Citigroup accidentally credited an account with $81 trillion instead of $280 as it meant to before catching the error, the  Financial Times reported. The snafu, a "near miss" in banking industry lingo, eluded a payments employee and a second bank official before being caught by a third employee 90 minutes after it posted, the newspaper reported late Thursday. The bank said it posted the payment to a client, without specifying what kind of client. The payment was reversed several hours later and no funds ever left the bank, the newspaper said. Citigroup, which has $1.7 trillion in assets according to Federal Reserve data, said there was "no impact to the bank or our client," according to a bank statement. "Despite the fact that a payment of this size could not actually have been executed, our detective controls promptly identified the inputting error between two Citi ledger accounts, and we reversed the entry," Citigroup said. Citi's snafu stemmed...

China's joyful embrace of DeepSeek has gone one step deeper - extending to TVs, fridges and robot vacuum cleaners with a slew of home appliance brands announcing that their products will feature the startup's artificial intelligence models. Hangzhou-based DeepSeek's large language models upended the AI sector this year, rivalling Western systems in performance but at a much lower cost. That's resulted in much pride and glee in China, with DeepSeek held up as proof that U.S. efforts to contain tech advances in China will ultimately fail. DeepSeek's founder Liang Wenfeng has been feted by Chinese authorities, and the company plans to release R2, the successor to its R1 reasoning model, soon, sources have said. Over the past two weeks, home appliance manufacturers such as Haier, Hisense and TCL Electronics have joined automakers and tech heavyweights like Huawei and Tencent in saying they will be using DeepSeek's models. Many of these home goods are already sma...

The Liberal Party of Canada has made a stunning comeback, surpassing the Conservative Party in polls for the first time in four years. According to a recent Ipsos survey, the Liberals now hold a 2% lead over the Conservatives, a significant shift from the 26% deficit they faced just six weeks ago. This dramatic turnaround is largely attributed to the anti-Trump sentiment sweeping Canada. US President Donald Trump's aggressive stance on trade and territorial expansion has led to a surge in Canadian patriotism, with many rallying behind their government in opposition to Trump's policies. The situation is a far cry from the bleak outlook faced by the Liberal Party just a few weeks ago. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation on January 7, following intense unpopularity and opposition from within his own party, seemed to signal the end of the Liberal Party's chances. However, the party's fortunes have since reversed, with the Liberals gaining significant ground in...
