Delhi and its surrounding areas, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad, are currently shrouded in dense smog, with the air quality index (AQI) in Delhi classified as 'Severe' after surpassing the 400 mark. Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad are categorized as 'Poor,' while Faridabad's AQI stands at 188, deemed 'Moderate.' This deterioration follows a two-week period where Delhi's air quality remained in the 'Very Poor' range. In response, the second stage of the Graded Response Action Plan is in effect, which includes measures like mechanical road sweeping and dust control at construction sites. The air quality crisis extends across the Indo-Gangetic Plains, with several cities in Bihar, Haryana, and Chandigarh ranking among the nation's most polluted. Meanwhile, UNICEF has raised alarms about the health risks posed to 11 million children in Pakistan's Punjab province due to similar pollution concerns.

Published: Nov 14 2024, 8 ameznews.inLeading AI companies, including OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, are encountering significant challenges in developing advanced models, resulting in diminishing returns from their investments. OpenAI's latest model, Orion, which was expected to outperform prior iterations like GPT-4, has not met performance expectations, particularly in coding tasks due to insufficient training data. Similarly, Google’s upcoming Gemini software and Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Opus have also faced setbacks. The difficulties stem from a scarcity of high-quality training data and the rising costs associated with model development, prompting skepticism about the feasibility of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Experts suggest that a shift in training approaches may be necessary to overcome these hurdles. As a result, companies are now focusing on enhancing existing models and exploring new use cases rather than solely prioritizing larger models, indicating a potential shift in strategy within the tech industry.
