"Recent legislative changes aimed at countering Western sanctions have led to an increase in the use of bitcoin and other digital currencies for international payments by Russian companies," said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. Sanctions have hampered Russias trade with essential allies like China and Turkey, as local banks are cautious about dealing with Russia to evade regulatory attention from the West. During this year, Russia established itself as a global leader in bitcoin mining by legalising cryptocurrencies in international trade and taking steps to control cryptocurrency mining. "Transactions using mined bitcoins are already happening and are anticipated to grow even more in the upcoming year," Siluanov said. Vladimir Putin has also supported cryptocurrencies, pointing to the US dollars deteriorating reserve currency role due to political abuse. Read More..

Microsoft to Reduce Reliance on OpenAI for 365 Copilot with New AI Integrations

Microsoft is attempting to lessen its dependency on OpenAIs artificial intelligence AI models by including nonOpenAI models in its 365 Copilot product

Microsoft is attempting to lessen its dependency on OpenAIs artificial intelligence AI models by including nonOpenAI models in its 365 Copilot products. This is mainly because of concerns regarding cost and speed. Both inhouse and externally generated AI models may be used in this strategic change. When 365 Copilot first launched in March 2023, it mainly relied on OpenAIs GPT4 model. Microsoft already had early access to OpenAIs AI models by investing $11 billion. However, a significant shift in the companys AI strategy is evident since it is currently looking into other solutions for its business clients. Microsoft has also started granting GitHub Copilot users access to AI models from Anthropics Claude and Googles Gemini, suggesting that future 365 Copilot tools cancan swap between models.

Humanoid robot research is being investigated by OpenAI, suggesting a possible foray into robotics to supplement its sophisticated AI skills. The move might take advantage of OpenAIs recent developments, such as the o3 series of reasoningfocused models, to build robots that can carry out realworld jobs with spoken orders, though specifics are still unknown. A robotics subsidiary of OpenAI was shut down in 2021 because of a lack of training data. Recent job postings and investments in robotics startups such as Figure AI, 1X Technologies, and Physical Intelligence have suggested a fresh interest. These startups want to build robots with humanlike dexterity by integrating GPT models. The robotics goals of OpenAI have the potential to transform manufacturing processes and other sectors by fusing artificial intelligence with mechanical automation. Read More..
