Creating effective large language models (LLMs) involves two critical stages: pre-training and fine-tuning. These stages enable models to progress from capturing broad linguistic knowledge to excelling in specific tasks, powering applications such as automated translation, sentiment analysis, and conversational agents. Rigorous evaluation and performance measurement ensure LLMs meet general and
Miklós Sebők, in an interview with HVG, discussed the possibilities and challenges of artificial intelligence development in Hungary. He emphasized that although AI is gaining increasing strategic importance globally, Hungary is not yet fully utilizing the regulatory and development opportunities provided by the EU. In the interview, Sebők emphasized that
OpenAI and SoftBank Group announced on February 3, 2025, their collaboration to develop and sell a corporate AI system called Cristal Intelligence, under which SoftBank is investing $3 billion annually to integrate OpenAI's technologies within its group of companies. As part of the partnership, the newly established SB
Python is one of today's most popular programming languages, yet few bug repositories contain actual, reproducible bugs. PyBugHive fills this gap as the first manually validated database containing reproducible Python bugs. The first version of the database contains 149 bugs from 11 open-source projects, providing researchers with the
The European Parliament adopted the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (EU AI Act) on March 13, 2024, which works closely with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to regulate the development and use of AI systems in the EU. While GDPR primarily focuses on fundamental rights and personal data protection, the EU
The evolution of machine learning has led to the development of powerful general models, such as BERT, GPT-3, and Vision Transformers, which have transformed artificial intelligence applications across diverse domains. These models, pre-trained on extensive datasets like Common Crawl for natural language processing or ImageNet for computer vision, demonstrate exceptional
Google DeepMind introduced the FACTS Grounding system in December 2024, which could revolutionise the evaluation of large language models' (LLMs) factuality. This benchmark is the first to enable automated verification of responses based on long documents of up to 32,000 tokens, with a particular focus on source fidelity
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, met with Indian IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on February 5, 2025, to discuss the country's plans for artificial intelligence development. Altman was previously sceptical about creating Indian AI foundation models, particularly regarding cost-effectiveness, but in his recent statements, he highlighted India's
Emmanuel Macron, the French President, announced a €109 billion (£112.5 billion) private sector investment package for artificial intelligence development in France. The announcement came ahead of the Paris AI summit beginning on February 10, 2025, attended by world leaders and technology industry players. The initiative aims to help Europe
The Trump administration launched a public consultation on February 6, 2025, to develop the new national artificial intelligence (AI) action plan, jointly overseen by the White House Office of Science and Technology (OSTP) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The initiative is the first concrete step in Executive Order 14179,
The AI development giant Anthropic has made an interesting decision: while they advertise their Claude chatbot as an effective writing tool, the company has explicitly forbidden applicants from using AI assistants during the application process. The company explicitly asks candidates not to use AI assistants for writing cover letters and
On February 6, 2025, OpenAI announced the launch of its European data storage service, which allows companies to comply with local data protection regulations. The new feature affects ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu and API Platform users, ensuring data storage and processing within Europe. As part of the European data storage
