Anthropic is raising funds at a valuation up to $40 billion ahead of anticipated major releases. OpenAI launched new reasoning models o1 and o1-mini, with increased rate limits and a multilingual MMLU benchmark. Alibaba released the open-source Qwen2.5 model supporting 29+ languages, showing competitive performance to gpt-4 at lower cost. Microsoft and Blackrock plan to invest $30 billion in AI data centers, with Groq partnering with Aramco to build the world's largest AI inference center. Robotics advances include Disney Research and ETH Zurich's diffusion-based motion generation for robots and Pudu Robotics' semi-humanoid robot. Slack and Microsoft introduced AI-powered agents integrated into their platforms. Research highlights include long-context scaling for llama-2-70b using Dual Chunk Attention and KV cache quantization enabling 1 million token context on llama-7b models.
