Investors should further reduce their exposure to US Treasuries and the US dollar over the next decade, as tech-driven inflation and high government deficits are likely to erode their value, a leading private bank has warned. Shifting to commodities and equities in emerging markets offers a greater chance of long-term returns, with global inflation expected to remain volatile and sticky for years due to factors including the artificial intelligence (AI) boom and decarbonisation efforts,...

E-commerce shipping and logistics platform Shiprocket’s Rs 1,617 crore IPO ended with strong investor demand, with the issue getting subscribed 99 times on the final day of bidding. The IPO opened on August 12 and closed today, August 14. The company had fixed the price band at Rs 92-97 per share. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) led the demand, subscribing to their reserved portion 123 times. The non-institutional investor (NII) quota was subscribed 89 times, while the retail portion saw 46 times subscription. The employee portion was subscribed 55 times. According to its RHP , Shiprocket reduced its IPO size by 31% to Rs 1,617.48 crore from the Rs 2,342.35 crore proposed earlier. The issue comprises a fresh issue of Rs 885.5 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs 731.98 crore. The company plans to use the fresh issue proceeds mainly for growth initiatives. This includes Rs 205.8 crore for marketing and Rs 159.8 crore for technology infrastructure and capabilities. It will also use Rs 210 crore to repay borrowings, while the remaining funds will go towards acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The Gurugram-based company provides shipping, logistics and ecommerce enablement services to online sellers and businesses. It is backed by investors including Temasek and Eternal. Ahead of the IPO, Shiprocket raised around Rs 727 crore from anchor investors, with participation from several large domestic mutual funds and institutional investors. The company is expected t…
The Bodez ChatGPT Pricing Model Executive Proposal to OpenAI Product & Pricing Proposal: Introduce flexible, compute-based pricing between the Free and Plus tiers. The problem A significant group of users may value ChatGPT highly but use it intermittently. A fixed monthly subscription can be difficult to justify when usage varies dramatically from month to month. At the same time, simple message counts don’t accurately represent OpenAI’s underlying cost: a short factual question and a lengthy reasoning task can require vastly different amounts of compute. Proposed solution Create usage-based tiers with daily compute allowances, rather than relying primarily on message limits. For example: - Free — minimal daily compute - Casual — low-cost part-time tier - Plus — regular users - Heavy/Pro — high-compute users Compute consumption would vary according to the complexity of the request. Intelligent throttling When a user reaches their daily allowance: 1. Continue with a lower-compute model, or 2. Wait for the daily reset, or 3. Purchase additional compute, or 4. Upgrade their tier. The system could transparently show remaining daily compute and notify users when they consistently approach their limit. Demand-responsive pricing An optional future component could adjust processing priority according to overall server demand. Users could choose between: Lower cost / slower processing or Higher cost / priority processing This could help OpenAI manage peak demand while allowing users…

When using the Unbabel/wmt20-comet-qe-da metric, do the approaches below have any effect on evaluation: (1) Evaluating each model translation separately or (2) in the same data list? For example, when translating the English word "Hello" to Afrikaans: (1) Evaluating each model translation separately data1 = [ { "src": "hello", "mt": "hallllo" }, ] model_output1 = model.predict(data1, batch_size=8, gpus=1) print (model_output1) data2 = [ { "src": "hello", "mt": "hallo" } ] model_output2 = model.predict(data2, batch_size=8, gpus=1) print (model_output2) (2) in the same data list data = [ { "src": "hello", "mt": "hallo" }, { "src": "hello", "mt": "hallllo" }, ] model_output = model.predict(data, batch_size=8, gpus=1) print (model_output)
IBM will embed OpenAI frontier models and products such as Codex and ChatGPT embedded into IBM’s AI consulting services platform, IBM Consulting Advantage, as well as expanding the companies’ existing collaboration in the cybersecurity realm, they announced Thursday. Joint initiatives will include the creation of industry-specific products for financial services, government, telecommunications, and retail, as well as serving key enterprise domains such as finance, procurement, customer operations, and HR. IBM will join the OpenAI Partner Network and engage forward-deployed engineers and consultants trained through the network to help clients accelerate their AI implementations. It will also create a dedicated OpenAI practice, certifying thousands of consultants and engineers via the Partner Network, it said. There will be three focus areas in the new partnership: helping organizations transform their businesses to integrate AI into their daily work, assisting clients in modernizing legacy applications through a combination of OpenAI products and IBM’s expertise, and an expansion of an existing cybersecurity collaboration combining OpenAI frontier AI capabilities with IBM Autonomous Security. Everyone, it seems, is engaging forward-deployed engineers to help enterprises build systems around their AI models: OpenAI announced its initiative, OpenAI Deployment Company , on May 11, a week after Anthropic launched its efforts. Microsoft and AWS too have jumped into the ring. But,…

I’m experiencing a strange flickering issue in ChatGPT Classic on Windows. When I move my mouse over the buttons at the bottom of the chat window, they flicker extremely rapidly. It happens with the Add Files button, Microphone button, Think button and the ↑ Send Prompt button. The flickering is so fast that it’s difficult to capture properly on a screen recording, and it can also make the buttons difficult to click because they appear to flicker or rapidly re-render when I hover over them. I’ve tested this on the same PC and the issue does not happen when I use ChatGPT in my web browser or when I use the new ChatGPT Windows app. Everything works normally there. This makes me think the problem is specific to the ChatGPT Classic desktop app rather than my mouse, monitor or Windows generally. Has anyone else experienced this issue with ChatGPT Classic? Any ideas how I can fix

The recent round of appointments in Tehran’s corridors of power show the regime is settling in for a protracted conflict with the US, experts say.
The US Treasury secretary said he would unveil restrictions “that have never been seen,” while Washington’s defense chief insisted a naval blockade could be maintained “indefinitely.”
The US heightened trade pressure on its allies and lashed out at China, raising tensions ahead of a summit of the two superpowers’ leaders next month.

Long-running AI agents often spend most of their time on routine execution rather than difficult reasoning. After making a plan, they may perform hundreds of tool calls, file reads, validations, commands, and formatting steps, so using a frontier reasoning model for every action can become unnecessarily slow and expensive.

I’d like to suggest a better way to manage long ChatGPT conversations. As conversations grow, they often branch into completely different topics. Sometimes an earlier section becomes irrelevant, while later parts of the same chat remain extremely valuable. Currently, the practical options are generally to keep the entire conversation or start a completely new chat. It would be extremely useful to have controls directly from the conversation’s navigation/history area. Suggested feature: Add a ⋯ menu to individual sections/messages in the chat navigation with options such as: Delete from here onward Delete selected section Split into a new chat from here Move/copy this section to a new chat Archive/hide this section For example, if I’ve had a 200-message conversation covering five different subjects, I might want to remove messages 80–120 because that discussion is no longer relevant, while preserving everything before and after it. The existing conversation navigation/scroll interface would be a natural place for these controls. Why this would be useful: Keeps long-running chats clean and relevant Reduces clutter and irrelevant context Prevents users from having to abandon valuable conversation history Makes long-term ChatGPT projects much easier to maintain Could be especially useful for research, job searching, coding, planning, and other conversations that evolve over time Even better: a “Split conversation here” option could preserve the original chat while creating a new…
