Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has overhauled its smallest AI model, Haiku, as companies increasingly opt for AI systems that are nearly as capable as the most advanced tools – but come at a fraction of the cost.Anthropic said on Wednesday that the updated model, called Haiku 4.5, is about one-third the cost of Sonnet 4, one of its medium-sized models, and one-fifteenth the cost of its most advanced offering, Opus. The new Haiku model performs as well or better than Sonnet 4 on a range of tasks, including coding. Traditional companies outside of Silicon Valley are more likely to use AI…

[BEIJING/LOS ANGELES] The US and China on Tuesday began charging additional port fees on ocean shipping firms that move everything from holiday toys to crude oil, making the high seas a key front in the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. A return to an all-out trade war appeared imminent last week, after China announced a major expansion of its rare earths export controls and President Donald Trump threatened to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to triple digits. But after the weekend, both sides sought to reassure traders and investors, highlighting cooperation between their negotiating teams and the…
In developing each edition of EBT training programs for therapists, I ask myself, “What is EBT?”In the past, the answer was more scientific. It’s self-directed, professionally-facilitated positive neuroplasticity of the stress response.Yes, but what is it really?My mind goes to: It’s a way for each of us to unlock our potential to be healthy, happy, and give back to the world in a way that makes our lives complete.There again, what does that really mean?Yet as stress overload becomes our daily physiologic diet, those stock answers border on annoying. We know that Freud was right; it’s the unconscious memory system…
