Date & TimeJan 9, 2025 (Tomorrow) 12:00 PM EST Description Generative AI is the current rage, with untold numbers of projects attempting to build GenAI chatbots or provide customer value in "just a matter of minutes." The reality, of course, is quite different: Organizations need a solid platform for development and experimentation to prove out the fruits of their labors. Join our three Developer Evangelists at Oracle as they lay out the case for the Oracle AI Microservices Sandbox as a zero-code development platform. Best regards Agenda: Virtual event.

This event is hosted by IEEE NH Comm/Sig Society within IEEE. It originates from Brookings Institute. How will artificial intelligence impact security relations between the United States and China? US and Chinese perspectives Amid growing strategic competition between the United States and China, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a key factor shaping global power dynamics. As bilateral relations become increasingly strained between these two major superpowers, ongoing dialogue around critical technological and national security issues is necessary to reduce miscommunication. Over the past five years, the Brookings Institution and Tsinghua University have convened an unofficial U.S.-China Track II dialogue on AI in national security. This collaboration has yielded significant contributions, including parallel glossaries of AI terms and agreements to emphasize the importance of maintaining human control over nuclear decisionmaking. What lessons can be drawn from sustained dialogue, and how can it inform how the United States and China will relate to each other in this vital area? On Friday, January 10, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings and the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University will host a panel of U.S. and Chinese experts to analyze how AI will influence national security issues facing both countries. The event will feature moderated discussion followed by audience questions. https://www.brookings.edu/events/how-will-artificial-intelligence-impact-security-relations-between-the-united-states-and-china-us-and-chinese-perspectives/?utm_campaign=Events%3A%20Foreign%20Policy&utm_medium=email&utm_content=340958866&utm_source=hs_email Please register here and at this meeting site.

The BAE Systems, SNHU Career Center, IEEE WIE/YP and SNHU IEEE Student Branch are teaming up to organize career event title “How to get and Internship”. BAE systems will guide students on how to apply for internships and jobs with BAE specific advice and some general advice. Students will become familiar with the system. Many students are unaware how early one needs to apply for jobs and internship at the big companies. SNHU Career center will follow up with explanations and demonstrations on how they can facilitate internship application process and how they can prepare students for interviews. Representatives from IEEE Young Professional and Women in Engineering will illustrate how IEEE can be part of the process and how they can support students transitioning to their professional life. Agenda: 1 – Arrival, food, networking 5pm 2 – Presentation by BAE systems 5:15 3 – Presentation by the SNHU Career Center 5:45 4 – Presentation by IEEE YP 6 5 – Questions and Answers session and networking Room: 128, Bldg: School of Engineering, Technology and Aeronautics, Southern New Hampshire University, 2500 North River Road, Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, 03106

Abstract of the technical report We present DeepSeek-V3, a strong Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model with 671B total parameters with 37B activated for each token. To achieve efficient inference and cost-effective training, DeepSeek-V3 adopts Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA) and DeepSeekMoE architectures, which were thoroughly validated in DeepSeek-V2. Furthermore, DeepSeek-V3 pioneers an auxiliary-loss-free strategy for load balancing and sets a multi-token prediction training objective for stronger performance. We pre-train DeepSeek-V3 on 14.8 trillion diverse and high-quality tokens, followed by Supervised Fine-Tuning and Reinforcement Learning stages to fully harness its capabilities. Comprehensive evaluations reveal that DeepSeek-V3 outperforms other open-source models and achieves performance comparable to leading closed-source models. Despite its excellent performance, DeepSeek-V3 requires only 2.788M H800 GPU hours for its full training. In addition, its training process is remarkably stable. Throughout the entire training process, we did not experience any irrecoverable loss spikes or perform any rollbacks. The model checkpoints are available at https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3.
