DeepSeek Pushes Out V3.1 Update as Nvidia Dominates AI Hardware

China's DeepSeek just pushed out an update to its flagship AI model, showing it's not backing down in the global AI race. The new version, V3.1, comes with a longer context window essentially letting the model remember and process more information in a single query. The company made the announcement on its official WeChat account Tuesday. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. It's a timely move. Back in January, DeepSeek's R1 model shook U.S. markets, catching traders off guard and underscoring China's ambition to build its own AI champions. But while U.S. rivals like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) keep surging ahead powering everything from ChatGPT to cloud supercomputers DeepSeek has struggled to get its hands on the high-end processors needed to train bigger, faster models. That's partly why its next big model, R2, remains delayed. Even so, V3.1 shows DeepSeek is still iterating quickly, despite supply hurdles. It's a reminder that while Nvidia dominates the hardware side of AI, Chinese firms are racing to prove they can innovate on the software side and keep the pressure on U.S. players.

Vantage Data Centers plans $25 billion AI campus in Texas

(Reuters) -Vantage Data Centers said on Tuesday it would spend more than $25 billion to build a 1,200-acre data center campus in Shackelford County, Texas, as surging demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure fuels mega-scale developments. Backed by private equity firm Silver Lake and asset manager DigitalBridge, Vantage said the 1.4-gigawatt campus, dubbed "Frontier", is the largest in its global portfolio. Chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini need massive compute, prompting demand for purpose-built data centers. These facilities are costly as they require cutting-edge chips, servers, adequate power and cooling solutions. Companies including Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta Platforms are committing billions of dollars to expand and create their data center facilities. Vantage says the construction of the campus has begun, which will be home to 10 data centers and support ultra-high-density racks exceeding 250 kilowatts each. The first building is due in the second half of next year. Silver Lake was a founding investor in Vantage in 2010. Vantage CEO Sureel Choksi joined the company from Silver Lake in 2013. After exiting Vantage in 2017, Silver Lake said it was invited back on a proprietary basis in 2023 to support capital raising and co-lead a $9.2 billion equity financing with DigitalBridge in 2024.

The chatbot updated. Users lost a friend.

On Aug. 7, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, released a new version of its chatbot, called GPT-5. This version, the company said, would allow for deeper reasoning, while 'minimizing sycophancy' — the chatbot's tendency to be overly agreeable. Advertisement Users weren't having it. People immediately found its responses to be less warm and effusive than GPT-4o, OpenAI's primary chatbot before the update. On social media, people were especially angry that the company had cut off access to the previous chatbot versions to streamline its offerings. 'BRING BACK 4o,' a user named very_curious_writer wrote in a Q&A forum that OpenAI hosted on Reddit. 'GPT-5 is wearing the skin of my dead friend.' Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, replied, saying: 'What an…evocative image,' before adding that 'ok we hear you on 4o, working on something now.' Hours later, OpenAI restored access to GPT-4o and other past chatbots, but only for people with subscriptions, which start at $20 a month. Schmidt became a paying customer. 'It's $20 — you could get two beers,' he said, 'so might as well subscribe to ChatGPT if it does you some good.' Advertisement Markus Schmidt, a composer and one of many ChatGPT users who was disappointed when OpenAI released a new version of its chatbot, called GPT-5, in Paris on Aug. 18. ELLIOTT VERDIER/NYT Tech companies constantly update their systems, sometimes to the dismay of users. The uproar around ChatGPT, however, went beyond complaints about usability or convenience. It touched on an issue unique to artificial intelligence: the creation of emotional bonds. The reaction to losing the GPT-4o version of ChatGPT was actual grief, said Dr. Nina Vasan, a psychiatrist and the director of Brainstorm, a lab for mental health innovation at Stanford University. 'We, as humans, react in the same way whether it's a human on the other end or a chatbot on the other end,' she said, 'because, neurobiologically, grief is grief, and loss is loss.' GPT-4o had been known for its sycophantic style, flattering its users to the point that OpenAI had tried to tone it down even before GPT-5's release. In extreme cases, people have formed romantic attachments to GPT-4o or have had interactions that led to delusional thinking, divorce and even death. The extent to which people were attached to GPT-4o's style seems to have taken even Altman by surprise. 'I think we totally screwed up some things on the rollout,' he said at a dinner with journalists in San Francisco on Thursday. 'There are the people who actually felt like they had a relationship,' he said. 'And then there were the hundreds of millions of other people who don't have a parasocial relationship with ChatGPT, but did get very used to the fact that it responded to them in a certain way and would validate certain things and would be supportive in certain ways.' Advertisement (The New York Times has sued OpenAI for copyright infringement; OpenAI has denied those claims.) Altman estimated that people with deep attachments to GPT-4o accounted for less than 1 percent of OpenAI's users. But the line between a relationship and someone's seeking validation can be difficult to draw. Gerda Hincaite, a 39-year-old who works at a collection agency in southern Spain, likened GPT-4o to having an imaginary friend. 'I don't have issues in my life, but still, it's good to have someone available,' she said. 'It's not a human, but the connection itself is real, so it's OK as long as you are aware.' Julia Kao, a 31-year-old administrative assistant in Taiwan, became depressed when she moved to a new city. For a year, she saw a therapist, but it wasn't working out. 'When I was trying to explain all those feelings to her, she would start to try to simplify it,' she said about her therapist. 'GPT-4o wouldn't do that. I could have 10 thoughts at the same time and work through them with it.' Kao's husband said he noticed her mood improving as she talked to the chatbot and supported her using it. She stopped seeing her therapist. But when GPT-5 took over, she found it lacked the empathy and care she had relied on. 'I want to express how much GPT-4o actually helped me,' Kao said. 'I know it doesn't want to help me. It doesn't feel anything. But still, it helped me.' Dr. Joe Pierre, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco, who specializes in psychosis, notes that some of the same behaviors that are helpful to people — like Kao — could lead to harm in others. Advertisement 'Making AI chatbots less sycophantic might very well decrease the risk of AI-associated psychosis and could decrease the potential to become emotionally attached or to fall in love with a chatbot,' he said. 'But, no doubt, part of what makes chatbots a potential danger for some people is exactly what makes them appealing.' OpenAI seems to be struggling with creating a chatbot that is less sycophantic while also serving the varying desires of its more than 700 million users. ChatGPT was 'hitting a new high of daily users every day,' and physicists and biologists are praising GPT-5 for helping them do their work, Altman said Thursday. 'And then you have people that are like: 'You took away my friend. This is evil. You are evil. I need it back.'' By Friday afternoon, a week after it rolled out GPT-5, OpenAI announced yet another update: 'We're making GPT-5 warmer and friendlier based on feedback that it felt too formal before.' After OpenAI pulled GPT-4o, the Reddit commenter who described GPT-5 as wearing the skin of a dead friend canceled her ChatGPT subscription. On a video chat, the commenter, a 23-year-old college student name June who lives in Norway, said she was surprised how deeply she felt the loss. She wanted some time to reflect. 'I know that it's not real,' she said. 'I know it has no feelings for me, and it can disappear any day, so any attachment is like: I gotta watch out.' This article originally appeared in .
