epoch.ai, Epoch AI · 3 sourcesepoch.ai · 3 sources · 4 reports · Epoch AI released the InnovationEval benchmark, testing whether frontier AI can independently discover machine learning algorithm innovations that are new to it, benchmarked against the Self-Distillation Policy Optimization (SDPO) proposed in a human paper. The task requires an agent to start from GRPO and develop new post-training improvement methods, improving short-answer and coding task performance on Qwen3-8B, with a budget of 3,000 GPU hours. Results show that GPT-5.6 Sol and Claude Fable 5 both did not come close to SDPO: Sol's method, adjusted for the same wall-clock time, reached only 15% of SDPO's gain, or about 35% under lenient scoring; Fable 5 showed no measurable improvement. Both merely reused known techniques. Epoch AI also estimates that, based on AI chips shipped before 2027, if cheap models are run, the world could support nearly 2 billion concurrent AI agents, while running frontier models would support about 30 million to 170 million; the cost of reaching a fixed AI performance level has fallen about 47% per quarter over the past three years.
CNBC TV18 / Bloomberg, The Decoder · 4 sourcesCNBC TV18 / Bloomberg · 4 sources · 4 reports · 据 Bloomberg 援引知情人士消息，DeepSeek 最新一轮融资接近敲定至少 800 亿元人民币（约 120 亿美元），腾讯控股和宁德时代承诺金额位居前列。DeepSeek 最初计划募资约 500 亿元，因投资者需求超出预期，最终规模可能接近 1000 亿元。知情人士称，融资完成后下一步是重组公司以筹备 2027 年初的 IPO，公司最初目标估值约 5000 亿元。CNBC 另称，DeepSeek 正考虑将融资规模扩大至最高 1000 亿元人民币，为此前 500 亿元目标的两倍，本轮最初预计 8 月底完成，因部分投资者对价格犹豫而延后，谈判已接近尾声。DeepSeek、腾讯和宁德时代均未立即回应置评请求。
