Now it’s time to zero in on another timely topic—HPC users’ reactions to the convergence of HPC and AI. Much of this content is supported by our in-depth ...Full article
Google Cloud is gearing up for the agentic AI era in a big way, and its showing off its new wares this week at its NEXT conference. The company unveiled a slew of new AI models and new software for developing and managing AI agents, as well as the seventh generation of the processor at ...Full article
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been hugely instrumental in the field of science. While words like "revolutionary" are often overused, in the case of AI’s role in scientific research, it truly fits. From uncovering new insights in Physics to the discovery of new viruses from dark matter, GenAI is transforming how scientists decode the mysteries of ...Full article
In 2024, nearly 90% of the world’s most notable AI models came out of industry. Just a year prior, that figure was 60%. As the scale, cost, and compute required to build frontier AI systems continue to rise, the gap between academic and corporate development has grown harder to ignore. The latest AI Index Report ...Full article
Meta has released the first two models from its Llama 4 suite: Llama 4 Maverick and Llama 4 Scout. The Maverick model is designed to be a “workhorse” for general assistant and chat use cases, while Scout is geared more toward “multi-document summarization, parsing extensive user activity for personalized tasks, and reasoning over vast codebases.” ...Full article
Language models still struggle with the truth, and for industries with regulatory or safety responsibilities, that can be a serious liability. That is why open source AI lab Oumi released HallOumi, a model that analyzes LLM responses line by line, scoring each sentence for factual accuracy and backing its judgments with detailed rationales and citations. ...Full article
If there were any doubts that generative AI is reshaping the inference landscape, the latest MLPerf results should put them to rest. MLCommons announced new results today for its industry-standard MLPerf Inference v5.0 benchmark suite. For the first time, large language models overtook traditional image classification as the most widely submitted workloads, with Meta’s Llama ...Full article
The race to build ever-larger language models is being driven by the assumption that more pre-training data equals better performance. It's no surprise that AI companies have been scrambling to find enough quality data to train their AI models, often resorting to creating synthetic data to build and fine-tune the AI models. But what if ...Full article
Fresh off the heels of its GTC 2025 conference, where Nvidia showcased its latest advancements in AI and accelerated computing, the company is continuing to make headlines with strategic expansion moves. Most recently, the chip manufacturer is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire Lepton AI, a startup that rents out Nvidia-powered servers for AI development. ...Full article
Many of us are old enough to remember the Apollo Saturn V rocket lifting off the launch pad. It took about 12 seconds for the rocket to clear the tower. The five big engines pushed a lot of mass. The goal, of course, was getting men and equipment to the moon and back. Big goals take organization, ...Full article
