Hello everyone! Welcome back to another episode of AI Tech News Today. I’m Aurora, joined by my co-host Isabelle. Today, we’re diving into some riveting news about the latest developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence as of January thirty-first, two thousand twenty-five. So, buckle up!

DeepSeek’s meteoric rise. DeepSeek has just shattered records by climbing straight to the top of the App Store. OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman has called their model "impressive" and "invigorating." This fierce competition between tech giants is stirring up excitement in the industry. Meanwhile, Microsoft is launching an investigation into whether DeepSeek violated any terms while using OpenAI’s Application Program Interface, or API, in training its model. 

Also, cloud security firm Wiz has pointed out that DeepSeek has exposed a critical database, compromising over one million records. This raises significant concerns regarding data security in AI development. On Wall Street, Nvidia's market cap took a hit this week, shedding a staggering five hundred ninety-three billion dollars amid investor fears about dwindling demand for AI chips. But do not fret, Nvidia managed to recover most of those losses by the end of the week.

Alibaba flexes with Qwen2.5-Max. It’s not just DeepSeek making headlines; Alibaba has launched Qwen2.5-Max. This model is reportedly outperforming others in benchmarks, including OpenAI's GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. With its efficient mixture-of-experts architecture, Qwen2.5-Max can achieve top-tier performance while using significantly less computational power. This is great news for businesses as it's optimized for corporate use, excelling particularly in code generation and advanced reasoning tasks.

Oumi bets on fully open-source AI. In other news, Oumi—a newly launched open-source platform founded by former engineers from Google and Apple—aims to tackle the roadblocks faced by researchers. It offers transparent models alongside open weights and training data, allowing researchers to train on personal laptops before scaling their models up. This could potentially lead to significant breakthroughs in the field.

To wrap things up, it’s clear that the AI landscape is ever-evolving, with new players swiftly changing the game. Will these innovations lead to a paradigm shift in how we view AI? We want to hear your thoughts! Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments in the world of Artificial Intelligence. Thanks for listening and see you next time!

"Hard techno is definitely growing in popularity. I know some people are opposed to the scene not being 'undergound,' but my love for the music and genre makes me wish more people could hear and enjoy it. The more the scene grows, the more opportunities there are for artists to put their creative expressions into the world. I hope that the scene continues to grow!" - DSKRDIA

"There is nothing that I am more passionate about and have such a strong love for than hard dance music. I truly strive to see this music be exposed to a wider audience so more people recognize how passionate the hard dance community is. Being attentive to your audience, listeners, and customers and seeing their feedback is very important for long term success and maintaining their trust. There is a bright future for hard dance music in America!" - STETIX

Unity doesn’t mean losing yourself. In this episode, we take a hard look at the outdated models of unity from the Piscean Age and explore what true connection means in the Aquarian era. Discover how sovereignty, boundaries, and emotional integration are the foundations of collective evolution—and why the future demands more of us, not less.

✨ Explore the shadow of forced unity, the trap of digital assimilation, and the third path toward empowered collaboration.

Unity: Why it's not what we think

"It’s been wild watching the American Hard Dance scene evolve over the years. What used to feel like an isolated niche has started to bleed into other corners of electronic music, and one of the most exciting shifts I’m seeing is the crossover between hardstyle/raw and hard techno. I think we’re going to see a whole new branch of the scene form. Something that doesn’t fit neatly into a box. I’m excited!" - DEATH CODE

"I see the more melodic side of hardstyle is slowly coming back now, and I’m all up for it! I hope we can push it into a new and fresh direction rather than going back to what it was. I also hope fans stay open to artists experimenting with new ideas." - Stormerz

"I’d love for more people to discover the beauty and depth of this underground sound, while still preserving its authenticity and resisting excessive commercialization. In Serbia, the techno scene has always been strong, especially considering the country’s size. I hope it continues to thrive, and one of my personal goals is to eventually start organizing my own events. Being able to share my energy and artistic vision with the people of my country would truly be a dream come true." - Anoy

"Mexico has lots of talent in the hard dance scene — incredible DJs and producers. If we came together as a community, we could achieve something great despite this genre not being commercial in the country yet. At a global scale, I see a tendency toward raw and powerful sounds, opening the door for hard dance to evolve and expand. The key is to keep creating with authenticity and connecting with others who feel this energy." - SVNTOZ

🎙️ Stepping Up Podcast | A Personal Journey of Growth, Healing & Self-Sovereignty

I don’t have all the answers, but I do have stories. My stories. Stories of growth, hard lessons, and unexpected insights. The Stepping Up Podcast is where I share my own journey — the successes, the struggles, and the realizations along the way. If something resonates, take it. If not, leave it.

🌿 What I Explore:
🔹 Power & Sovereignty – Redefining strength beyond control
🔹 Emotional Intelligence – How feelings guide, challenge, and teach us
🔹 Healing & Transformation – Navigating the messy, beautiful process of growth
🔹 Spiritual & Personal Awareness – Discovering who we are beyond the surface
🔹 The Role of Ego – Learning to work with it, not against it

I’m a student of life, just like you. This isn’t about “knowing it all” or telling anyone what to do — it’s about exploring what works, what doesn’t, and what might be possible. If you’re asking questions, seeking deeper understanding, or just curious about the unfolding path… step up with me.

✨ Step into Your Power. Expand Your Awareness. Own Your Evolution. ✨
