apps und ihre Datensicherheit entbrannt. Dabei geht es vor allem auch um die Frage, ob diese Ansätze die Privatsphäre der Nutzerinnen und Nutzer ausreichend schützen. Einen dualen Ansatz, der einen stärkeren Datenschutz auch gegenüber aktiven Angreifern garantiert, haben deshalb jetzt Wissenschaftler des Kompetenzzentrums KASTEL am KIT und des Kompetenzzentrums IT-Sicherheit am Forschungszentrums Informatik (FZI), eines Innovationspartners des KIT, erarbeitet. Diese App würde die Vorteile von zentralem und dezentralem Ansatz kombinieren und so höheren Datenschutz bieten.  Die Ergebnisse haben sie in einem Technical Report veröffentlicht. Die Wissenschaftler wollen die Daten, wie bei den bisherigen dezentralen Ansätzen, lokal auf den Mobiltelefonen speichern und sie dann nur im Fall der positiven Diagnose auf zentrale Server laden. „Auf den Servern findet dann auch der Abgleich der Kontaktpersonen statt. So können wir verschleiern, wer infiziert ist. Dies ist bei einem rein dezentralen Konzept nicht möglich“, so Jörn Müller-Quade, Professor für Kryptographie und Sicherheit am KIT und Direktor am FZI. „Gleichzeitig haben wir den Server aufgeteilt, sodass keine einzelne Partei allein irgendwelche sensitiven Informationen abgreifen kann. Dabei könnte beispielsweise ein Server vom Robert Koch-Institut und andere von großen Firmen betrieben werden.“ Selbst wenn alle diese Server kompromittiert seien, erreiche das Verfahren immer noch die gleichen Sicherheitseigenschaften wie die bisherigen Ansätze – solange sie nicht böswillig miteinander kooperieren. Schutz gegen unnötige und gefälschte Warnmeldungen Der Vorschlag der Wissenschaftler beinhaltet außerdem, dass der Anwender beispielsweise gegenüber medizinischen Fachleuten sicher beweisen kann, dass er Kontakt mit einer erkrankten Person hatte, um sich auf COVID-19 testen zu lassen. Ohne diese Funktion könnte jeder einen Test fordern, indem er einen Screenshot einer Warnung von einem fremden Smartphone zeigt. Um unnötige und potenziell panikauslösende Warnungen vor Kontakten zu vermeiden, wird die Information über ein Infektionsrisiko erst nach einem bestimmten Zeitraum ausgegeben.   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

In the last 20 years, proposal professionals have done a lot of work in developing best practices around the proposal process, defining the skills and competencies required to craft a winning RFP. But we have yet to clearly define what professionalism means for our trade craft in terms of mindset or attitude. So, how has the proposal industry evolved over time? How can our community set the trends for a better future? How do we want others to see us? Ajay Patel has an extensive history in the proposal space, developing expertise in entrepreneurship, strategic partnerships, and business development. Today, he serves as the President and CEO of SMA, a management consulting firm that helps its clients compete to win business. Ajay received an MBA in Strategy and Finance from USC's Marshall School of Business and a BA in Physics from Johns Hopkins. On this episode, Ajay joins us to share a historical perspective on the evolution of the proposal industry and weigh in on the areas the community should look at moving forward. He explores the possibility of creating a process for proposal strategy, the development of visual literacy, and the pivotal role narrative plays in the RFP response. Listen in to understand the five models of nonfiction storytelling and learn Ajay's take on what professionalism means in our trade craft.

When the Wall Street Journal calls your Gold Report "The Gold Standard Of Gold Research", it is safe to say you are a global influencer and expert in all things gold. This is Ronnie Stoeferle, whose "In Gold We Trust" report has also been downloaded 1.8 million times in English, German and Mandarin in case anyone had any doubt as to his expertise. Today, Ronnie became the founding member of the Affinity Metals (AFF:TSXV) Advisory Board, which implies that we can expect others to be appointed. Why would Ronnie join a company with a market cap under $5,000,000? You'll have to watch the interview to find out ... but here are a couple of hints: 1. Affinity Metals flagship project, the Regal, has reported HISTORICAL reserves of 590,703 tonnes grading 71.6 grams per tonne silver, 2.66 per cent lead, 1.26 per cent zinc, 1.1 per cent copper, 0.13 per cent tin and 0.015 per cent tungsten. These were prepated prior to 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon until they are brought into compliance with 43-101 standards. 2. A Technical Report, which was prepared in 1971 using a silver price of $1.75 per troy ounce, makes a positive recommendation for production, including the establishment of a 500 ton per day concentrator with a 400 ton per day silver, lead and zinc circuit and a 100 ton per day tin, tungsten and copper circuit. These are just 2 factors that led Ronnie to declare that Affnity Metals is "one of the largest investments in my private portfolio". Grab your favourite beverage, kick back and watch this great interview with both Ronnie and Affinity CEO, Rob Edwards.

Amandine Denis is Head of Research at ClimateWorks Australia about the Technical Report: Could Boosting Energy Productivity Improve Your Investment Performance?

Ein Graph ist eine Menge von Knoten und Kanten zwischen diesen Knoten. Man unterscheidet zwischen gerichteten Graphen, wo Einbahnstraßen darstellbar sind, oder den ungerichteten Graphen, wo Beziehungen zwischen zwei Knoten immer beidseitig sind. Beispiele sind die graphische Darstellung von Beziehungen in einem sozialen Netz oder Straßennetze, für deren Verarbeitung das Forschungsgebiet von Christian Schulz immer bedeutender wird, wie wir in seinem Gespräch mit Gudrun Thäter erfahren.Eine wichtige Aufgabe im Umgang mit Graphen ist die Aufteilung (oder fachsprachlich Partitionierung), von Graphen in kleinere Teile. Dies kommt z.B. der Parallelisierung der Arbeit auf den Graphen zugute, und ist unumgänglich, wenn Graphen eine Größe haben, die nicht mehr von einem Prozessor bearbeitet werden kann. Ein wichtiges Merkmal ist hier, die Aufteilung möglichst gleichmäßig vorzunehmen, damit die Aufteilung von z.B. Rechenzeit gleichmäßig erfolgt, und gleichzeitig wenig Kommunikation zwischen der Bearbeitung der Einzelteile erforderlich ist. Es geht um eine möglichst gute Skalierbarkeit der Graphverarbeitung.Ein wichtiges Anwendungsproblem ist die Routenplanung, bei der zwischen zwei Punkten auf der Erde die zeitlich kürzeste Verbindung berechnet werden soll. In der Informatik ist der Dijkstra-Algorithmus der passende Basis-Algorithmus für diese Aufgabe, doch er ist für große Graphen in seiner ursprünglichen Form sehr ineffizient. In Kombination mit einer passenden Graphpartitionierung und Algorithmen kann man das Verfahren deutlich effizienter ausführen und beschleunigen.Ein klassisches Verfahren zur Aufteilung ist das Mehrschichtverfahren über die Laplace-Matrix, wo ausgenutzt wird, dass zwischen den Eigenwerten der Matrix und der Schnittstruktur des Graphen enge Zusammenhänge bestehen. Dieses Verfahren wurde zum Mehrschichtverfahren für Graphen weiterentwickelt, bei dem in einer sogenannten Kontraktion benachbarte Knoten und parallele Kanten jeweils zusammengeführt werden, und der Graph zu einem kleinen und kantengewichteten Graph vereinfacht wird. Schließlich wird das Problem auf einem vereinfachten, groben Gitter gelöst, und dann jeweils mit lokalen Suchen auf feinere Graphen erweitert. Für die Kontraktion werden Heuristiken und Kantenbewertungsfunktionen verwendet.Ein weiterer Ansatz sind auch evolutionäre Algorithmen. Dabei wurde eine allgemeinere Umgebung geschaffen, die auf eine weite Klasse von Optimierungsproblemen angewendet werden kann.Die Graphentheorie ist natürlich auch Teil der diskreten Mathematik, und besonders berühmt ist auch das Traveling Salesperson Problem. Gleichzeitig ist das Thema aber auch in der Theoretischen Informatik, im Algorithm Engineering und in der Software-Entwicklung beheimatet.Literatur und Zusatzinformationen C.
