The world of wealth and asset management faces rapid change in the digital age. Markets shift faster, customer expectations rise, and data grows complex. Many firms find it difficult to maintain clarity in this environment and require strong systems that support accurate decisions and long-term planning. They also need clear insight into digital trends that shape the future of financial services. The introduction of new technologies like AI and intelligent data solutions now guides the sector toward smarter […]

I’m trying to deeply understand the mechanism behind LLM reasoning (specifically in models like o1 or DeepSeek). Mechanism: Is the model actually applying logic gates/rules, or is it just a probabilistic simulation of a logic path? If it “backtracks” during CoT, is that a learned pattern or a genuine evaluation of truth? And how close is this to AGI/Human level reasoning? The Data Wall: How much of current training is purely public (Common Crawl) vs private? Is the […]

As a developer/architect, you will often need to build or consume a third-party system via an API channel. In this article, we primarily focus on the best way to consume APIs to tackle network or API system issues through .NET Core using the Polly open-source package. Why Do We Need It? In small or large micro services or distributed environments, systems are frequently connected to read or push the data in terms of API, message queues, or asynchronous […]

Can traditional equity markets and cryptocurrency exchanges coexist on the same platform? BitMEX, the derivatives exchange that has operated since 2014 without losing customer funds to hacks, is testing this proposition with a month-long campaign offering 70,000 USDT in prizes to traders who engage with equity perpetual contracts. The campaign, running from February 12 to March 12, 2026, targets users who trade contracts based on Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), and other publicly traded companies, marking a continuation of […]

The ability to learn manipulation skills by watching videos of humans has the potential to unlock a new source of highly scalable data for robot learning. Here, we tackle prehensile manipulation, in which tasks involve grasping an object before performing various post-grasp motions. Human videos offer strong signals for learning the post-grasp motions, but they are less useful for learning the prerequisite grasping behaviors, especially for robots without human-like hands. A promising way forward is to use a […]

Partial differential equations often contain unknown functions that are difficult or impossible to measure directly, hampering our ability to derive predictions from the model. Workflows for recovering scalar PDE parameters from data are well studied: here we show how similar workflows can be used to recover functions from data. Specifically, we embed neural networks into the PDE and show how, as they are trained on data, they can approximate unknown functions with arbitrary accuracy. Using nonlocal aggregation-diffusion equations […]

There has been a growing interest in using neural networks, especially message-passing neural networks (MPNNs), to solve hard combinatorial optimization problems heuristically. However, existing learning-based approaches for hard combinatorial optimization tasks often rely on supervised training data, reinforcement learning, or gradient estimators, leading to significant computational overhead, unstable training, or a lack of provable performance guarantees. In contrast, classical approximation algorithms offer such performance guarantees under worst-case inputs but are non-differentiable and unable to adaptively exploit structural regularities […]

AI companies have been hemorrhaging talent the past few weeks. Half of xAI’s founding team has left the company — some on their own, others through “restructuring” — while OpenAI is facing its own shakeups, from the disbanding of its mission alignment team to the firing of a policy exec who opposed its “adult mode” feature.  On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten […]
