Prax and Shell informed the public on Friday that Shells 37.5% ownership of the PCK Schwedt oil refinery in Germany will not be sold. The agreement was reached in December last year, but thirdparty lawsuits caused delays. The decision by the German government to deprive Russian oil company Rosneft of authority over the refinery, which was prompted by the 2022 breaking of GermanyRussian energy links, created complications. Both businesses confirmed in their announcements that they had decided to withdraw from the deal. Read More..

In a Windows blog post, the company said it is testing a new realtime translation function in Live Captions for Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel chipsets. The most recent Windows 11 Insider preview build 26120.2705 has this capability, which lets users convert audio from more than 44 languages into English and shows the translations as bottomofscreen subtitles. Initially limited to devices with Snapdragon processors, this upgrade allows a select group of users to test the feature and offer feedback. Additionally, Snapdragon devices have been improved, enabling simplified Chinese translation. The update also fixes bugs in the Recall feature, which enhances the platforms overall user experience.

Genesis Model Integrates Multiple Physics Solvers for Enhanced Robotic Simulations

The generative AI physics model Genesis was introduced recently, demonstrating its promise for physical AI applications and generalpurpose robotics by

The generative AI physics model Genesis was introduced recently, demonstrating its promise for physical AI applications and generalpurpose robotics by simulating fourdimensional 4D worlds. Over 20 research labs collaborated over two years to develop Genesis, which can attain simulation speeds up to 80 times faster than those of conventional GPUaccelerated systems. Installing it requires PyTorch, accessible through the Python Package Index PyPI. The model enables the simulation of various physical events and materials by combining several physics solvers into a single framework. With claims of simulation rates up to 430,000 times faster than realtime while retaining excellent accuracy and realism, it is noteworthy that it can learn robotic locomotion policies in just 26 seconds on a single Nvidia RTX4090 GPU.

Rapido has fixed a serious security vulnerability that exposed users and drivers private information on its ridehailing platform. According to a report, an application programming interface API vulnerability exposed complete names, email addresses, and phone numbers on a feedback form meant to collect comments. Renganathan P, a security researcher, found the vulnerability, which impacted a site that gathered input from over 1,800 users. A test entry was made to validate the provided data through the feedback form. With CEO Aravind Sanka acknowledging that the survey links had unintentionally reached undesired public users, Rapido secured the portal to prevent unauthorised access. The problem has since been fixed. Read More..

KAIST Unveils WalkON Suit F1 A GameChanger for Paraplegic Mobility

The lightweight wearable exoskeleton, the WalkON Suit F1, created by researchers at South Koreas KAIST, enables paraplegic individuals to walk, climb

The lightweight wearable exoskeleton, the WalkON Suit F1, created by researchers at South Koreas KAIST, enables paraplegic individuals to walk, climb stairs, and negotiate obstacles. Weighing fifty kilogrammes and constructed of titanium and aluminium, it has twelve motors that simulate the motions of human joints. The suits 1,000signalpersecond sensors compensate for sensory limitations by anticipating the users intents and using frontmounted lenses to detect obstructions and stairs. Paraplegic team member Kim Seunghwan quickly demonstrated the suit by sidestepping, climbing stairs, and walking at 3.2 kph. The group hopes to incorporate such technology into everyday life, drawing inspiration from Iron Man. At Cybathlon 2024, Kim won gold, showcasing the suits revolutionary mobility potential.

OpenAI declared that it is testing two new AI reasoning models, o3 and o3 mini. The company plans to release the complete o3 model shortly after the o3 mini by the end of January. CEO Sam Altman emphasised that these sophisticated large language models have the potential to surpass current systems, resolving challenging arithmetic, coding, and scientific problems while promoting user adoption and investment. The o3 models, which are undergoing internal safety testing, expand upon the features of the o1 models, which were introduced in September and were intended for more complex query processing. Before the models are made public, outside researchers can apply to test them. The developments at OpenAI heighten competition with competitors such as Google, which just unveiled Gemini, the second iteration of their AI model. Read More..

Bank of England Holds Interest Rates Steady at 4.75% Amid Split Among Policymakers

Despite significant disagreement among policymakers, who voted 63 against a quarterpoint cut, the Bank of England BoE decided to maintain interest rat

Despite significant disagreement among policymakers, who voted 63 against a quarterpoint cut, the Bank of England BoE decided to maintain interest rates at 4.75%. In response to a weakening economy plagued by inflation, Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden and new committee member Alan Taylor joined longtime dove Swati Dhingra in calling for a cut. Governor Andrew Bailey stressed the need for careful rate decreases in light of the uncertain economy. Although the UK economy shrank in September and October, the BoEs projections suggest that there may be room for modest cuts in 2025, given ongoing inflation. Economists predict more rate reduction later in the year, and market estimates now predict a 45% chance of a rate cut in February. Read More..
