Tim Dettmers is one of the scientists at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence who contributed to the DeepSeek breakthrough that grabbed the world’s attention this past week.He’s never had any contact with the Chinese team that built it.

Following $500 billion Project Stargate launch, Meta is also dolling out the dollars Meta's $65 billion is lower than Microsoft's $80 billion commitment AWS is set to spend more than $75 billion while Google has yet to say how much it will spend If you have a few hundred billion dollars burning a hole in your pocket,

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expects to spend as much as $65 billion on AI in 2025 as part of a “massive effort” to further the company’s AI ambitions.
