  Cambridge and Microsoft unveiled Aardvark, an AI model that generates full 10-day forecasts in seconds — without supercomputers. It’s fast, accurate, and a game-changer for global forecasting access.

• Smarter AI Without the Heavy Lifting
  DeepSeek’s new open-source model, V3-0324, rivals GPT-4 in reasoning and coding tasks — but uses a fraction of the compute.

• AI-Generated Models—with Consent
  H&M is now producing AI-generated “digital twins” of real models (with full permission) to speed up ad campaigns and reduce production costs — ethically reshaping how fashion uses AI.

• Navina Raises $55M to Help Doctors Work Smarter
  Navina’s AI copilot for physicians just raised funding from Goldman Sachs. It integrates with EHRs to flag diagnoses, risks, and key insights — giving doctors a real-time second brain.

AI + Weather

🌦️ Reinventing Forecasting with AI

Researchers have developed Aardvark, an AI-powered weather model that dramatically outperforms traditional forecasting systems in speed and efficiency. Built with open-source architecture and optimized for low compute environments, Aardvark can generate full weather forecasts in seconds—something that normally takes hours on expensive supercomputers.

Fast Facts:

• Built for Speed: Generates full 10-day forecasts in under a minute.

• Open Source: Freely available, allowing global adoption and innovation.

• Low Compute Needs: Can run on consumer-grade GPUs or cloud instances—no supercomputer required.

Why It Matters:

Democratized Forecasting - Opens the door for developing nations to access accurate, real-time weather prediction.

Faster Disaster Response - Quicker modeling could save lives during extreme weather events.

Sustainable Tech - Uses a fraction of the energy traditional models consume, making it greener and more scalable.

AI Replacing Legacy Systems - Aardvark signals how AI will disrupt not just software, but science itself

Aardvark doesn’t just forecast weather—it forecasts the future of AI’s role in global infrastructure. From climate to crisis response, this is a glimpse of how smarter models will replace older systems across industries.

DeepSeek V3-0324

🧠 Smarter AI Without the Heavy Lifting

Chinese startup DeepSeek just dropped V3-0324, a new open-source language model that’s raising eyebrows for all the right reasons. Instead of chasing massive scale like OpenAI or Google, DeepSeek is going lean — using a Mixture-of-Experts architecture that activates only 37B of its 685B parameters per task. The result? A model that’s fast, efficient, and seriously capable. In early tests, V3 outperforms GPT-4 in reasoning, holds its own in coding (especially front-end dev tasks), and is smart enough to navigate complex, multi-step problems. It’s also surprisingly accessible — available on Hugging Face and built to run with far less compute than most frontier models.

Fast Facts:

• Smarter Architecture: MoE model with 685B total parameters, 37B active per task

• Reasoning-Optimized: Excels at multi-step problem solving and logic-heavy tasks

• Tool-Aware Agents: Improved ability to invoke and use external tools intelligently

• Frontend Dev Strength: Stronger performance in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript generation

• Open Access: Available via Hugging Face and DeepSeek API

Why It Matters:

The AI Arms Race Is Splitting – While the West pushes scale, DeepSeek is carving out a lane with efficient, affordable intelligence.

Compute-Friendly Power – V3’s ability to perform at frontier levels without frontier infrastructure changes the game for startups and smaller orgs.

Agent-Ready Reasoning – This isn’t just about answering prompts — it’s about building AI that can plan, execute, and adapt in multi-step workflows.

Pressure from the East – As Kai-Fu Lee noted, China’s AI gap with the U.S. may now be as small as three months. V3 is a big part of why.

DeepSeek-V3-0324 isn’t loud, but it’s smart. And as the AI landscape shifts from "how big?" to "how usable?", it might be one of the most important models of the year.

Fashion AI Models

🧍‍♀️H&M’s Digital Twin AI Models

H&M is now creating AI-generated replicas of real models — with full consent — to streamline its fashion campaigns. These “digital twins” are trained on high-res images of actual models, allowing stylists and creative teams to generate entire photoshoots virtually, without anyone on set. It’s not about replacing people — in fact, models own their digital likenesses and can even license them out to other brands, including H&M’s competitors. It’s a faster, cheaper, and more flexible production pipeline — while still keeping real humans in the loop.

Fast Facts:

• Ethical AI Use: H&M works directly with models and agencies to create likenesses with consent and transparency.

• AI-Generated Photoshoots: Virtual models can be styled, posed, and photographed entirely in digital space.

• Production Speed-Up: Reduces shoot times and travel costs while maintaining visual consistency across campaigns.

• Part of a Larger Shift: Follows H&M Creator Studio’s AI clothing design tool released earlier this year.

• Model-Owned Digital Twins: Models maintain full ownership of their digital twins, allowing them to license their AI likeness to other brands, including H&M's competitors.

Why It Matters:

The Digital Runway Is Here – AI-generated models mean fashion brands can move faster — from concept to campaign in days, not weeks.

Ethics Done Right – By involving real models and securing consent, H&M is setting a precedent for how to use AI without exploitation.

Massive Cost + Carbon Savings – No travel, no shoots, no reshoots. Just smart workflows and smart styling.

Changing the Creative Stack – Visual content teams will soon include AI specialists alongside stylists and editors.

This isn’t the end of real models — it’s the beginning of a new era in fashion production. One where AI amplifies creative control, speeds up output, and redefines what it means to show up in a campaign.

AI Healthcare Startup

🏥 Your Doctor’s AI Copilot Just Got Funded

Navina, an AI platform built to assist physicians with real-time diagnosis support, has raised $55 million in Series C funding led by Goldman Sachs. The tool integrates with electronic health record systems (EHRs), scanning massive amounts of patient data to surface what matters most — potential diagnoses, risk factors, and overlooked symptoms. It’s like giving every primary care doctor a second brain — one that never forgets a chart note or misses a pattern.

Fast Facts:

• Used in 1,300+ Clinics: Already live across U.S. practices, focused on value-based care.

• EHR Integration: Navina works inside existing systems to reduce friction for doctors.

• Contextual Summaries: Surfaces the why behind each alert — not just a laundry list of flags.

• Clinician-Centric Design: Built to reduce burnout, not add to the noise.

Why It Matters:

Real AI Utility in the Wild – Navina isn’t an R&D lab project. It’s already embedded in U.S. clinics, helping doctors make faster, more accurate decisions.

Healthcare Is Data-Rich, Insight-Poor – Doctors drown in patient data. Navina filters the noise and highlights what could actually save lives.

Fixing Burnout at the Source – By simplifying documentation and surfacing insights, it frees up time for patient care — not endless screen time.

A Template for AI in Other Industries – This isn’t just about medicine. It’s a glimpse at what real, high-context, domain-specific AI looks like.

Navina isn’t trying to replace your doctor. It’s trying to make sure they don’t miss anything that matters. And in healthcare, that’s the kind of AI we actually need.
