"Faced with the possibility of a given author's deliberate opacity, what responsibility does the translator then have to allow for the possibility of such active resistance? How can the translator fulfill her obligation to render a text legible while respecting the refusals built into the language of a source text from a 'minority' culture? Moreover, to what extent do matters of race and/or/as culture determine the parameters of the translator's accountability to the author she seeks to carry over into another world(view)?"

Simon’s never given much thought to babies before.

When he was younger, enough time was spent scorning his father and the childhood he was depriving him of, that any thoughts of becoming a dad himself one day were nonexistent. As far as he was concerned, he was essentially already a stand in parent to his younger brother.

As he grew older and enlisted, his life becoming one that consisted of nothing more than violence and destruction and terror, he thought the odds of him surviving into his 30’s were so slim that he need never bother worrying about having a ‘next of kin’.

That was until, he met you, of course.

Because now that Simon Riley has you in his life, he’s not quite so pessimistic about his existence the way he once was, doesn’t picture a foreboding dark cloud when he considers what his future could be. What a future with you could be.

Still, as much time as the two of you spend actually engaging in the baby making process, Simon really only considers babies as being something that other people have, not him.

Not with his line of work, not with the risks that come alongside the territory, not when he already can barely stand to leave you for deployment, let alone leave you behind with a child on top of everything.

No, Simon is perfectly content with his life where babies are just another anomale.

But then, your best friend announces she’s pregnant. And the sight of you holding a positive pregnancy test in your hands, changes something within him.

Suddenly, Simon is noticing chubby, drooling little infants everywhere he goes.

Fat babies shoved into the uncomfortable looking seats of grocery carts pass by him in the shops, crying babies strapped to their mums on the tube, sleeping babies being pushed around in their prams without a care in the world. Even on base, he notices more people talking about their children, showing off picture of their offspring.

He’s looking at you a little different as well. His gaze on you will darken as you and your friend chat about baby names, casually mentioning the ones that you like for yourself. His grip will tighten around the shopping cart when you wave to passing babies, making them giggle. He’s surprised at the way his cock twitches when you pretend to hold a breast pump up to your own chest, wrapping the baby shower gift you’d gotten her.

It only takes so long for you to notice the change in him as well.

You’ll be strolling through the park on a chilly morning when a young family goes by, Simon muttering something about how the little bald headed infant ‘should have a hat on for fuck’s sake, cold out ‘ere’. You’ll be in the shops, when suddenly Simon returns holding a pair of teeny tiny baby shoes in his hand, appearing comically small in his large calloused palms, wondering if maybe your friend would like them. You’re sitting outside a cafe while a pair of chubby cheeked babies are sat in their strollers staring at Simon as if their lives depended on it. You’re giggling to yourself, watching your boyfriend stare right back at these little girls, when the 6’4” tank of a man slowly lifts a gloved hand and waves at them, earning a pair of gummy smiles in return.

The most evident change in Simon however, is in bed.

Almost overnight, he goes from never having considered children, to suddenly dedicating every effort to getting you pregnant by the end of the year, month, week.

IBM unveils Granite 3.0 AI models with open-source commitment

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ibm-unveils-granite-3-0-ai-models-with-open-source-commitment/

IBM unveils Granite 3.0 AI models with open-source commitment

.pp-multiple-authors-boxes-wrapper display:none; img width:100%;

IBM has taken the wraps off its most sophisticated family of AI models to date, dubbed Granite 3.0, at the company’s annual TechXchange event.

The Granite 3.0 lineup includes a range of models designed for various applications:

General purpose/language: 8B and 2B variants in both Instruct and Base configurations

Safety: Guardian models in 8B and 2B sizes, designed to implement guardrails

Mixture-of-Experts: A series of models optimised for different deployment scenarios

IBM claims that its new 8B and 2B language models can match or surpass the performance of similarly sized offerings from leading providers across numerous academic and industry benchmarks. These models are positioned as versatile workhorses for enterprise AI, excelling in tasks such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), classification, summarisation, and entity extraction.

A key differentiator for the Granite 3.0 family is IBM’s commitment to open-source AI. The models are released under the permissive Apache 2.0 licence, offering a unique combination of performance, flexibility, and autonomy to both enterprise clients and the broader AI community.

IBM believes that by combining a compact Granite model with proprietary enterprise data, particularly using their novel InstructLab alignment technique, businesses can achieve task-specific performance rivalling larger models at a fraction of the cost. Early proofs-of-concept suggest potential cost savings of up to 23x less than large frontier models.

According to IBM, transparency and safety remain at the forefront of its AI strategy. The company has published a technical report and responsible use guide for Granite 3.0, detailing the datasets used, data processing steps, and benchmark results. Additionally, IBM offers IP indemnity for all Granite models on its watsonx.ai platform, providing enterprises with greater confidence when integrating these models with their own data.

The Granite 3.0 8B Instruct model has shown particularly promising results, outperforming similar-sized open-source models from Meta and Mistral on standard academic benchmarks. It also leads across all measured safety dimensions on IBM’s AttaQ safety benchmark.

IBM is also introducing the Granite Guardian 3.0 models, designed to implement safety guardrails by checking user prompts and LLM responses for various risks. These models offer a comprehensive set of risk and harm detection capabilities, including unique checks for RAG-specific issues such as groundedness and context relevance.

The entire suite of Granite 3.0 models is available for download on HuggingFace, with commercial use options on IBM’s watsonx platform. IBM has also collaborated with ecosystem partners to integrate Granite models into various offerings, providing greater choice for enterprises worldwide.

As IBM continues to advance its AI portfolio, the company says it’s focusing on developing more sophisticated AI agent technologies capable of greater autonomy and complex problem-solving. This includes plans to introduce new AI agent features in IBM watsonx Orchestrate and build agent capabilities across its portfolio in 2025.
