Every breakthrough in AI was in the US? Wasn't SGD a breakthrough? (from Leon Botou in France) Weren't CNN a breakthrough? (from Yann Lecun in France) Wasn't stable diffusion a breakthrough? (From Germany) Wasn't ViT a breathrough? (from Switzerland, at least partly) Wasn't

Rather than weakening China's AI capabilities, US sanctions appear to be driving startups like DeepSeek to innovate by prioritizing efficiency and collaboration
The AI community is abuzz over DeepSeek R1, a new open-source reasoning model. — The model was developed by the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek …

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for “foundational discoveries” in machine learning
had not seen them in any of the sweepstakes ahead of the announcement. But if everything is either physics or stamp collecting we just promoted machine learning to “physics”. (Love...
