TRUMP FLOATS 50-YEAR MORTGAGES TO HELP YOUNG HOMEBUYERS Trump compared the idea to FDR’s creation of the 30-year mortgage, which helped millions of Americans afford homes during the Great Depression. A 50-year term could cut monthly payments and open the housing market to a new generation locked out by high prices and interest rates. No formal policy has been announced yet, but the concept is already sparking debate.

More info on some of the AI projects China is experimenting on. Tencent + Tsinghua just dropped a paper called Continuous Autoregressive Language Models (CALM) and it basically kills the “next-token” paradigm every LLM is built on. Instead of predicting one token at a time, CALM predicts continuous vectors that represent multiple tokens at once. Meaning: the model doesn’t think “word by word”… it thinks in ideas per step. Here’s why that’s insane → 4× fewer prediction steps (each vector = ~4 tokens) → 44% less training compute → No discrete vocabulary pure continuous reasoning → New metric (BrierLM) replaces perplexity entirely They even built a new energy-based transformer that learns without softmax no token sampling, no vocab ceiling. It’s like going from speaking Morse code… to streaming full thoughts. If this scales, every LLM today is obsolete. Report taken from Robert Yousseff, link to paper

Continuous Autoregressive Language Models

The efficiency of large language models (LLMs) is fundamentally limited by their sequential, token-by-token generation process. We argue that overc...

🇮🇷 Iran will create a Hebrew-language TV channel. The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution has mandated Iranian television to launch an international channel in Hebrew. This decision, approved under the chairmanship of the President of Iran, is aimed at "countering the propaganda of the Israeli regime in the media space."
