Meet Devin

In today’s AI news, Backed by $200 million in funding, Scott Wu and his team at Cognition are building an AI tool that could potentially disintegrate the whole industry, at a $2 Billion valuation. Devin is an autonomous AI agent that, in theory, writes the code itself—no people involved—and can complete entire projects typically assigned to developers.

In other advancements, OpenAI is changing how it trains AI models to explicitly embrace “intellectual freedom … no matter how challenging or controversial a topic may be,” the company says in a new policy. OpenAI is releasing a significantly expanded version of its Model Spec, a document that defines how its AI models should behave — and is making it free for anyone to use or modify.

Then, xAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, is set to launch Grok 3 on Monday, Feb. 17. According to xAI, this latest version of its chatbot, which Musk describes as “scary smart,” represents a major step forward, improving reasoning, computational power and adaptability. Grok 3’s development was accelerated by its Colossus supercomputer, which was built in just eight months, powered by 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs.

And, large language models can learn complex reasoning tasks without relying on large datasets, according to a new study by researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Their findings show that with just a small batch of well-curated examples, you can train an LLM for tasks that were thought to require tens of thousands of training instances.

S new o1 model, which focuses on slower, more deliberate reasoning — much like how humans think — in order to solve complex problems. ” + Then, join Turing Award laureate Yann LeCun—Chief AI Scientist at Meta and Professor at NYU—as he discusses with Link Ventures’ John Werner, the future of artificial intelligence and how open-source development is driving innovation. In this wide-ranging conversation, LeCun explains why AI systems won’t “take over” but will instead serve as empowering assistants.

Meanwhile, when confronted with a constant stream of new AI tools, it can be stressful to make the best choice, especially with hype of “the next big thing. In the opening keynote from the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference, Gartner experts Autumn Stanish, Hassan Ennaciri and Roger Williams equip you with insights and guidance on the AI, cloud and platform trends.

We close out with expert panel, at AI House, led by Moderator Mina Al-Oraibi, The National delves into how a globally integrated AI ecosystem can revolutionize smart cities by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and citizen well-being. Panelists include; Thomas Pramotedham Presight, Juan Lavista Ferres, Microsoft AI For Good Research Lab, Guillem Martínez Roura, International Telecommunications Union, and Anna Gawlikowska, SwissAI.

What do you think of a car that can drive itself from the factory straight to your home? A car that will automatically head to the police station if someone tries to steal it or take you to the hospital if you lose consciousness while driving. Or simply, it allows you to enjoy a deep, restful sleep after work and wake up right at your doorstep.
Recently, Elon Musk and his team confidently announced that this vehicle would be available to consumers at just one-fifth the ticket price of Waymo, an incredible deal for two passengers! And you can rest assured about safety, as it has been verified to be 8.5 times safer than a traditional human-driven car.
In today’s episode, we’ll compile all the latest updates on its performance, impressive specifications, final pricing, and a detailed breakdown of its production process, all packed into this 19 minutes. Welcome to Tesla Car World!
As Tesla said the new Cybercab could cost Tesla only half as much to manufacture as a Model Y. This means ticket prices could be significantly lower compared to Waymo, which charges nearly five times the price of a Robotaxi and incurs much higher operating costs due to extensive mapping requirements. This presents a massive profit opportunity for Tesla while offering an incredibly affordable fare for up to two passengers!
Moreover, for the price of a bus ticket—which isn’t always the most pleasant experience—you get a private space, your own cabin. You can relax, sleep, work, entertain yourself, watch a great movie, and travel in the most comfortable and efficient way possible aboard Tesla’s Cybercab.

Elon Musk-Led Group Makes $97.4 Billion Bid for Control of OpenAI

In today’s AI news, a consortium of investors led by Elon Musk is offering $97.4 billion to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI. The unsolicited offer adds a complication to Altman’s carefully laid plans for OpenAI’s future, including converting it to a for-profit company and spending up to $500 billion on AI infrastructure through a JV called Stargate.

In other advancements, all eyes were on French President Emmanuel Macron Sunday at the end of the first day of the AI Action Summit in Paris after he announced a €109 billion investment package. “For me, this summit is not just the announcement of a lot of investment in France. It’s a wake-up call for a European strategy,” he said.

And, Current AI, a “public interest” initiative focused on fostering and steering development of artificial intelligence in societally beneficial directions, was announced at the French AI Action summit on Monday. It’s kicking off with an initial $400 million in pledges from backers and a plan to pull in $2.5 billion more over the next five years.

Then, ZDNET contributor Jack Wallen reports his local AI of choice is the open-source Ollama. He recently wrote a piece on how to make using this local LLM easier with the help of a browser extension, which he uses on Linux. But on MacOS devices, Jack turns to an easy-to-use, free app called Msty.

In videos, At the AI Action Summit in Paris, Yann LeCun underscored a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence—one that moves beyond the brute-force approach of large language models in his presentation, “The Next AI Revolution”. The future of AI hinges on *world models*—structured, adaptive representations that can infer, reason, and plan.

And, DeepSeek is not a threat to OpenAI says, Sridhar Ramaswamy, CEO Snowflake, the $60BN public company with $3.5BN in revenue growing 30% per year. Sridhar joined Snowflake following his company, Neeva, being acquired by them for $150M. Mr. Ramaswamy spent 15 years growing Google’s AdWords from $1.5B to over $100B.

Then, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt with Alliant founder Craig Mundie talk with David Rubenstein about the promise, and potential peril, of a new frontier in artificial intelligence — and their collaboration with the late Henry Kissinger on his final book, Genesis.

Tesla’s Graffiti Revolution | From Concrete To Art: Giga Berlin’s Unique Makeover

#GigaBerlinArt #TechPainters #RoboticMuralist.
At Tesla’s Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, creativity meets technology in a remarkable initiative to transform concrete surfaces into stunning artworks. Inspired by Elon Musk’s vision to turn the factory into a canvas, the project began with local graffiti crews. However, the sheer scale of the endeavor required innovative solutions, leading to the collaboration with a robotic muralist startup. This groundbreaking graffiti printer combines cutting-edge technology with artistry, using a triangulation method to maneuver its print head along factory walls. With 12 paint cans onboard, the robot sprays precise dots of color—10 million per wall and 300 million for the west side alone—creating intricate designs composed of five distinct colors. The curated artworks draw inspiration from Berlin’s vibrant culture, Tesla’s groundbreaking products, and the factory itself—described as “the machine that builds the machine.” A blend of global and in-house artistic talent has contributed to the ongoing project, making Giga Berlin not just a hub for innovation but also a celebration of art and ingenuity.
