𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻-𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲! Redis has reverted to an open-source model, adopting the AGPLv3 license for Redis 8 after a brief period with the 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 (𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗟), which the 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 (𝗢𝗦𝗜) did not accept. This marks an important moment for the open-source ecosystem.  • Redis 8 now uses AGPLv3, ensuring it remains truly open-source.  • Redis 8 brings speed improvements and the new Vector Sets feature.  • This move underscores Redis’s commitment to the open-source community. Redis’s return to AGPLv3 aligns with the broader open-source movement and enhances user trust. #Redis #OpenSource #TechTrends 

Amazon unveils Nova Premier, its most advanced AI model yet 🚀 Nova Premier isn’t built for reasoning like OpenAI’s o4-mini or Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro. Instead, it focuses on knowledge retrieval, planning, and visual understanding. With a one-million-token context window, it can process text, images, and video via Amazon Bedrock 🔹 Strong in image and text comprehension 🔹 Designed to distill capabilities into smaller, task-specific models 🔹 Priced at $2.50 per million input tokens and $12.50 per million output tokens Amazon seems to be prioritizing infrastructure and scalability over chasing benchmark dominance. #TechTrends #Innovation #Amazon

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜'𝘀 𝗼𝟯 𝗔𝗜 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗲𝗼𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿! That’s not science fiction. OpenAI’s o3 model outperformed top player Sam Patterson in a GeoGuessr match, identifying locations using only visual clues like signs, buildings, and landscapes. What stands out:  📍 Identified all five countries and twice landed within a few hundred meters  🧠 Ignored fake GPS data, relying solely on visuals and occasional web searches  ⏱️ Humans were faster at making decisions, but the model’s accuracy was remarkable This points to a future where AI can interpret complex visual environments without step-by-step instructions. #OpenAI #Geoguessr #VisualReasoning
