African developers favor Chinese AI models for lower costs, greater control_我的网站

A | (ECNS) -- African developers are increasingly choosing Chinese AI models for their lower costs, relatively modest computing requirements and ability to be deployed and customized independently, The New York Times reported Wednesday. In Kenya, Uganda and other African countries, developers, policymakers and business executives told the newspaper that cost, computing resources, data control and localization often matter more than where an AI model was developed. In Uganda’s Mityana District, a coffee farmer uses Sunflower, a language model built on China’s open-source Qwen3, to communicate information about crop conditions and farm management. Some developers compared using Chinese open-source models to owning a house: they can download the models and build their own products on top of them, rather than continually paying for access to closed systems. The report also said Chinese companies have provided African developers with free computing credits and technical guidance, while broader China-Africa cooperation in telecommunications and infrastructure over the past two decades has helped lay the groundwork for the adoption of Chinese AI technologies. 。 Raashii Khanna has recently shared an update on the thriller series Farzi's sequel Farzi 2. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, Raashii shared that the second season is going to go on floors soon. The actress noted, "We are starting shoot in the beginning of next year. I don't know when it will release." When asked if she is excited about her character and her journey in the next season, Raashii said, "I don't know what will happen to Megha. I keep asking, 'Does Megha know Sunny was behind all these?' My questions will be answered when I see the script next year."Apart from working on Farzi 2, Raashii also shared about collaborating with Vikrant Massey again on Talaakhon Mein Ek. Calling it one of her best movies, Raashii added, "It has a lot of soul. It is something people will really relate to. It was an absolute treat to work with Vikrant on that film. It tested me as an actor and I can't wait for it to come. It is one of the finest works that I have done." Coming back to Farzi, audiences have loved the first season and hailed the series as one of Raashii's bests. During an interview with Firstpost, Shahid Kapoor had once said, "I have literally lived that life of Sunny in reality. People get surprised though, but my life has been full of struggles. I used to travel by train, had very limited money and used to go and dance in Shamak Davar’s class. I can really understand the frustration of my character in Farzi. You just dance and dance and nobody wants to really give you a chance. You dance somewhere in the back."Also Read: Exclusive: Bhuvan Arora On Janaawar, Farzi Memories, And His Dream Of Doing A Superhero Film。
