WWE Money in the Bank 2025 predictions: 3 superstars who can win the Women's ladder match
Image via WWE WWE Money in the Bank will feature a high-stakes ladder match for the women's division, like every year. The next WWE Premium Live Event set to captivate the fans each year is Money in the Bank. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, June 7th, at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. The venue last played host to Monday Night RAW's debut on Netflix and will return for the PLE this week. One of the top highlights of the show will feature the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. Six competitors will attempt to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase hanging above the ring. The winner would receive a Women's title match at any time and place of their choice. With the power possessed inside the MITB briefcase that can change careers, here are the three top contenders who can win the match this year: 3. Roxanne Perez The year 2024 in WWE NXT belonged to none other than Roxanne Perez. The Prodigy carried the developmental territory on her back as the dominant NXT Women's Champion. She signed with Monday Night RAW two weeks ago and made a huge impact on her first night itself by qualifying for the Money in the Bank ladder match. With a year of success under her belt and highly popular among the fans, Perez stands a big chance to climb the ladder and grab the coveted briefcase. 2. Giulia The WWE Universe speculated for months before Giulia arrived in WWE NXT last year. Within months of her debut, The Beautiful Madness made a huge impact with top-tier matches and won the NXT Women's title at the start of 2025. With less than a year since her arrival, Giulia has already become a part of SmackDown and qualified for the Money in the Bank match in her debut performance on the blue brand, making her a top contender to emerge victorious at the PLE. 1. Stephanie Vaquer Much like Giulia, her international sensation counterpart, Stephanie Vaquer had a very similar road. The Dark Angel, within months of her NXT debut, was holding both the NXT Women's and North American titles at the same time. Her short yet remarkable tenure landed her a spot on Monday Night RAW last week and she also qualified for the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match. With a huge ovation received on her first night on RAW and all the success backing her caliber, La Primera can be the one to win MITB this Saturday.

Tachyum Radically Cuts the Cost of DeepSeek by Quantizing it to 2-bits
LAS VEGAS, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tachyum® today announced the release of a new white paper detailing how it efficiently scales Large Language Model (LLM) training and inference through the Mixture of Experts (MoE) approach. The company's method is further improved by a DeepSeekMoE architecture with 4-bit FP4 data types for activations quantization and 2-bit Tachyum AI (TAI2) sparse weights quantization. The white paper, "Tachyum Successfully Quantized DeepSeek LLM to its 2-bit TAI2," illustrates how Tachyum integrates MoE with low-bit data formats to unlock scalable AI with unmatched efficiency. The combination allows for the development of more powerful models while significantly lowering resource requirements. MoEs can match the performance of dense models using approximately 4 times less computing and memory bandwidth, while only memory capacity needs to be increased by approximately 4 times. It is expected that that ratio will continue to grow. This architecture benefits from Tachyum's proprietary high-performance memory, eliminating the need for costly high-bandwidth memory (HBM) solutions. Successfully quantizing DeepSeek LLM to 2-bit TAI2 further doubles benefit of DeepSeekMoE LLM compared to other architectures. Tachyum's AI researchers applied FP4 activation quantization and 2-bit TAI2 sparse weights quantization to DeepSeekMoE and Llama 3.1 models. Benchmark testing demonstrated up to 25x faster inference speeds and a 20x cost reduction per token, marking a major leap in LLM deployment efficiency. "DeepSeek approach has shown the potential to make next-generation models 10 times more efficient at today's costs, avoiding the exponential scaling challenges faced by organizations today," said Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of Tachyum. "With the Prodigy platform, we're enabling this kind of breakthrough efficiency for AI applications at global scale." The white paper also emphasizes the critical role of Tachyum's hardware in facilitating this transformation, showcasing the Prodigy Universal Processor's ability to support high-efficiency AI workloads with industry-leading performance. As a Universal Processor offering industry-leading performance for all workloads, Prodigy-powered data center servers can seamlessly and dynamically switch between computational domains (such as AI/ML, HPC, and cloud) with a single homogeneous architecture. By eliminating the need for expensive dedicated AI hardware and dramatically increasing server utilization, Prodigy reduces CAPEX and OPEX significantly while delivering unprecedented data center performance, power, and economics. Prodigy integrates 256 high-performance custom-designed 64-bit compute cores to deliver up to 18x the highest performing GPU for AI applications, 3x the performance of the highest-performing x86 processors for cloud workloads, and up to 8x that of the highest performing GPU for HPC.

Follow Tachyum About Tachyum Tachyum is transforming the economics of AI, HPC, public and private cloud workloads with Prodigy, the world's first Universal Processor. Prodigy unifies the functionality of a CPU, a GPU, and a TPU in a single processor to deliver industry-leading performance, cost and power efficiency for both specialty and general-purpose computing. As global data center emissions continue to contribute to a changing climate, with projections of their consuming 10 percent of the world's electricity by 2030, the ultra-low power Prodigy is positioned to help balance the world's appetite for computing at a lower environmental cost. Tachyum received a major purchase order from a US company to build a large-scale system that can deliver more than 50 exaflops performance, which will exponentially exceed the computational capabilities of the fastest inference or generative AI supercomputers available anywhere in the world today. Tachyum has offices in the United States, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Alien: Earth Stars Promise ‘Drooling, Snarling' Xenomorphs, Say Series Is ‘Tense' and ‘Not Just Jump Scares'
If you like your xenomorphs clocking in at eight feet tall and both 'drooling' and 'snarling,' FX and Hulu's Alien: Earth series has you covered. Announced more than four years ago and hailing from Noah Hawley (of FX's Fargo and Legion), Alien: Earth is set in 2120 when five corporations — Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold — wield the power of nations. More from TVLine King of the Hill Revival Sets August Premiere on Hulu - First Look at Grown-Up Bobby and Much More Yvonne Strahovski Makes Us Wonder: Did The Handmaid's Tale Finale Hint at a Pairing That Was There All Along? Nautilus Trailer: Captain Nemo Makes Waves in AMC's Jules Verne-Inspired Adventure Drama - Watch In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots operated by A.I.) exist alongside humans. But the game is changed when the founder of Prodigy unlocks a new advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The prototype hybrid is dubbed 'Wendy' and played by Sydney Chandler (Sugar). When a Weyland-Yutani spaceship crashes into Prodigy City, Wendy and other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms 'more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.' The cast also includes Timothy Olyphant (Justified) as Kirsh, Wendy's synth mentor/trainer, and Babou Ceesay (Into the Badlands) as Morrow, a good ol' fashioned cyborg — or as he puts it in the TVLine video above, 'an iPhone 1 in an iPhone 20 world.' Also in the Disney Upfront red carpet video above, Chandler shares an irony-filled anecdote about trekking to the Fargo set in Calgary to audition for Hawley, when it turns out they're practically neighbors back in Texas. She and Ceesay then tell me about the guy who plays the 'drooling, snarling' xenomorph that Wendy et al bump up against. Even though all make-believe, 'It's scary being chased by an alien, it does get to you!' avows Chandler. Ceesay in turn reports that he has seen a few episodes already, 'and there were moments where I was breathing a little shallower, waiting for that [scary] moment to hit.' All told, Alien: Earth, he says, is 'tense, it's not just jump scares.' Alien: Earth premieres Tuesday, Aug. 12, with the first two episodes available to stream on Hulu at 8 pm ET and airing on FX at 8/7c. The eight-episode season will continue with weekly drops each Tuesday on Hulu at 8 pm ET and on FX at 8/7c. The cast also includes Alex Lawther (The End of the F***ing World), Essie Davis (Faraway Downs), David Rysdahl (Fargo Season 5), Samuel Blenkin (Mary & George), Adarsh Gourav (Hostel Daze), Jonathan Ajayi (Noughts + Crosses), Erana James (The Wilds), Lily Newmark (A Gentleman in Moscow), Diêm Camille (Alex Rider) and Adrian Edmondson (EastEnders).

Paul Danan's heartbroken brother insists troubled actor 'didn't mean to die' and had been sober before tragic final relapse - five months on from his drugs related death aged 46
Paul Danan 's brother Jamie has insisted the troubled actor 'didn't mean die' five months on after his death from a cocktail of drugs including cocaine and heroin. The Hollyoaks star, 46, was found unresponsive at his flat in Bristol on January 15 before being pronounced dead by emergency service workers at the scene. Jamie, 48, revealed Paul had been sober shortly before his death and he will forever treasure a memory of them attending a Prodigy gig together during that time. He told The Mirror: 'I had probably my best night out with him, He was totally clean. He was very close with Liam from Prodigy. He was sort of like an honorary member in some ways'. 'It was amazing, but, sadly, he couldn't maintain his clean time', Jamie said that his brother sadly began using drugs again around Christmas 2024, but always assumed he'd bounce back. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking to the publication, he described his grief as 'raw' and 'surreal' saying that with less than two years between the pair he'd always considered his younger brother more of a twin. '[Paul] was troubled and underneath it all, he found things difficult which is why he relied on drink and drugs, that pressure was just taken off him in the end. He certainly didn't mean to die. Just whatever happened, happened, unfortunately. Paul had been staying in a 'dry house' - homes made to help with addiction support. In 2020 he moved back in with his parents in Essex after he became homeless having spent a reported £1million on rehab and recovery over the years. Speaking about his drug problems, the actor explained on a podcast that he was introduced to cocaine before going on to use crystal meth and heroin. Talking about his addictions and treatment during lockdown he said: 'I will probably go to Bristol … go and live in a dry house, I need to carry this on and be in a house with addicts who are in recovery.' Danan had been due to appear for a plea hearing at Warrington Magistrates' Court on January 16 after being charged with being in possession of cocaine and cannabis, according to court documents. He was also accused of driving whilst under the influence of drugs on October 2 last year, in Warrington, Cheshire after being stopped by police at the wheel of a Fiat 500. He was charged with two counts of possessing cocaine and one of driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs and was due to appear at Warrington Magistrates Court the day after he died. He was also fined £350 in 2010 after being caught with drugs. Paul is believed to have been put forward for a TV comeback on reality show Celebs Go Dating some three years after last appearing on TV in Celebrity Coach Trip. Paul played troublemaker Sol Patrick in the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks from 1997 until 2001, leaving after his character fled the country. The show won him fame and admirers - but he struggled to secure permanent acting work after his departure and struggled with substance use. He would later reinvent himself as a reality TV star, appearing on shows such as the original Celebrity Love Island, Celebrity Come Dine With Me and Celebrity Juice. He was also a housemate on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017. In what would prove to be one of his final interviews, he told MailOnline he had chosen to quit Hollyoaks to pursue a career in Hollywood - an admirable bid that never quite paid off. He said in November last year: 'Maybe years ago I shouldn't have left Hollyoaks, but I made that decision because after four years, I didn't want be typecast. 'Back then, everyone didn't want to be the next Ken Barlow. You wanted to go off and play different roles, especially when you're a real actor. 'I needed to play different roles, I mean how many storylines can one character have? I wanted to go to LA and I did. And I got very close to some very big, big films and things like that. But the rejection... the one thing I hate in life is rejection. 'I chose the one job in the world that that gives you that, go figure. But at the same time, I love it more than anything, just to be there on set and to be part of that world. It is everything that I always trained for. 'Acting is a tough job and I think you don't realise how lucky you are when you're in a soap and you've got the closest thing to a nine to five job in acting that you can get. And when you get out there, you're like s***, man, it is really tough.'
