In 2024, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) of the United Arab Emirates introduced two significant artificial intelligence models in the Falcon series, redefining the development of large language models (LLMs). The Falcon 2, launched in May, and the Falcon 3, released in December, reflect the UAE’s commitment to democratising
Levente, Hungary's latest supercomputer, is being built at the Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Csillebérc as part of the EuroHPC JU program. The project holds strategic importance for domestic research and development and industrial technological progress, particularly since the new machine will be four times more powerful
The attention mechanism has fundamentally reshaped natural language processing (NLP), enabling models to capture complex linguistic relationships with unprecedented accuracy. Introduced prominently in Vaswani et al. (2017), attention allows models to focus on relevant parts of input sequences, enhancing performance in tasks like machine translation and sentiment analysis.

Alibaba has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence model, Qwen 2.5-Max, which the company claims outperforms the current market leaders, including DeepSeek-V3, OpenAI’s GPT-4, and Meta’s Llama-3. A Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architektúrára épülő modellt több mint 20 billió tokenen tanították, majd felügyelt finomhangolással (SFT) és emberi visszajelzéseken alapuló megerősítéses
In January, the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek launched its R1 language model, delivering performance comparable to OpenAI’s models at a development cost of just $6 million. This poses a significant challenge to Europe’s Mistral AI, which has secured over €1 billion in investment and reached a valuation of
The Chinese company DeepSeek made a surprising entrance into the market of ChatGPT and other leading language models in January 2025, creating a new situation for European AI developers as well. The company, founded by Liang Wenfeng in July 2023, has made its advanced language model freely available, aiming to
The Forschungszentrum Jülich research centre hosts Europe's first exascale computer, JUPITER, which can execute one quintillion (10^18) computational operations per second, thereby revolutionising scientific research and complex problem-solving. Exascale computing represents a significant advancement in supercomputer development, as these systems are a thousand times faster than petascale
In January 2025, the U.S. government significantly tightened restrictions on the export of semiconductors and artificial intelligence technologies to China, with a particular focus on NVIDIA chips and automotive software. The new regulations, introduced by the Biden administration, aim to limit China’s access to advanced technologies while maintaining
Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has shaken the global technology market after unveiling its R1 model in January 2025, which delivers performance matching American competitors at a fraction of the cost. The development was achieved for $5.6 million, compared to the American Stargate project's $500 billion budget.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) encompasses a variety of tasks, each with distinct methodologies and applications, including Named Entity Recognition (NER), sentiment analysis, classification, machine translation, summarisation, and information extraction. These tasks underpin numerous real-world applications, from virtual assistants to automated content analysis. Named Entity Recognition involves identifying and classifying named
The transformative potential of Natural Language Processing (NLP), as a cornerstone of artificial intelligence, lies in its ability to enable machines to understand and generate human language, facilitating advanced human-computer interaction and knowledge extraction. However, the complexity of human language presents significant obstacles, particularly in managing linguistic ambiguity, contextual nuances,
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a pivotal subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the interaction between computers and human language. By enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language, NLP bridges the gap between human communication and computational systems. At its core, NLP combines principles from computer
