GOOGLE QUIETLY ANNOUNCES ITS NEXT FLAGSHIP AI MODEL

Google revealed its next-gen flagship AI model, Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental, in a changelog for its Gemini chatbot app. The model was available to Gemini Advanced users beginning Thursday, but Google has since removed the mention of the model from its changelog. The new model provides better factuality and stronger performance for coding and mathematics-related tasks. It is still in early preview and can display unexpected behaviors. The model doesn't have access to real-time information and isn't compatible with some of the app's features.

SCALING OUR RATE LIMITS TO PREPARE FOR A BILLION ACTIVE CERTIFICATES

Let's Encrypt, a free certificate authority, faced challenges scaling its rate-limiting system to handle over 550 million websites and 340,000 certificate requests per hour. Its initial MariaDB-based system wasn't enough, as it caused slowdowns and frustrated users with long wait times. To address this, the company migrated to a Redis-based system that used the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA), allowing it to handle a billion active certificates and even addressing the issue of "zombie clients" making repeated failed requests.

OPENAI IN TALKS FOR HUGE INVESTMENT ROUND VALUING IT UP TO $300 BILLION

OpenAI is in early talks to raise up to $40 billion in a funding round led by SoftBank. SoftBank, which will invest between $15 billion to $25 billion, is helping assemble investors for the rest of the round. The round would value OpenAI as high as $300 billion - the AI startup was last valued at $157 billion in October. The funding will be used to help OpenAI fulfill its roughly $18 billion commitment to the Stargate project, which will construct new data centers in the US to power OpenAI's technology.

FDA APPROVES NEW CLASS OF PAINKILLER – THE FIRST IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of a novel painkiller called suzetrigine for the treatment of short-term moderate-to-severe pain in adults. The new drug is the first of a new class of analgesics that aren't addictive. It selectively targets a sodium channel critical to pain signaling in the peripheral nervous system, inhibiting pain signals from being sent to the brain. The drug is not an opioid, which means that medical professionals now have an alternative to treating pain that doesn't require using a potentially addictive analgesic.

OPENAI PARTNERS WITH U.S. NATIONAL LABORATORIES ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, NUCLEAR WEAPONS SECURITY

The US National Laboratories will be using OpenAI's AI models for scientific research and nuclear weapons security. Up to 15,000 scientists working at the National Laboratories will be able to access OpenAI's reasoning-focused o1 series. The new partnership will involve scientists using OpenAI's technology to enhance cybersecurity to protect the US power grid, identify new approaches to treating and preventing disease, deepen the understanding of fundamental mathematics and physics, and work on nuclear weapons. OpenAI will also work with Microsoft to deploy one of its models on a supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
