ByteDance advances DeepSeek work in AI reasoning with open-source project led by intern
TikTok owner ByteDance, which has invested heavily in artificial intelligence (AI), has unveiled a new system that claims to improve on the work done by DeepSeek in training AI reasoning models. Advertisement DAPO, or Decoupled Clip and Dynamic Sampling Policy Optimisation, is a scalable reinforcement learning algorithm that helps a large language model (LLM) achieve better complex reasoning behaviour such as self-verification and iterative refinement, according to a research paper published earlier this week by ByteDance and Tsinghua University's Institute for AI Industry Research. The algorithm outperformed the reinforcement learning approach in DeepSeek's R1 reasoning model, scoring 50 points in the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) 2024 using Alibaba Group Holding's Qwen2.5-32B base model, compared with 47 points attained by R1 when applying the same Alibaba model, the paper showed. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post. Notably, DAPO achieved the better result with 50 per cent fewer training steps. TikTok owner ByteDance has invested heavily in artificial intelligence.

Google DeepMind engineer Philipp Schmid, who shared the project on X, said the new method was 'better than' DeepSeek's 'group relative policy optimisation (GRPO)' in reinforcement learning. GRPO is one of DeepSeek's training methods that enables a model to learn by comparing different actions and making updates with a 'group' of observations.

Elon Musk unveils xAI's Grok 3 claiming it is ‘smartest AI on Earth'
Ammon News - Elon Musk unveiled his AI company's new flagship AI model, Grok 3, which he claimed is the 'smartest on Earth'. The multibillionaire owner of Tesla, SpaceX and the AI firm xAI launched Grok 3 on Tuesday for iOS and the web, claiming the latest version is 'complete with 10X more compute' than its previous version. Grok 3 has been in development for several months and was slated for release in 2024 but missed its target. The AI firm has been building a large data centre in Memphis with over 200,000 GPUs particularly to train Grok 3. In December, Mr Musk said the training data set for Grok 3 also included court cases, claiming that the AI model would 'render extremely compelling legal verdicts'. 'Grok 3 is an order of magnitude more capable than Grok 2...[It's a] maximally truth-seeking AI, even if that truth is sometimes at odds with what is politically correct,' the Tesla and SpaceX boss said during a live-streamed launch of the AI on Tuesday. The company claims Grok 3 beats OpenAI's GPT-4o on several benchmarks, including the AIME test which evaluates an AI model's performance on math questions as well as GPQA which tests the physics, biology, and chemistry problem-solving skills. Grok 3 is currently available for Premium+ subscribers on X. xAI said it is also launching a new subscription plan called SuperGrok for the Grok mobile app and website users. Users can use separate modes of Grok 3 – one that requires the chatbot to 'Think,' and another 'Big Brain' mode for more difficult queries for which the AI uses additional computing. Independent

Record-breaking MRO Middle East and AIME 2025 reinforces the region's status as the leading global aerospace hub
Leaders from across the global aviation supply chain connected in the Middle East to discuss cutting-edge technologies and next-generation solutions DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – MRO Middle East and Aircraft Interiors Middle East (AIME) 2025 witnessed its largest edition to date, with record-breaking attendance, significant deals and announcements, and global experts engaging in sessions on key industry themes. The co-located events welcomed 8,342 attendees, an 11% increase from a previous record in 2024. Over 100 countries were represented, and 268 exhibitors showcased their latest aftermarket products and services Duncan Valentine, Sales Development Manager at flydocs, said: 'MRO Middle East and AIME has been an exceptional event for us, bringing together all our clients in one place, with a strong focus on business and collaboration. The Middle East is a powerhouse market, spanning everything from engine components to full fleets. At flydocs, we are deeply committed to this rapidly growing region and look forward to driving innovation and strengthening partnerships in the years ahead.' Some of the notable announcements included Etihad Engineering, one of the world's leading aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul services providers, citing that it aims to double its revenues from around $270 million at the end of 2023 to $540 million by 2030, along with adding significant hangar capacity in Abu Dhabi as part of a broader growth strategy. Satair, an Airbus Services company, and Etihad Engineering also announced their intention to enter into an agreement for an Integrated Material Services (IMS) supply chain solution, underscoring the industry's evolution and investment in new facilities and technologies. Insightful conference sessions continued during day two at the Go Live! Theater, where industry leaders explored critical topics shaping the future of the sector. During a fireside chat on scaling up Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Brian Long, Regional Managing Director for Middle East and North Africa for Boeing, said: 'Scaling SAF is essential, but it must remain truly sustainable. The biggest challenge is building the ecosystem—reducing costs, increasing production, and ensuring airlines procure SAF despite its significantly higher cost compared to conventional fuel. Effective policies are key to supporting SAF development. The UAE has the full value chain in place to lead, and its leadership recognises this critical challenge. Their achievements are commendable, and we believe the UAE will continue to drive SAF adoption globally.' In a region where aviation is a key driver of economic development, the panel 'The Future of MRO in the Middle East' featured insights from Marcel Gerth-Noritzsch, Director Operations Aero Engine MRO at SANAD; Natalie Stone, Director, LEAP Material Solutions, Customer Programs at GE Aerospace; and Eng Guan Tay, Manager at ST Engineering. During the panel, Marcel Gerth-Noritzsch highlighted: "The region has the potential to become one of the world's leading aviation hubs, but achieving this requires strong collaboration among airlines, OEMs, MROs, and government regulators to shape a unified vision for the future. Strengthening local supply chains and investing in the next generation of aviation professionals will also be critical. By working with universities and schools to establish dedicated aviation programs, we can build a sustainable pipeline of talent and reinforce the region's long-term position in the industry." Meanwhile, the session titled 'Next-Gen Cabin Concepts' highlighted how sustainability is driving innovation in aircraft interior design, leading to the development of cutting-edge cabin and seating solutions. 'Circular aviation plays a crucial role in maximising the value of aircraft parts throughout their lifecycle, ensuring efficiency both during and after use,' said Dr. Davinder Surah, Aviation and Aerospace Engineering Specialist at the Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training at Khalifa Bin Zayed Air College. 'Beyond sustainability, it also has a significant cost impact, influencing the development of new materials and driving more efficient resource utilisation across the industry." Reflecting on the overall impact of the event, Waleed Muhiddin, Chief Marketing Officer at AMAC Aerospace, said: "AMAC Aerospace Group is proud to be part of MRO Middle East, with a steady flow of engaging conversations and business solutions. As a group, we bridge the commercial sector with business aviation, whereby we can offer maintenance solutions with engineering capabilities. The show has demonstrated the need to offset expensive show costs with more regional and agile conventions like these MRO shows."
