DeepSeek-V3 📊: A new step toward more accessible and powerful AI for everyone 🧠💻!
Chinese startup DeepSeek has just released its DeepSeek-V3-0324 model, which contains 685 billion parameters (parameters are settings that AI adjusts during learning) 🤖📊. When running on a Mac Studio with the M3 Ultra chip 🍏, the model can achieve up to 20 tokens per second ⏱️. It is open-source and free for commercial use, offering a massive performance leap compared to models like Sonnet 3.5 from Anthropic 🚀📈.
The model’s innovative architecture uses the “mixture-of-experts” approach (activating only parts of the model to increase efficiency), meaning it is less resource-intensive ⚡💡. This allows top-tier AI to run without expensive data centers, opening new possibilities for developers using consumer-grade hardware 🖥️🔧.
DeepSeek’s quiet launch signals a shift toward more accessible, open-source AI that could revolutionize the industry 🌍🔄.

AI doubles its capabilities every 7 months – prepare for new challenges 📅⚖️!
AI is learning to handle complex tasks faster than ever ⚡🤖. A recent study (Measuring the Task Lengths AI Models Can Complete) shows that AI is increasingly able to tackle longer tasks, with its abilities doubling every 7 months 📊⏳.
This means that in a few years, AI could autonomously complete projects that currently take humans days or weeks 🗓️. While AI already outperforms humans in areas like text prediction 📝, it still struggles with long and multi-step tasks 🧠❌.
If this trend continues, by the end of the decade, we could see AI handling projects lasting months 📅🚀. This development could have significant positive and negative impacts ⚖️. As AI improves, it’s crucial to be ready for both its possibilities and challenges 🛠️🌍.

AI helps individuals match team performance, according to a study at Procter & Gamble 👥📊.
A study with 776 professionals at Procter & Gamble revealed that AI—specifically GPT-4—significantly boosts individual performance 🤖📈. People who worked alone with AI achieved the same results as two-person teams 👥, completing tasks 12-16% faster ⏱️ and producing higher quality and more detailed solutions 📝.
AI also helped combine technical and business perspectives, leading to more balanced solutions ⚖️. Interestingly, less experienced employees using AI achieved performance similar to experts 👩💻👨💻.
Working with AI also improved the overall work experience—participants reported higher satisfaction 😊 and less frustration compared to those who didn’t use AI 😓. This suggests that AI is not just a productivity tool, but also a collaboration aid that boosts team morale 🤝🌟.

AI Labyrinth ⚙️: Cloudflare's new tool redirects scraper bots to fake pages 🕸️🚫.
Cloudflare has introduced a new tool, AI Labyrinth, designed to protect websites from scraper bots—automated tools that collect data from websites without permission 🕸️🤖. Instead of blocking them directly, it redirects the bots to fake AI-generated pages, which contain no useful information 🚫📜. The bots waste resources, slow down, and get confused 🤯.
Cloudflare processes over 50 billion requests from crawlers daily 🌐🔄. While it already has tools for blocking malicious bots, these bots adapt quickly ⚙️. AI Labyrinth allows for more effective detection and monitoring of their behavior 🕵️♂️💻.
By pulling bots into the “labyrinth” of fake pages, Cloudflare can identify harmful bots faster without impacting regular users 👨💻👩💻. This is just the beginning—they plan to create even more complex networks of deceptive pages 🧩🌍.

OpenAI launches Sora tool for users in Europe, including Slovakia 🎥🇪🇺!
OpenAI has made its Sora tool available to users in Europe, including Slovakia 🇪🇺🤖. It’s an AI tool for creating short videos based on text prompts 🎥, but there’s a catch—it’s only available to ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscribers 💸.
For $20 per month, Plus subscribers get 50 credits, which can be used to create 5-second videos in 720p 🎬. Pro subscribers, at $200 per month, receive 500 credits, Full HD (1080p) videos, and no watermarks 🚫🔖.
Sora works similarly to DALL·E—you can input text or upload an image, but instead of generating images, it creates videos 🎥✨. The quality of the output can vary depending on the input, but it’s an exciting tool for anyone interested in AI video creation—as long as they have the right subscription 🧑💻🔑.
