The first half was characterized by a dominant performance, high possession, and a strong defensive strategy.

Although Bay FC faltered in the second half, Rachel Kundananji's spectacular goal thrilled the fans before the game was lost in stoppage time.

xAI: Grok is now open source: xAI announced on March 12 that it would publish the source code of the LLM model / chatbot Grok. This has now happened - ...

Quick Glance: Grok-1 Chatbot Code Released - Open Source or Pandora's Box?

Elon Musk has released the code behind the xAI chatbot Grok-1, including the network architecture and model weights. The chatbot was released under the Apache 2.0 license and has 314 billion parameters that require hardware with sufficient GPU memory to run.

Critics have highlighted the relatively sluggish performance in benchmarks compared to other models. Grok-1 has access to real-time data via X.com and differs from other LLMs trained on data with a cutoff point in time.

Based on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy model, Grok-1 is intended to answer almost anything and suggest questions. The release coincides with the first anniversary of OpenAI's GPT-4 model launch, while Musk is in legal disputes with former AI colleagues.

The release of Grok-1's code and weights aims to diverge from OpenAI's proprietary approach. Open-sourcing AI tools has sparked controversy, with concerns about potential abuse and arguments for the benefits of transparency.

Kansas City Chiefs have definitively answered questions about their dominance as the newest NFL dynasty.

San Francisco 49ers will return almost intact in 2024 with an easier path to Super Bowl than Chiefs.

Buffalo narrowly missed overtime against Kansas City in the playoffs.

Detroit Lions were undoubtedly the franchise's best team of the Super Bowl era, but could be surpassed in 2024.

Quick Glance: Tax Relief: Government Reduces High-end Tax Rates

The government reduces stage 3 tax cuts for high earners and grants broad tax relief of up to $804.

Changes to stage 3 tax cuts are made by the Albanese government due to changing economic circumstances.

In addition to changes in tax rates and thresholds, the government will exempt some low-income individuals from the 2% Medicare levy.

The stage 3 changes constitute a clear broken promise - the government insisted as recently as Monday that it had not changed its commitment to the Coalition-era cuts.
