0G Labs Achieves Breakthrough in Decentralized AI Training With 100 Billion+ Parameters
'DiLoCoX: A Low-Communication Large-Scale Training Framework for Decentralized Cluster' proposes training on slow networks using a low-communication, large-scale decentralized framework. By chaining a number of complementary technologies together, 0G has been able to overcome the shortfalls of incumbent decentralized models.
0G's researchers have demonstrated that DiLoCoX is capable of pre-training a 107B foundation model for the first time over a 1Gbps network. Its solution achieves 357x greater speeds in distributed training versus AllReduce while maintaining negligible degradation in model convergence. This achievement is believed to be the first decentralized training framework successfully applied to models with over 100 billion parameters.
In a field where centralized data centers dominate AI training due to their high-speed connectivity, DiLoCoX breaks new ground by enabling efficient, verifiable training on slower networks. The framework ingeniously combines Pipeline Parallelism, a Dual Optimizer Policy, One-Step-Delay Overlap of Communication and Local Training, and an Adaptive Gradient Compression Scheme. These innovations not only scale up model sizes dramatically but deliver significant speed improvements while preserving model convergence with minimal degradation.
In experiments detailed in the paper, 0G pre-trained a 107 billion parameter model – a scale roughly 10x larger than the recently released Intellect-1 model from PrimeIntellect – demonstrating its potential to democratize access to advanced AI infrastructure. This solution addresses key challenges in decentralized AI, including bandwidth constraints and the need for verifiable processing, setting the stage for more powerful yet decentralized AI development.
'DiLoCoX is both a proof of concept and a statement of intent,' said Michael Heinrich, CEO of 0G Labs. 'By making it possible to train enormous models in truly decentralized settings, we're not just pushing technical boundaries, but are unlocking a future where AI serves as a public good. This is about building an open ecosystem where anyone can contribute to and benefit from intelligent systems.'
The release of the paper supports 0G's commitment to advancing verifiable, democratized AI. As the foundation for high-performance infrastructure that unifies storage, compute, and data availability, 0G is on a mission to empower developers and researchers to create the next wave of AI-native applications.

Crypto exchange Bullish raises its stock price target as IPO date nears
Cryptocurrency exchange Bullish has updated its stock price target ahead of its initial public offering, the company said in a regulatory filing on Monday. Here's what you need to know about the changes to one of the most closely watched IPOs of the year. These no-fee travel cards are gunning for Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Underwater mortgages are climbing in Florida and Texas housing markets Housing market shift: This map shows where home sellers are cutting prices the most What's happened? Bullish, a cryptocurrency exchange and owner of the CoinDesk crypto news site, has filed an amendment to its Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In that amendment, Bullish revealed that it is upping both the number of shares it will be offering in its IPO as well as increasing its estimated offering share price. The amendment was filed with the SEC on Monday. In the amendment, Bullish revealed that it now plans to offer 30 million ordinary shares of Bullish stock. Previously, Bullish said it expected to issue 20.3 million shares in its IPO. Bullish has also raised its expected IPO price. Now the company says it expects to price shares between $32 and $33 each. Previously, Bullish said its shares would be offered for $28 to $31 each. Bullish stock will trade under the ticker BLSH. IPO calendar websites and a number of media outlets have reported that Bullish is expected to list it shares tomorrow (Wednesday, August 13) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Fast Company reached out to Bullish for more details on the timeline. Why is Bullish increasing its share price and offering? In its amended Form F-1, Bullish didn't explicitly state the reason that it was increasing both its share price range and the total number of shares it is offering in its IPO. However, whenever a company that is going public raises its share price or the number of shares it has on offer, it suggests a higher demand for its stock than once thought. As Fast Company previously reported, Bullish originally planned a 20.3 million share offering of $28 to $31 each, which would have valued Bullish at approximately $4.2 billion. But as noted by CNBC, under its new offering, Bullish now stands to be valued at $4.8 billion. The company is expected to raise about $990 million from its IPO. Bullish's IPO will be closely watched How investors react to Bullish's IPO will be closely watched by Wall Street. If Bullish has a successful IPO and shares surge after trading begins, it will suggest a growing investor appetite for initial public offerings heading into the second half of the year. Other private cryptocurrency companies will also be watching the Bullish IPO closely. Already this year, the markets have seen a number of high-profile crypto and fintech IPOs. Circle Internet Group, an issuer of stablecoins, went public in June and shares (NYSE: CRCL) soared a staggering 750%. However, after eToro went public in May, its shares (Nasdaq: ETOR) briefly spiked, before falling back some. Currently, ETOR shares are up about 6.3% for the year. Investors will be hoping that BLSH shares behave more like CRCL than ETOR.

This gaming PC feels like an Xbox 360 with an RTX 5090 inside - here's why
The Maingear MG-1 ($1,529) is one of the company's most affordable customizable gaming PCs, at least to start, so when Maingear offered to send us one for review I kept my expectations in check. But when the top-of-the-line MG-1 Ultimate ($5,269) that Maingear built for us finally showed up at my door, I was impressed. Before I even had a chance to plug it in and see how well it performs, I was charmed by the (fairly) portable mid-size case and the eye-catching custom panel on the front. One of the big selling points of the MG-1 are these swappable front panels, and I love how they remind me of the old Xbox 360 faceplate days. But if that was the most exciting aspect of this gaming PC I'd quickly lose interest. But after a month of testing and using the Maingear MG-1 Ultimate I'm pleased to report this is one of the best gaming PCs I've reviewed this year. Like most great gaming PCs it's pretty expensive, but if you can afford it you're getting a potent powerhouse that's easy to customize, easy to move and so quiet you'd barely know it was running, even after gaming for hours. Maingear MG-1 (starting) Maingear MG-1 (as reviewed) Price $1,529 $5,107 CPU AMD Ryzen 5 9600X AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 RAM 16GB 32GB Storage 1TB SSD 2TB SSD Ports (front) 4x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1x USB 3.1 Type-C, headphone/mic jack 4x USB 3.0 Type-A, 1x USB 3.1 Type-C, headphone/mic jack Ports (rear) 4x USB 2.0 Type-A, 2x USB 5Gbps Type-A, 1x USB 10Gbps Type-A, 1x USB-C 10Gbps 4x USB 2.0 Type-A, 2x USB 5Gbps Type-A, 1x USB 10Gbps Type-A, 1x USB-C 10Gbps Size 19 x 16.8 x 8.1 inches 19 x 16.8 x 8.1 inches Weight ~32 pounds ~32 pounds The custom MG-1 review unit that Maingear sent us is pretty expensive, but in return you get a compact, quiet gaming PC that can run many of the latest games at 4K with all the graphical settings cranked to max. Our testing reveals that even when you do that you can often expect to get around 60 frames per second at 4K, but it's not consistent. Some of the most demanding games, like Black Myth Wukong and Cyberpunk 2077, will push this system so hard at max settings that even the RTX 5090 and AMD Ryzen 9 CPU will struggle to keep a smooth 60 frames per second at 4K. To show you what I mean I've charted the Maingear MG-1's performance in key games below and put it up against two other pricey RTX 5090 gaming PCs we've reviewed recently, the Alienware Area 51 ($5,699 as tested) and the Corsair Vengeance i8300 ($7,399 as tested). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Maingear MG-1 Alienware Area 51 Corsair Vengeance i8300 Assassin's Creed Shadows (Ultra High) 65 76 64 Black Myth Wukong (Cinematic) 55 59 60 Cyberpunk 2077 53.6 56.7 57.5 Red Dead Redemption 2 (Ultra) 67 84.6 64.4 As you can see, the more expensive gaming PCs outperformed our Maingear MG-1 review unit by a small degree in most games. But in a few cases (namely Assassin's Creed Shadows and Red Dead Redemption 2) the Maingear actually beat out Corsair's Vengeance i8300 by a smidge. That's a bit amazing given that the Vengeance costs over $2,000 more and is also larger and heavier, so it's more of a pain to fit into your entertainment setup. So while the Alienware Area 51 desktop comes out smelling like roses, our testing proves the Maingear MG-1 is smaller and nearly as good as the Corsair despite being far cheaper. Maingear MG-1 Alienware Area 51 Corsair Vengeance i8300 Geekbench 6 single-core 3401 3148 3303 Geekbench 6 multi-core 23071 21786 23328 SSD speed test (MBps) 2107.9 1898.2 2480.5 Video editing test (mm:ss) 1:45 1:53 1:47 A similar story played out when we put the MG-1 Ultimate through our battery of general performance tests, but this time it performed a bit better compared to the more expensive Area 51 and Vengeance i8300. As you can see from the chart of results above, our MG-1 review unit consistently outperformed either the Alienware, the Corsair or both in our Geekbench 6 CPU tests and our SSD speed test. And in our video editing test, which times how long it takes the PC to transcode a 4K video down to 1080p using Handbrake, Maingear's MG-1 Ultimate actually outperformed both the Alienware and Corsair RTX 5090 PCs. Factor in the fact that our MG-1 review unit is cheaper and smaller than either competitor, and you start to see why I love this mid-size gaming rig. Another thing I love about the MG-1 Ultimate is how quiet it is, even after hours of playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 4K with all settings cranked to max. While I do hear the fans spin up after extended (1-2+ hours) gaming sessions or when the room gets quite toasty, I almost never notice them. And when I finally did, I had to fire up our Corsair Vengeance i8300 review unit to remind me what a really beastly full-sized gaming tower PC can sound like when things get hot and heavy. The MG-1 Ultimate doesn't get terribly toasty under load, either. When I was testing the Vengeance i8300, for example, I noticed that after a few hours of PC gaming on the couch my entire living room would feel warm. By contrast, Maingear's mid-sized rig doesn't feel noticeably warm, even after hours of gaming, unless I put my hand directly against the exhaust. I like a PC case that's neatly organized and easy to open, so I'm very happy with the MG-1 case that houses this beastly machine. Not only does the PC run quiet and have lots of room to work inside the case, the tempered glass side panel is easy to remove once you remove the screws fastening it in place. Popping it back on is just as easy, which I really appreciate. Maingear touts a few additional selling points for this case, including the fact that the MG-1 was designed in partnership with company co-owner, professional game streamer and former pro eSports player Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek. That's all fine and good, but I'm more excited about the swappable magnetic front panel. Hey, I get maybe not everyone will love the silly appeal of being able to order new swappable front panels from Maingear for $99 a pop (or $129 if you want a custom one), but I love it. There are loads of fun designs and patterns to choose from, and the whole thing reminds me of nothing so much as the swappable faceplates we used to use on the old Xbox 360. While it's a bit goofy that Maingear custom-printed us one with the TG logo on it for the purposes of this review, I have to admit I like seeing a pop of color on the PC when I sit down at my desk every morning. And since the Maingear logo in the top center of the panel glows in concert with the PC's RGB settings, whatever front panel you add will feature a fun bit of RBG flair winking out from the middle. As much as I like the 2025 Maingear MG-1 Ultimate, there is one big downside to buying one that I should make clear before wrapping up. After a month with this machine I can't find anything to complain about besides the high price, and that's par for the course when you're buying high-end gaming PCs." Look, I would have a hard time affording the MG-1 Ultimate that Maingear sent us for review on my journalist's salary. I could do it, but I'd probably spend half a year or more scrimping and saving to minimize the strain on my credit. Most people will likely face a similar quandary when considering whether to buy a boutique PC like the MG-1. Now admittedly, you can get a less powerful version for thousands of dollars less—upgrading from the base RTX 5050 to the top-of-the-line GeForce RTX 5090 GPU adds over $2,500 to the price alone, for example. And again, this high-end MG-1 Ultimate performs nearly as well or better in our testing as 2025 gaming PCs that cost hundreds or thousands more. So while it is damn expensive, if you're aiming for RTX 5090 levels of performance this might actually be a fairly canny way of maximizing what you get for your money. If it's not clear already, I'm quite fond of Maingear's 2025 MG-1 Ultimate. The machine Maingear sent us for review packs a powerful AMD + Nvidia CPU/GPU combo that punches above its weight in terms of performance, and I love how quiet it remains even after hours of use. But even when it's switched off, I like how nice the MG-1 looks on a desk (especially with a cool front panel design) and I appreciate how easy it is to move from room to room. And when it's time to upgrade or swap something out, I love that you can quickly unscrew some fasteners and pop the side panel off for easy access. After a month with this machine I can't find anything to complain about besides the high price, and that's par for the course when you're buying high-end gaming PCs. So if that's what you're after, I highly recommend Maingear's MG-1 as one of the best I've tested in 2025.

Global Medical REIT Inc. Announces the Approval of a $50 Million Common Stock Repurchase Program and One-for-Five Reverse Stock Split
BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Medical REIT Inc. (NYSE: GMRE) (the 'Company' or 'GMRE'), today announced that its Board of Directors (the 'Board') approved a $50 million common stock repurchase program and reverse stock split of the Company's common stock at a ratio of one-for-five. Common Stock Repurchase Program On August 12, 2025, the Board approved a $50 million common stock repurchase program (the 'Program'). Under the Program, the Company may purchase up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), from time to time in the open market, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in accordance with applicable securities laws. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations. The Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Reverse Stock Split On August 12, 2025, the Board approved a reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of one-for-five (the 'Reverse Stock Split'). The Reverse Stock Split is expected to take effect as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 19, 2025 (the 'Effective Time'). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, at the Effective Time, every five issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be converted into one share of Common Stock, with a proportionate reduction in the Company's (i) authorized shares of Common Stock, (ii) outstanding equity awards, (iii) number of shares remaining available for issuance under the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and (iv) outstanding common units of the Company's operating partnership, Global Medical REIT L.P. The par value of each share of Common Stock will remain unchanged. Trading in the Common Stock on a split adjusted basis is expected to begin at the market open on September 22, 2025. The Common Stock will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol 'GMRE' but will be assigned a new CUSIP number. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder that otherwise would receive fractional shares will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional shares, cash in an amount based on the closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of the Effective Time. The Reverse Stock Split will apply to all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time and therefore will not affect any stockholder's ownership percentage of shares of Common Stock, except for de minimis changes resulting from the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. Stockholders of record will be receiving information from Equiniti Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent, regarding their stock ownership following the Reverse Stock Split and cash in lieu of fractional share payments, if applicable. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in 'street name' are not required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
