In the fast-paced world of football transfers, the saga of Kai Havertz's move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea was a thrilling rollercoaster ride that kept fans on the edge of their seats. While Liverpool's near-miss may have left some disappointed, the drama and excitement of the transfer window only served to highlight the intensity and competitiveness of the modern game.

In conclusion, Mourinho's call for justice and accountability should not go unheeded. Football must be a game where rules are respected, and violators are held to account. Let us strive for a future where all clubs, big or small, face the consequences of their actions, ensuring a level playing field for everyone involved. As Mourinho rightly points out, "big clubs shouldn't escape punishment." It is time for football to reclaim its integrity and uphold the principles that make it the beautiful game that it is.CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 10, 2024-- Aizip, Inc. in partnership with SoftBank Corp., announced the release of customized Small Language Model (SLM) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions for enterprise applications. The system operates locally on mobile devices or on-premises servers, addressing the pressing concerns of enterprise data safety. Fine-tuned with domain specific data, these SLMs can address unique enterprise tasks with comparable accuracy to 100x larger cloud LLMs. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241210832520/en/ (Graphic: Business Wire) This announcement comes as many companies have implemented bans on cloud-based LLMs for business-related tasks, citing concerns about leaks of private information. A recent survey from Menlo Ventures found that 21% of failed AI pilots were due to data-privacy hurdles. Fine-tuned SLMs are an alternative to general LLMs, offering security and privacy of information along with the benefits of AI-enabled work. Many enterprises have explored using open-source Small Language Models that run locally and efficiently on-premises as replacements for cloud-based LLMs. However, these models have generally turned out to be too unreliable to meet production-level performance requirements. Aizip and SoftBank address this challenge with innovative new solutions. The joint team developed and delivered a customized SLM integrated into a RAG system, running locally as a mobile application. When applied to SoftBank’s internal documents the application offers employees a Q&A platform that generates accurate, up-to-date response, running entirely on an iPhone 14. Testing shows that the system satisfactorily addresses 97% of employee questions, and response quality measured on a dataset of 22,000 questions matched responses generated by a GPT-4o-based RAG system. The key to this unique reliability is Aizip’s SLM-customization pipeline, which includes high-quality data generation, fine-tuning, and multifaceted evaluation. “While there are an increasing number of open-source SLMs available today, off-the-shelf models often fall short of the production accuracy required for enterprise tasks,” noted Aizip SLM-development lead Weier Wan. Aizip’s SLM-customization pipeline is run iteratively until target accuracy is achieved, so enterprises no longer need to choose between privacy and performance. Although the first product was developed for the iPhone, Aizip’s flexible SLM-deployment tools allow SLMs and RAG systems to run on a variety of edge platforms, including on-premises servers, PCs, and even IoT devices like microprocessors (MPUs), as announced in June 2024. Looking ahead, the joint team aims to leverage SoftBank’s rich expertise in enterprise services and Aizip’s cutting-edge AI technology to expand customized SLM solutions to a broader range of applications and customers. “Privacy-critical and offline-required use cases can benefit greatly from Aizip’s on-device AI technology,” described SoftBank vice president Katsuya Kitazawa, head of the Information Technology & Architect Division. “Whether assisting flight attendants on airplanes or supporting field workers in remote locations, we’re excited to collaborate with Aizip to bring this innovation to more users and businesses.” Aizip remains committed to delivering production-grade AI solutions for a variety of on-device applications. With extensive experience in developing robust and efficient AI models across Aizip Intelligent Audio (AIA), Vision (AIV), and Time-Series (AIT) product lines, Aizip continues to pioneer SLM technology, focused on improved accuracy, reliability, speed, and development efficiency.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia home led to a deadly car crash with a police officer, authorities said. An unknown person messaged the police department in Rome, Ga., on Monday and claimed there was a pipe bomb in Greene’s mailbox , according to Atlanta Fox affiliate WAGA. Greene lives in the city about 55 miles northwest of Atlanta. As cops raced to the scene, a member of the local bomb squad crashed into another vehicle , USA Today reported. The unnamed officer struck Tammie Pickelsimer, 66, as she was pulling out of a parking lot, authorities said. Pickelsimer was rushed to a local hospital , where she succumbed to her injuries, according to CBS News. The officer did not suffer serious injuries in the wreck. “I’m heartsick right now,” Greene wrote Monday on social media . “My prayers are with Tammie Pickelsimer, her family, the officer who was injured, and the entire Rome Police Department.” Greene, known for her far-right views, loyalty to Donald Trump and outspoken nature , has been targeted multiple times by fake bomb threats and other swatting calls in the four years since she was elected to the House of Representatives.

Vice President Sara Duterte —Noy Morcoso/INQUIRER.net MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte will skip for the second time her scheduled appearance at the National Bureau of Investigation to host a thanksgiving party for reporters covering the Office of the Vice President (OVP). The Vice President said her lawyers advised her that her presence was not needed at the NBI, which is investigating the alleged threats she made against President Marcos, his wife Liza Araneta-Marcos and cousin Speaker Martin Romualdez last month. READ: VP Sara Duterte no-show at NBI, asks for rescheduling “I am also unavailable on that day because aside from that (advice by lawyers), we will also hold our thanksgiving activities [with the media] on Dec. 11,” Duterte told reporters in Davao City on Monday night. “After the thanksgiving activities, I have to fly back here in Davao City for the burial of my uncle,” she added. Duterte was earlier issued a subpoena to appear at the NBI on Nov. 29, but she asked the bureau to reschedule as she was planning to attend a House hearing on that date. The House committee then postponed its inquiry to allow Duterte to comply with the NBI subpoena, but Duterte said she was informed too late about the change in schedule. It was only last week when Duterte’s staff sent invitations to the media, including the Inquirer, for the Dec. 11 lunch party to be held at the OVP headquarters in Mandaluyong City. This was after the NBI issued a second summons for her to appear on the same day. During an expletive-laden, online press conference around midnight of Nov. 23, Duterte said she had spoken with someone about assassinating the President, the first lady and the Speaker, should she herself be killed. The NBI later opened an investigation of Duterte for possible offenses, including grave threats and violations of the cybercrime and antiterrorism laws. The Vice President later defended her outburst, saying her statement was premised on a scenario where she, too, would be killed. “From what I understand based on my lawyers’ explanation about the NBI investigation, I was told that I can skip it,” she said, adding: “They said I can just submit a letter, an affidavit or a position paper, but it will be based on my decision.” Duterte, as the head of the OVP and the former chief of the Department of Education (DepEd), is the subject of a congressional investigation into the two agencies’ spending of P612.5 million in confidential funds from 2022 to 2023. The offices were accused of submitting receipts signed by ghost beneficiaries for their assistance programs, including a Mary Grace Piattos and a Kokoy Villamin, names later found nonexistent by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) upon checking birth records. The PSA also arrived at the same findings when it looked into 405 other purported signatories in receipts. On Tuesday, the House committee on good government and public accountability said it asked the PSA to verify the civil registry records of 1,992 more people who supposedly received portions of Duterte’s confidential funds. In a Dec. 9 letter to National Statistician Claire Dennis Mapa, panel chair and Manila Rep. Joel Chua asked for the birth, marriage and death certificates of the names that appeared on acknowledgment receipts submitted by the OVP to the Commission on Audit to justify its expenditure of the hard-to-audit funds between December 2022 and the third quarter of 2023. Chua earlier asked the PSA to verify an initial batch of 667 names who were recorded as having received confidential funds disbursed by DepEd during Duterte’s tenure in 2023. The Vice President quit her DepEd post in June over policy and political disagreements with the Marcos administration. On Monday, Chua revealed that based on PSA data, out of the 667 names, 405 were found to have no birth records, 445 lacked marriage certificates, and 508 had no death certificates. The Manila lawmaker said these “bolster[ed] suspicions” that many of the names provided by the OVP and DepEd under Duterte did not exist and that the receipts were “fabricated to justify confidential fund expenditures.” The House inquiry unearthed other irregularities in the two agencies’ confidential expenses, such as different names on receipts having similar signatures or penmanship; liquidation reports that appeared “copy-pasted” across all quarters; P53 million spent on alleged “safe houses”; the disbursement of money to 103 people in just one day on Dec. 23, 2022; and the use of military certification to justify spending for an event the DepEd did not organize. Several lawmakers said the findings of the House inquiry could bolster two pending impeachment complaints filed against Duterte last week.
