Facebook Messenger down? Meta users report problems

Facebook Messenger has been experiencing significant disruptions since approximately 11:16 AM EDT on Wednesday, as reported by users and documented on Downdetector. On the same day, Meta launched its new AI model, Muse Spark, designed to replace Llama 4 and enhance features across its platforms, including Messenger. Muse Spark is currently accessible only in the United States.

Meta’s new LLM, Muse Spark, wants to take its AI into a ‘people first’ era

Meta AI has launched its new large language model, Muse Spark, designed to enhance user interaction with a "people first" approach. The model will roll out to U.S. users and includes Instant and Thinking modes, although users of Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Meta's AI glasses will experience delays in access. Muse Spark focuses on personalization, assisting users with tasks like troubleshooting home appliances and engaging in minigames. Meta collaborated with over 1,000 physicians to improve the AI's health-related capabilities. The model emphasizes user interaction and multi-agent functionality, allowing it to perform complex tasks efficiently. Muse Spark aims to create a more personal and engaging user experience, distinguishing itself from previous AI iterations and positioning itself as a reliable assistant.
Meta утверждает, что раздача пиратских книг через торренты подпадает под определение "добросовестного использования"

Meta утверждает, что раздача пиратских книг через торренты подпадает под определение “добросовестного использования”

Meta is facing a class-action lawsuit from authors over the use of pirated books for training its Llama language model, arguing that the distribution of these books via BitTorrent constitutes fair use. The company used shadow libraries like Anna's Archive to gather text, and a California court has partially ruled that using pirated books for training large language models falls under fair use, although the issue of copyright infringement related to downloading and distribution via BitTorrent remains unresolved. The plaintiffs claim Meta has not previously indicated a fair use defense regarding file-sharing, while Meta asserts that authors have not shown evidence of their works being reproduced by the Llama model. The judge will ultimately decide on the admissibility of Meta's defense.

Mob Menagerie: Llama

Llamas thrive in diverse environments, including savanna plateaus, windswept hills, gravelly terrains, and forest biomes. In the Bedrock Edition, they can also be found in standard savanna regions. A typical group of llamas consists of four to six individuals, displaying colors such as rich browns, creamy whites, and soft grays. They are generally indifferent to human presence but may spit if approached too closely. Llamas can defend themselves against wild wolves but are tolerant of tamed wolves if not provoked. Taming a llama requires persistence, involving mounting and offering wheat. Once tamed, llamas can carry a chest with three to fifteen slots and can be adorned with carpets for unique designs. Llamas can form a caravan by leashing one, allowing for the transportation of goods over long distances.

AI-торрент: децентрализованная сеть, где твои GPU станут валютой для супер-AI

A decentralized P2P network called "AI Torrent" is designed for AI model inference, based on principles such as a BitTorrent economy where nodes exchange computational resources, a Smart Swarm Architecture using specialized models, and Self-Organizing Intelligence that allows popular models to migrate to active nodes. Users without computational resources can interact through a standard API or chat interface, while those with resources can register as nodes and earn utility tokens by performing inference tasks. AI model creators can upload models and receive royalties through smart contracts. The economy operates on utility tokens (AIT), with revenue distribution of 70% to seeders, 20% to model developers, and 10% to a DAO fund. The network aims to be cheaper than centralized alternatives and has mechanisms for liquidity and stability, including trading on DEX platforms and staking. Existing projects in decentralized AI demonstrate the viability of P2P inference, and the "AI Torrent" seeks to integrate their best features while focusing on making inference accessible and affordable. Challenges include latency in P2P systems, which the network aims to address through geo-DHT and edge caching.

Dreaming in Blocks — MineWorld, the Minecraft World Model

Microsoft has unveiled Mineworld, an open-source world model for enhancing the Minecraft experience, which allows for real-time interactions and high controllability. Mineworld improves upon previous models, particularly the closed-source Oasis, by addressing computational inefficiencies. Its key components include: - Real-time interactivity for fast, dynamic gameplay. - A parallel decoding algorithm that accelerates frame generation. - A novel evaluation metric for assessing controllability. Mineworld processes video game footage and player actions through unique tokenization methods. Each frame in a video clip consists of quantized tokens representing distinct pixel sets. Player actions are tokenized into 11 distinct tokens, including 7 for action groups, 2 for camera angles, and 2 for action sequence markers. Mineworld was released on April 11, 2025.

18 of the best Minecraft tips and secrets to help you become a master builder

Minecraft has 204.33 million monthly players across mobile devices and consoles. Players can use llamas as storage units, break blocks for navigation, utilize lava as a fuel source, and find diamonds most effectively between levels 15 and 63. Players can change sheep colors using Evokers, harvest sand or gravel with torches, and explore Mushroom biomes safely. Strategies include wearing carved pumpkins to avoid Endermen attacks, creating Iron Golems for protection, using cats to deter Creepers, and placing doors underwater for air pockets. Snowballs are effective against Blazes, and torches can stop mob spawners. Players can milk Mooshrooms for stew, customize dog collars, protect pixel art with glass panes, and lure zombies with turtle eggs.
