A new mechanism for ensuring reliable and efficient performance in decentralized AI systems is proposed, addressing the challenges of cost and quality in large language model inference.
“There is always an altcoin season afoot,” proclaimed Hayes, with the air of one explaining the obvious to a particularly dull housemaid. “And shouldst thou persist in thy lamentations that ‘tis nowhere to be found, ‘tis merely because thou didst neglect to purchase that which hath ascended most handsomely.”
Even as 2025 nears its end, December is shaping up to be a packed month for Xbox. Several new games joined Xbox Game Pass at the beginning of the month, but some titles, including Mortal Kombat 11 and Still Wakes the Deep, have also left the service. Beyond Game Pass, the Xbox Store has added new games available for purchase, such as Rhythm Doctor, a rhythm game that’s especially fun for players who like to team up.
The Elbaf arc in One Piece is revealing more and more about the character of Shanks. Years ago, the author, Eiichiro Oda, hinted that when the story begins to heavily feature Shanks, it would signal the start of the final saga. With Shanks now playing a key role in the most exciting events unfolding in Elbaf, it’s clear that this is a crucial stage in the One Piece story.
So, the ‘From the Ashes’ DLC adds a bunch of new stuff to do in Pandora with my Na’vi character – new challenges and events, which is awesome! But, just a heads-up, you still need to actually launch Avatar Frontiers of Pandora first to be able to play it. Here’s how I figured out how to actually start the ‘From the Ashes’ DLC in the game.
Researchers have developed a novel supervisory system to ensure the reliable and safe operation of multiple AI agents working together.
A sad or tragic ending isn’t automatically a negative if it’s handled effectively. For instance, a character’s death can be meaningful if it’s a selfless act for the benefit of others. Regardless of whether an ending is happy or sad, memorable endings often stay with players long after they finish the game.
I’m so excited about Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo! It’s a continuation of the Jujutsu Kaisen story, picking up almost 70 years after the epic Shinjuku Showdown. It focuses on the grandkids of Yuta and Maki, which is a really cool concept. It’s a bit bittersweet knowing that almost the entire original cast is probably gone by this point, but it opens up a whole new world to explore!
The attacks happened soon after Final Fantasy 14 released Patch 7.4, titled “Into the Mist,” on December 16th. This update concluded the popular Arcadion raid series and started the story for the game’s next big expansion. Patch 7.4 also added a Strategy Board to help players plan battles, and it made a major change to how glamour (character customization) works by removing most restrictions based on job, role, and level.
Both Banana Hell: Mountain of Madness, released in 2024, and its predecessor, Banana Hell (2020), were developed by Petriheart. However, neither game has attracted a large audience; the sequel actually has fewer players on Steam than the original. These games are similar to notoriously difficult titles like I Wanna Be The Guy and Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy, which intentionally create a frustrating experience. This naturally limits their appeal, as only a small number of gamers enjoy such challenging games. The developers are hoping a recent free promotion will help more people discover Banana Hell: Mountain of Madness and build a larger player community.
