On August 11th, Behring announced the official open-sourcing of Ling-3.0-tiny, a native hybrid inference model with a total of 7.9B parameters and only 1.3B activation parameters during inference. The open-sourcing release includes three versions: BF16, FP8, and INT4.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagaei: If someone raises a sword while trying to talk to you, rest assured, it will not hesitate to strike you.On August 11th, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued the "Shanghai Software and Information Service Industry Development 15th Five-Year Plan". The plan mentions integrating into the global software and information industry innovation and application ecosystem, vigorously promoting the construction of an open-source system, and leveraging open-source platforms such as the Magnolia Open Source Research Institute, OpenLoong, and OpenDataLab to promote the "first launch" of open-source projects in Shanghai for intelligent software, corpora, algorithms, models, intelligent agents, and humanoid robot hardware and software. It also promotes more flexible open-source benefit distribution mechanisms such as paid open source and dual licenses to attract global talent to participate in open-source solution innovation. The plan supports enterprises in conducting commercial secondary development based on open-source software, innovating the path of "technology open source + commercial application value-added", and cultivating a number of open-source software commercialization enterprises. Finally, it strengthens international open-source cooperation and exchange, supporting enterprises and institutions to participate in the construction of the global open-source ecosystem and the formulation of international rules.On August 11th, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Shanghais Software and Information Service Industry." The plan emphasizes tackling next-generation model architectures and promoting the exploration of multiple technical routes based on non-Transformer architectures such as state-space models, recurrent neural network variants, and liquid neural networks. It also calls for accelerating the development of cutting-edge basic model technology systems such as physical intelligence, world models, quantum intelligence, and brain-like intelligence. Furthermore, it emphasizes tackling the networking technology of ultra-large-scale intelligent computing power clusters, focusing on core components such as high-performance computing chips (GPUs/NPUs), quantum computing chips (QPUs), high-speed optical interconnects (CPOs), high-bandwidth memory (HBMs), and heterogeneous servers to enhance the supply capacity of intelligent computing hardware and promote the deep integration of domestically developed chips with mainstream large-scale models. Finally, it focuses on new storage and retrieval technologies, digital-model collaboration, and breakthroughs in key technologies such as high-precision heterogeneous processing, native multimodal fusion, and dynamic value alignment to build automated complex reasoning covering the entire lifecycle of corpora.On August 11th, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Shanghais Software and Information Service Industry." The plan outlines a tiered supply system combining large clusters, small clusters, and edge computing power. It calls for the development of ultra-large-scale intelligent computing clusters (100,000-card level) in Songjiang, Lingang, and Qingpu districts, and thousand-card level intelligent computing clusters in Baoshan, Pudong, and Jiading districts. The plan also guides the transformation of traditional data centers and information communication equipment rooms into hundred-card level edge intelligent computing centers to meet the ultra-low latency computing power needs of enterprises and individuals. Furthermore, it focuses on building Model-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms for industries such as finance, education, healthcare, culture and tourism, and manufacturing, providing services such as industry application marketplaces, model customization and hosting, agent building, low-code development, API interfaces, computing power provision and management, and AI inference, thereby enhancing the level of intelligent cloud services.

Ukraine's 'Father of Crypto' Says the Crypto Scene Has Changed Due to War

Michael Chobanian, the founder of KUNA, spoke on the state of crypto before and after the war.

He said that crypto has become Ukraine's most valued currency.


Instead of entering the army, Michael worked for the government as a crypto banker.


The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a disaster that will be remembered for Russia's harshness, lack of mercy, and terrible methods. However, certain advantages came to the world of crypto in the form of acceptance amid the most awful of circumstances.


Michael Chobanian, the founder of Ukraine's largest crypto exchange, KUNA, emphasized how dramatically the crypto industry has altered in the previous month in an interview with Bloomberg.

Ukraine and crypto

For more than eight years, Michael has been a proponent of all things crypto. Since becoming a full-time crypto actor in 2013, Michael has had to deal with government raids and other issues.


And, in order to defend crypto enterprises, he has served as President of the Blockchain Association of Ukraine. The most dramatic developments in Ukraine's crypto space, on the other hand, occurred only at the start of the conflict.


Before the conflict, KUNA was used to processing $1 million to $4 million in volume every day, according to Michael. But, since February 24, a lot has changed, and crypto has emerged as a critical component of the war effort.


The once-dominant payment methods of USD and cash have now become obsolete.


"No one wants cash because you can't really transport it outside of the nation and you can't really store it safely." Crypto is becoming the most valued type of currency in Ukraine. Everyone wants crypto because it is the quickest, most flexible, simplest, and least bureaucratic method of storing and spending money. "In Ukraine, crypto is the new king of money." The amount of crypto donations received by Ukraine (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) has supported the war effort with over 5,500 bulletproof vests, 500 helmets, night-vision goggles, and medication.


As a result, instead of entering the army, Michael became a government crypto banker. "I'm in charge of collecting, fundraising, and storing crypto, as well as trading crypto for crypto and crypto for fiat, creating bank accounts for intermediaries or the government, and then buying anything the Ministry of Defense requires," he explained. We also locate vendors ready to offer us humanitarian items, such as helmets or protective jackets, in exchange for crypto. So I'm in head of this government-run virtual crypto fund."


In the last month, the Crypto Efforts Ukraine has gathered over $100 million in crypto donations to fund the battle effort. This covers things like bitcoin contributions and NFT sales, among other things.


In addition, the Ukrainian government has established the NFT War Museum, the revenues of which will be used to assist the administration.


On the other side, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has been traveling throughout the world, pleading for assistance in evading Western sanctions.


Sergei stated today during a visit to India that India and Russia are friends, praising the country's non-biased viewpoints, and that in the future, "it is absolutely clear that more and more transactions will be done through this system using national currencies, bypassing the dollar, euro, and other currencies."
