AI INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

Tencent Hunyuan Open-Sources its First Hybrid AI Model Hunyuan-A13B

Tencent has released Hunyuan-A13B, its first open-source Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model.

With 80 billion total parameters and just 13 billion active per task, it’s designed to offer high performance with lower compute demands.

The model runs on a single mid-range GPU, making it accessible for developers and smaller teams. Pre-trained on 200 trillion tokens, it shows strong results in reasoning, logic, and instruction-following, and supports tool use for real-world tasks like travel planning and data analysis.

Customizable “thinking modes” let users adjust the balance between speed and depth.

Hunyuan-A13B is now available on GitHub, Hugging Face, and through Tencent Cloud API.

Viral Band Was Just AI Music

A viral band on Spotify turns out to be an AI-powered hoax, with music made using the AI tool Suno, according to Rolling Stone.

The group had over 500,000 monthly listeners, but had no online history, raising questions that were finally confirmed: it was all an art project using artificial intelligence.

• The band’s two albums launched in June with no digital footprint, sparking suspicion from users on Reddit.

• Streaming service Deezer flagged the music for possible AI use, but Spotify required no disclosure.

• One member later admitted that Suno AI helped make the songs using a feature called "Persona" to keep the voice style consistent.

This shows how AI music is already blending into mainstream platforms without people noticing. As AI tools improve, the line between real and fake creators will blur, and audiences may stop caring if the music is good.

Sakana AI Unveils AB-MCTS: A Teamwork-Based AI Breakthrough

Japanese lab Sakana AI has launched AB-MCTS, a smart new method where multiple AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek work together to solve problems that are too difficult for one AI alone.

• AB-MCTS helped the AI team solve 30% of tough ARC-AGI-2 puzzles, compared to 23% by the best solo model.

• The system assigns tasks based on each model’s strength ,one might handle strategy, while another writes code.

• Models can learn from each other’s mistakes, improving results through shared problem-solving.

This shows a big shift in AI, from one strong model doing everything to a team of models working like a group of experts. With tools like Sakana's open-source TreeQuest, developers can now build smarter, more collaborative AI systems, which could lead to major AI breakthroughs in the near future.
