It has been revealed that OpenAI is working on a covert AI project called "Strawberry" with the goal of improving AI thinking abilities.

This is a major advancement in AIs capacity to comprehend context, reason, and work through complex issues on its own. Sources claim Strawberry expands on previous efforts like Q*, which is renowned for using sophisticated reasoning to solve challenging maths and scientific issues, even though specifics remain proprietary.

Hedge Funds Target South Koreas Chipmakers SK Hynix, Samsung Amid AI Boom

A growing number of hedge funds are concentrating on South Koreas chipmakers, especially Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, attracted by the predicted demand for premium memory chips from artificial intelligence. Despite playing a crucial role in the AI industry, funds such as Man Group, FengHe Fund Management, CloudAlpha Capital Management, and East Eagle Asset Management believe these companies are undervalued compared to rivals like Taiwans TSMC. Investor confidence is further reinforced by government assistance programmes, such as the $19 billion semiconductor industry support package in South Korea and steps to increase shareholder returns. With confidence in the IT sectors growth potential despite dangers like currency fluctuations and market rules, South Korean stocks have attracted considerable inflows, propelling the KOSPI index to its highest month in seven months.

Alphabet Halts Talks to Acquire HubSpot Amid Regulatory Scrutiny

A person familiar with the situation claims that Googles parent company, Alphabet, has chosen against pursuing a purchase of internet marketing softwa

A person familiar with the situation claims that Googles parent company, Alphabet, has chosen against pursuing a purchase of internet marketing software business HubSpot. Before abruptly ending, the Alphabet and HubSpot talks stayed within the preliminary stages and never reached the point of due diligence. This decision was made despite prior rumours from April that Alphabet was thinking about making a $25 billion takeover offer for HubSpot. The acquisition would have been Alphabets most significant transaction if it had gone through. However, antitrust authorities could have scrutinised the deal because of growing worries about the concentration of the tech sector. In the face of economic uncertainty brought on by rising borrowing rates, HubSpot—known for its inbound marketing software designed specifically for small and mediumsized businesses—has been negotiating problems connected to client demand.

China recently changed its methodology for estimating the financial sectors economic contribution, moving from emphasising the growth of loans and deposits to considering profitability factors like net interest income and fees. With effect from early 2024, this modification attempts to reduce distortions brought about by inflated balance sheets intended to fulfil GDP objectives and to give a more realistic picture of the sectors valueadded. The prior approach frequently exaggerated the financial sectors economic impact since it primarily focused on increasing assets and liabilities. The modification is a part of more significant initiatives to improve the effectiveness and openness of loan distribution, indicating a change in economic measures towards a preference for quality over quantity. This action may result in the financial sector contributing less in the face of persistent difficulties like an earnings crisis. Read More..
