EtonHouse teachers now teach more and do less admin with AI
Lumina, EtonHouse's AI planner for its educators, leverages generative AI via OpenAI's application programming interface for curriculum planning and creating new lessons.
The inspiration for Lumina came from interviews with educators, who expressed their struggles in balancing student engagement and meeting learning targets while they are overwhelmed by their workload.
Compounding the burden was the constant data entry into Microsoft Excel sheets with no central repository for lesson planning, often leading to multiple versions and confusion.
The AI planner was developed with feedback from key teachers and the pedagogy team at EtonHouse. This was to ensure that the prototype met the needs of teachers and was aligned with the education provider's teaching approach.
Privacy and data protection were also designed into Lumina, with no personally identifiable information stored on the system or submitted to the AI model.

In prototyping Lumina, it was put through its paces through testing at selected EtonHouse centres, with feedback gathered through surveys and interviews. Tweaks were also made to the user interface to make it intuitive for teachers, including accessibility features and an analytical chatbot.
Lumina has gone through a number of iterations, and now has real-time tracking of learning objectives, and multi-language support. With this tool, teachers are empowered rather than replaced. It also eliminates inconsistencies from siloed systems, with standardised learning outcomes for the students.

Google to provide Gemini AI tools to US government
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox A suite of AI and cloud computing services called 'Gemini for Government' from Google is intended to speed the adoption of the technology across the US government. SAN FRANCISCO - Google will provide its Gemini artificial intelligence tools to US federal agencies practically free, the government announced on Aug 21. A suite of AI and cloud computing services called 'Gemini for Government' from Google is intended to speed the adoption of the technology across the US government, the General Services Administration (GSA) said in a joint statement. 'Gemini for Government gives federal agencies access to our full stack approach to AI innovation,' added Google chief executive Sundar Pichai. 'So they can deliver on their important missions.' AI tools being provided include generation of video, images, or ideas as well as digital 'agents' capable of independently tending to complex tasks. US agencies will pay a scant fee of less than a dollar for the AI tools, building on a previous agreement that saw Google Workspace software provided to the government at a major price discount, according to the GSA. 'Federal agencies can now significantly transform their operations by using the tools in Gemini for Government,' said GSA acting administrator Michael Rigas. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'By giving government employees access to powerful, secure AI tools, we can help them solve problems for more people, faster,' OpenAI said in a blog post announcing the alliance. Earlier in 2025, the US Department of Defence awarded OpenAI a US$200 million contract to put generative AI to work for the military. OpenAI planned to show how cutting-edge AI can improve administrative operations, such as how service members get health care, and also has cyber defence applications, the startup said in a post. AFP

DeepSeek touts model that outdoes flagship in agentic AI step
[BEIJING] DeepSeek unveiled an update to an older model that it says surpasses the seminal R1 on key benchmarks, keeping the Chinese startup in the game while the industry awaits its next flagship offering. The V3.1 returns answers to queries much faster and marks the startup's first step towards creating an AI agent, DeepSeek said in a WeChat post on Thursday (Aug 21). DeepSeek first outlined the V3.1 earlier this week, but the platform only just made it to the Hugging Face portal. The version has been customised to work with next-generation Chinese-made AI chips, DeepSeek said in a separate message. DeepSeek shook Silicon Valley in January with the powerful yet low-cost R1 and has since remained at the vanguard of a growing wave of Chinese AI development. On Thursday, it also outlined a new pricing plan for its update to the longer-established V3, raising prices in some cases and abolishing discounted evening rates. It did however cut fees for certain use cases. The changes take effect on Sep 6. DeepSeek's models have challenged US incumbents such as OpenAI and demonstrated how Chinese companies can make strides in artificial intelligence without the most cutting-edge semiconductors. Industry watchers await the release of the successor to R1, which had been expected to emerge earlier this year. Local media have attributed the delay to founder Liang Wenfeng's determination to get it right, even as he continues to run his lucrative High-Flyer Asset Management outfit. Others have speculated about various glitches in training or development. At the same time, rivals from Alibaba Group Holding to Tencent Holdings have kept up a frenetic pace of AI model development and updates. Alibaba's Qwen models have, in particular, gained a popular following. BLOOMBERG

Asia's wealthy investors seek more crypto in portfolios
[HONG KONG / SINGAPORE] Wealthy Asian families and family offices are ramping up their cryptocurrency investments, driven by the bullishness around digital assets, increased mainstream adoption and favourable regulatory developments in key markets. Wealth managers said they are receiving more enquiries, cryptocurrency exchanges have seen trading volumes surge and crypto funds are in huge demand as high-net-worth Asian investors seek more exposure. 'We raised over US$100 million in just a few months, and the response from LPs has been encouraging,' said Jason Huang, founder of NextGen Digital Venture, referring to Limited Partners that represent high net-worth individuals. Huang launched a new long-short crypto equity fund, the Next Generation Fund II, in Singapore in late May, after winding down his first fund last year, which returned 375 per cent in less than two years. 'Our investors – mainly family offices and Internet/fintech entrepreneurs, recognise the growing role of digital assets in diversified portfolios,' he said. Swiss investment bank UBS said some overseas Chinese family offices plan to raise their crypto exposure to around 5 per cent of their portfolios.

Sign Up Sign Up 'Many second- and third-generation individuals of family offices are starting to learn about and participate in virtual currencies,' said Lu Zijie, head of wealth management at UBS China. The surging interest comes on the back of strong cryptocurrency returns and favourable regulatory developments in the US under President Donald Trump, such as the recently approved GENIUS Act. Bitcoin prices have been hitting record highs this month, surpassing US$124,000. Hong Kong's recent passage of its stablecoin legislation has also fuelled a wave of crypto enthusiasm. 'The momentum has definitely built, and I think it's a function of just general maturity of the asset class,' said Saad Ahmed, head of Asia-Pacific at crypto exchange Gemini. Wealth managers said the mindset among Asian clients has changed from merely wanting to have a small allocation to digital currencies a few years ago to now embracing it as a must-have in portfolios and exploring tools to optimise returns. 'Last year, they (family offices) started to dip their feet into Bitcoin they have begun to learn the difference of holding a token directly,' said Zann Kwan, chief investment officer at Singapore-based Revo Digital Family Office. Lighthouse Canton, a Singapore-based wealth manager, said some more sophisticated family offices have started adopting market-neutral strategies, such as basis trades and arbitrage. Giselle Lai, associate investment director for digital assets at Fidelity International, said investors are increasingly treating Bitcoin as a 'portfolio diversifier' to hedge macro uncertainties, given its low correlation with stocks and bonds. Cryptocurrency exchanges have also benefitted from increased trading demand. The number of registered users at Hong Kong's HashKey Exchange surged 85 per cent year-on-year by August 2025, the firm said. Total trading volumes at South Korea's three major exchanges grew 17 per cent so far in 2025 over the same period of 2024, with average daily trading volumes rising more than 20 per cent, according to research platform CryptoQuant.
