Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAEs national security advisor, met with former President Donald Trump and committed to a 10year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States. This investment will concentrate on industries including manufacturing, electronics, energy, and AI infrastructure. Two major projects are a $1.2 billion mining cooperation for essential minerals and a $25 billion energy infrastructure project by UAEs ADQ and Energy Capital Partners. Emirates Global Aluminium intends to almost double domestic production by constructing the first new aluminium smelter in the United States in 35 years. This framework emphasises the UAEs goal of expanding its worldwide investment footprint and strategic economic connections with the United States. B2B Tech News | 1 months ago

The official YouTube account of Costa Rica was briefly compromised due to a cyberattack. Videos about cryptocurrencies were uploaded, and the account featured a logo that read "Strategy" followed by a Bitcoin symbol. In an effort to restore control, the administration worked with specialists from the Science and Technology Ministry, Google, and the presidency to clarify that these movies were not approved. There were no reported compromises of sensitive data throughout the severalhourlong attack. The culprits have not been identified. This incident serves as a reminder of the increasing cybersecurity issues that governments around the world are facing. B2B Tech News | 1 months ago

With assistance from Microsoft, Google, and the Alan Turing Institute, researchers from the University of Cambridge have launched Aardvark Weather, a groundbreaking AIdriven forecasting system. This approach provides projections in minutes on a desktop computer with just one machinelearning model, replacing conventional supercomputerdependent techniques. Compared to current systems, Aardvark is thousands of times faster and requires fewer processing resources. It generates global and hyperlocal forecasts by analysing data from sensors, weather stations, and satellites. With only 10% of the input data, the systems accuracy has surpassed that of the U.S. Global Forecast System. Weather forecasting could be revolutionised by Aardvarks efficiency and adaptability, which would assist sectors including disaster relief, renewable energy, and agriculture.

OpenAI has unveiled three new audio models through its API GPT4otranscribe, GPT4ominitranscribe, and GPT4ominitts. These models improve texttospeech and speechtotext capabilities, increasing accuracy and dependability even in difficult situations like loud surroundings or strong accents. Developed on top of GPT4o and GPT4omini, they perform better than OpenAIs earlier Whisper models. Developers can now develop applications with agentic workflows, allowing for the automation of customer support and creative storytelling. Although the texttospeech model only enables preset voices, it offers emotional expressiveness and customisable inflexions. With these developments, voice agents should become more flexible and intuitive. These models have also been incorporated into OpenAIs Agents SDK, which makes creating audioenabled apps easier. Through OpenAIs API, developers can access the models. B2B Tech News | 1 months ago

Tencents introduction of its T1 reasoning model has increased rivalry in Chinas artificial intelligence market. With the help of Tencents Turbo S fundamental language model, the model provides improved text processing skills and quicker reaction times. Its content logic is straightforward, and its hallucination rate is low. Significantly, Tencents T1 model beats DeepSeeks R1 model in several benchmarks. Tencent hopes to improve its standing in the quickly changing AI market with the official version, which was first tested through the Yuanbao AI assistant app. The business has been increasing its investments in AI, and in 2025, it intends to spend more. With this launch, Tencent demonstrates its dedication to developing AI technology and taking on domestic and international competitors. B2B Tech News | 1 months ago

The benchmark interest rate will remain steady, the South African Reserve Bank SARB said, citing worries about inflation and the state of the world economy. The central bank strives to strike a balance between price stability and economic growth in the face of external challenges, including shifting commodity prices and geopolitical unrest. Inflationary threats, poor economic growth, and a weak currency are some of the ongoing issues facing South Africa. SARB continues to exercise caution and regularly monitors local inflation trends, economic performance, and international financial conditions before making any changes. Although the ruling gives borrowers stability, analysts predict that further rate reductions will be contingent upon less inflation and a stronger economy. In order to sustain longterm economic resilience and preserve financial stability, the central bank reiterated its commitment.
