The Mistral Small 3 AI model is a 24billionparameter LLM with latency optimisation intended for efficiency and speed. It is competitive with Metas Llama 3.3 70B model and, according to the Parisbased AI company, performs better than OpenAIs GPT4o mini despite being smaller. Unrestricted use for both commercial and academic purposes is permitted under the Apache 2.0 license. Unlike many other models, it was not taught using artificial intelligence or reinforcement learning. Secure local inference, lowlatency function calling, and quick response chatbots are all perfect uses for this paradigm, which can even operate covertly on a single Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU. Mistral Small 3 is accessible to developers on Hugging Face and elsewhere. B2B Tech News | 2 months ago

RBI’s $5 Billion Dollar/Rupee Swap Auction Set to Attract Strong Interest
On Friday, six bankers predict substantial interest from banks and corporate treasuries in the Reserve Bank of Indias RBI 5 billion dollar/rupee buyse
On Friday, six bankers predict substantial interest from banks and corporate treasuries in the Reserve Bank of Indias RBI 5 billion dollar/rupee buysell swap auction. This sixmonth dollar/rupee swap is a component of the RBIs plan to counteract the rupees depreciation by injecting roughly 1.5 trillion rupees $17.33 billion into the banking system. The RBI will buy spot dollars at the auction to improve rupee liquidity and temporarily decrease dollar availability. Corporate treasuries are expected to take part in obtaining forward money. There are differing views on the precise premium levels. Still, most bankers believe the auction will see significant oversubscription and that the cutoff premium will be near current market rates. The auction is designed to accommodate multiple bids at different prices, with the RBIs ongoing interventions likely to stabilize the auction cutoff levels. B2B Tech News | 2 months ago

Following a $1.4 billion loan deal with the International Monetary Fund IMF, El Salvador is enacting changes to the usage of Bitcoin in its industrial and banking sectors. The government has made Bitcoin payments optional for local retailers to meet IMF requirements. The countrys legislature supported this choice, with only two parliamentarians voting against the reform and 55 in favour. According to lawmaker Elisa Rosales, the legislation would improve Bitcoins status as legal cash and encourage its practical application. The IMF agreement, reached in December 2024, stipulates that taxes must only be collected in US dollars and include steps to restrict the public sectors exposure to Bitcoin. El Salvadors prior cryptofriendly policies attracted Web3 firms, but the country faced IMF scrutiny since April 2024 due to its Bitcoin legislation. B2B Tech News | 2 months ago

Despite the rise of inexpensive AI models like Chinas DeepSeek, Blackstone said on Thursday that its significant data centre investments are still substantial. According to the alternative asset manager, physical infrastructure is essential for AI operations, which oversees $80 billion in leased data centres. Jonathan Grey, president and COO of Blackstone emphasised the companys strategic approach and collaborations with prominent international companies. Even though DeepSeeks launch has raised questions about possible effects on demand for data centres, Grey thinks lower prices may encourage broader AI use, increasing the demand for data centres. Jefferies analysts concurred, stating that hyperscalers are unlikely to cut back on their capital spending as AI competition heats up. Despite these reassurances, Blackstones shares fell nearly 4% in afternoon trading. B2B Tech News | 2 months ago
