XAI, Elon Musk’s one-year-old artificial intelligence startup, has considered acquiring chatbot maker Character.AI as it looks for more ways to test its Grok AI models, according to a person who spoke with xAI leadership about the deal.
The discussion may not result in a deal. But the internal debate at xAI points to the types of pairings that are likely to become more common as smaller AI startups such as Character face the steep costs of training and running their models while competing against deep-pock

Я около десяти лет занимаюсь русской локализацией Mozilla и сейчас являюсь лидером русской локализации. За это время я много раз видел Firefox с пользовательской стороны, со стороны сообщества, со стороны перевода интерфейса и документации. Но в корпоративной среде браузер выглядит иначе. Там это не просто приложение для просмотра сайтов, а часть рабочего места, через которую проходят почта, внутренние системы, облачные службы, порталы, административные панели и множество других критичных процессов.Когда ре Read more ›

Интеграция больших языковых моделей (LLM) в процессы промышленной автоматизации долгое время упиралась в серьезное ограничение: базовые ИИ-модели предлагают лишь обобщенные фрагменты кода, которые инженеру приходится вручную адаптировать под архитектуру конкретного проекта. Этот процесс сопряжен с риском галлюцинаций, не учитывает реальную топологию сети и часто сводит на нет всю экономию времени. Читать далее Read more ›

# Как мы четыре раза неправильно диагностировали зависание на джобе 281 339Несколько месяцев назад я писал, [как мы четыре раза неправильно чинили мерцание](https://habr.com/ru/articles/1042962/) при рендеринге 4,4 миллиона полигонов. Тогда казалось, что это рекорд: месяц блужданий, четыре отброшенных подхода, решение на неделю. Эта история хуже. Баг пережил четыре диагноза подряд, два из которых мы успели «подтвердить числами», получил по дороге три работающих фикса от несуществующих причин - и в итоге ока Read more ›

1С 7.7 сегодня живет в странном статусе: платформа давно не новая, типовые решения на ней уступили место 1С 8, но в реальном бизнесе старые базы продолжают работать. Часто это сильно доработанные конфигурации, которые годами закрывали конкретные процессы компании, и переписать их «на восьмерку» быстро не получается. С нейросетями похожая история: для 1С 8 примеров, обсуждений и готовых фрагментов заметно больше, а код под 7.7 они пишут менее уверенно. Синтаксис вроде... Read more ›

The Information
Anthropic’s filing of its initial public offering paperwork last week means the maker of Claude Code has pulled slightly ahead of OpenAI as the two go head-to-head with their planned IPOs. While bankers and lawyers say there are good reasons for a company to beat its rival to the public markets, especially if it fears its rival’s offering will outshine it, that won’t necessarily help the stock outperform, a review...

Last month OpenAI sponsored a conference on the topic... Read more ›
