Chinese researchers build military AI using Meta’s open-source Llama model — ChatBIT allegedly performs at around 90% of the performance of OpenAI GPT-4 LLM Chinese researchers with ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have built an AI model called ChatBIT, designed for military applications using Meta’s open-source Llama model. According to Reuters, some researchers are associated with the Academy of Military Science (AMS), the PLA’s top research group. Three academic papers and several analysts have confirmed the information, with ChatBIT using Meta’s Llama 13B large language model (LLM). This LLM has been modified for intelligence gathering and processing, allowing military planners to use it for operational decision-making.

Dungeons & Dragons: Best Special Facilities For Your Bastion The 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide for Dungeons & Dragons includes a new feature for players called bastions. These places can be unlocked at level five and work as bases of operations for players who want them, giving them a place to stay between adventures and a source of useful items or enchantments. Players make Bastions their own, and the facilities they choose will shape how they use them. You get special facilities when you first unlock your bastion and then again at levels nine, 13, and 17, but you’ll need to know which facilities shine above the others if you want your hideout to be the best it can be.

Meta is using more than 100,000 Nvidia H100 AI GPUs to train Llama-4 — Mark Zuckerberg says that Llama 4 is being trained on a cluster “bigger than anything that I’ve seen” Mark Zuckerberg said on a Meta earnings call earlier this week that the company is training Llama 4 models “on a cluster that is bigger than 100,000 H100 AI GPUs, or bigger than anything that I’ve seen reported for what others are doing.” While the Facebook founder didn’t give any details on what Llama 4 could do, Wired quoted Zuckerberg referring to Llama 4 as having “new modalities,” “stronger reasoning,” and “much faster.” This is a crucial development as Meta competes against other tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Musk’s xAI to develop the next generation of AI LLMs.

Make spruces up Agetec arcade stick with two Raspberry Pi Picos Retro gaming goes with the Raspberry Pi like peanut butter and jelly, and today, we've got a delicious sandwich of a project to share that highlights this pair in a totally unique and versatile fashion. Maker and developer ZeroShifter, as they're known over at Reddit, is using not one but two Raspberry Pi Pico microcontrollers to spruce up his old Agetex arcade stick with some serious compatibility upgrades. This controller was initially designed for the Sega Dreamcast, but some people enjoy the user experience, like ZeroShifter. Wanting to use it on more than just this classic console, he sought a way to modify the arcade stick so that it could be used with various other consoles. The result is two Picos crammed inside the case for a range of support from PlayStations and XBoxes to PCs and even the Nintendo Switch. According to ZeroShifter, it also supports VMU saves.

Dungeons & Dragons: 8 Biggest Spell Changes In The 2024 Player's Handbook, Ranked While the 2024 Player's Handbook for Dungeons & Dragons added a few new spells, it also made plenty of changes to existing spells. In most cases, it just adds more healing or damage, but in a few select spells, the effects are so different that it might as well be a new spell altogether. We’ve chosen the spells most impacted by the changes in the 2024 Handbook; that way, you can be better prepared for future campaigns. If you’re looking for changes to cantrips, we’ve covered that in a different article since we are focusing here on spells level 1 or higher. While the 2014 rendition of the Grease spell didn’t specify that it was flammable, many players assumed so. It was such a popular belief that, in Baldur’s Gate 3, the spell is indeed flammable, making for interesting combos with any fire-based spells.

The Russian voice acting of Baldur's Gate 3 has received an update with 6,000 new replicas and is compatible with the seventh patch. The enthusiast has finalized the unofficial localization Baldur's Gate 3 is a large-scale game, but modern technology allows you to assemble voice acting in the desired language. The developers of Baldur's Gate 3 have provided a translation into Russian, but only text localization is available. Some would like to get Russian voice acting as well. However, Baldur's Gate 3 is a large—scale role-playing game, so it is quite problematic to expect "traditional" voice acting, you will need to allocate a lot of resources, but there is an alternative solution - modern technologies (the capabilities of "artificial intelligence") come to the rescue here.

Goldfish "defeated" the final boss of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree The GamesRadar portal drew attention to the fact that the final boss of the large-scale Shadow of the Erdtree addition to the Elden Ring submitted to an ordinary goldfish. The material contains spoilers for the addon. The hero of this story is the Tortellini goldfish, owned by the PointCrow streamer — real name Eric Morino — and last summer already "defeated" several bosses from the main Elden Ring campaign. Morino connected the control of the Elden Ring character to Tortellini's position in the aquarium. In which part of the tank the fish brain will bring the streamer's pet, the hero on the screen will perform such an action. Thus, Tortellini was able to defeat the Future consort Radan, who acts as the final boss in Shadow of the Erdtree — certainly one of the most difficult opponents in the addon and Elden Ring in general.

The event is celebrated by both fans and developers themselves. Recently, the authors of Baldur's Gate 3 launched the YouTube channel Larian: Channel From Hell. Videos began to appear on it gradually. They presented a "thank you video" — in August, they celebrate the year since the release of Baldur's Gate 3 version 1.0. First, Sven Vinke addressed the fans, and then most of the video was devoted to the main thing — the community, without which Baldur's Gate 3 could not have become the same large-scale role-playing game, the full version of which was released last summer.
