Driven by global reach, today’s supply chains span continents and rely on the right coordination across countless stakeholders. These continent-spanning networks comprise many parties—including brokers, shippers, and warehouses—who must communicate effectively to ensure timely and accurate deliveries. Like a house of cards, these supply chains are incredibly sensitive, with one minor disruption having cascading effects ...Full article
Amid the ubiquity of large language models (LLMs) and computer vision models, the artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) research community has coalesced around the concept of foundation models. These models learn from large-scale datasets, make predictions based on patterns in training data, and generalize predictions to new domains. Foundation models are scalable and effective across a ...Full article
AI is increasingly being positioned as the next big leap in weather forecasting, and rightly so. Recent advances promise faster and more accurate predictions of extreme weather events. In August 2024, NVIDIA’s StormCast model drew headlines for its potential to forecast storms with unprecedented speed and precision. More recently, Google DeepMind’s GraphCast model attracted attention ...Full article
When the Trillion Parameter Consortium holds its 2025 all‑hands conference and exhibition, TPC25, in San Jose on July 28–31, computational scientists, system architects, policy leaders, and AI stakeholders from research, industry, and government will tackle one question: how can trillion‑parameter frontier models be built, shared, and governed for everyday science? Over three days, TPC25 attendees will dive ...Full article
It looked like a classic tech success story. An AI startup on the brink of a major acquisition, with giants waiting to strike a deal. Windsurf, a fast-growing company known for building a developer-first AI-powered IDE, was reportedly headed for a $3 billion acquisition by OpenAI. Then, over one weekend, everything changed. The deal collapsed, ...Full article
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week to celebrate its new Aurora exascale computer, marking a major milestone for AI-powered science. The event brought together DOE leaders, researchers, and partners from Intel and HPE to recognize the collaborative effort behind Aurora and its potential to transform scientific ...Full article
Ominous job forecasts and layoff predictions have crowded the headlines so far this month, with economists warning that many white-collar roles could disappear as AI adoption increases. It’s an all too familiar scenario: in the early web era, many feared the internet would erase more jobs than it created, yet the outcome has proven to ...Full article
This week could have been an episode of HBO’s "Silicon Valley" as billions of dollars flooded into AI firms almost overnight. The tone was set on Friday, when Nvidia became the first public company to reach a $4 trillion market cap, up from $1 trillion in 2023. By packaging its GPUs with proprietary software and ...Full article
The U.S. Commerce Department will begin issuing licenses for Nvidia to resume exporting its H20 AI accelerator chips to China, according to reporting today from Reuters. Nvidia filed the necessary paperwork after recent assurances from federal regulators. Reuters cited sources familiar with the matter who said the company expects approvals to cover shipments of the H20, ...Full article
Meta has acquired Play AI, a startup known for ultra-realistic and emotionally rich voice generation, as part of its broader push to build its AI infrastructure. According to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg, the entire Play AI team will join Meta’s growing GenAI group, where their expertise in real-time speech synthesis is expected to ...Full article
As the AI race grows more competitive by the week, Elon Musk is once again trying to pull ahead. His latest model, Grok 4, comes packed with bold claims: faster reasoning, better test scores, and an edge over rivals like OpenAI and Google. It’s not the first time we’ve heard promises like this, and Musk ...Full article
Moonshot AI, a Beijing startup backed by Alibaba, has released a new open weight large language model. Called Kimi K2, the model has one trillion parameters, making it one of the largest open weight models available. The system activates 32 billion parameters at a time and is offered in both a foundation model and instruction-tuned ...Full article
Walk into any boardroom today and you’ll hear the same buzzwords circulating: AI, Gen AI, LLMs, and now, increasingly, “agentic AI.” Like many tech terms, it's gaining traction faster than it's being understood—and that’s a problem. Why? Agentic AI doesn’t just represent the next wave of artificial intelligence; it changes how work gets done, who—or ...Full article
Editor’s note: This article from my colleague Doug Eadline at HPCwire explains how HPC researchers are pairing established simulation codes with large AI models to slash runtimes and widen scientific reach in protein folding, weather prediction, and molecular design.
