Have You Heard About the Ozaki Scheme? You Will
Using accelerators in HPC has pushed performance to new levels. Starting with early GPUs, the ability to take advantage of the parallel processing hardware (in the form of SIMD processing) has been a huge boon for HPC performance. As a result, the HPC market has been...
Quantum Case Study: Merck, Amgen, Deloitte, and QuEra Tackle Clinical Trial Prediction
A recent collaboration involving Merck, Amgen, Deloitte, and QuEra Computing has explored a novel approach—quantum reservoir computing (QRC)—to better handle these small-data scenarios for molecular property prediction. The success of this project not only illuminates...
Chicago’s Bet on Quantum for Riches and Renewal
There’s a race around the world to build the next Silicon Valley, but for quantum computing. Quantum advocates see riches, influence, and maybe redemption for sites like south Chicago. The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park is being built on the site of US...
China Researchers Report Using Quantum Computer to Fine-Tune Billion Parameter AI Model
Researchers from China have reported using a quantum computer to fine-tune a 1 billion parameter AI model according to an article today in the state-run Global Times. This would be a first for a project of that scale. Using quantum computers to generate high quality...
Aurora begins driverless commercial trucking in Texas
Aurora Innovation Inc. launched a commercial self-driving trucking service in Texas. The deployment will provide autonomous freight transportation between Dallas and Houston. The post Aurora begins driverless commercial trucking in Texas appeared first on The Robot...
Vine robot from MIT can squeeze through rubble to help emergency responders
Researchers at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, in collaboration with the University of Notre Dame, have created a vine-like robot that can squeeze between rubble. The robot could ease emergency responders’ burden following disastrous structural collapses. The post Vine...
New Study Warns of Catastrophic Overtraining in Large Language Models
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...
Building robots can be a pain: 6 reasons you should let someone else do it
Imagine you’re tasked with building a robot—an autonomous system designed for industrial precision. You’ve spent months just trying to find the requisite talent. Your mechanical engineering team was relatively easy to assemble, but when it comes to the specialized...
Do You Own Your Cloud Data? Third-Party Doctrine Says No
Your data is yours, right? It seems like a simple question, but thanks to a little-known loophole in federal law, US regulators are can access your private data without a warrant as long as it’s being stored by a third party. The so-called “third-party doctrine” could...
