Huang, Son Joke About SoftBank’s Early Stake in Nvidia

Posted by in categories: business, finance, humor, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Even the biggest investors often make terrible trading decisions for their portfolios.


At an AI summit in Tokyo on Wednesday, Jensen Huang and Masayoshi Son joked about how SoftBank was once Nvidia’s largest shareholder before dumping its stake. The two billionaires are now joining forces on a Japanese supercomputer. SoftBank, which until early 2019 owned 4.9% of Nvidia, has secured a favorable spot in line for the chipmaker’s latest products.\r.

U.S.-Based GlobalFoundries Innovates In Critical Silicon Markets

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

At the GlobalFoundries Technology Summit 2024, the company brought together its customers and partners from around the world. The theme was “AI Everywhere” as AI has impacted everything from IoT to the datacenter. However, the focus was on its core markets: aerospace, defense and critical infrastructure, automotive, communications and data center infrastructure, industrial IoT, and mobile devices.

RF

One key technology for many of those markets is RF (Radio Frequency) chips for mobile devices, communications infrastructure, and aerospace. GF’s mainstream RF offerings use Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafer technology. But GF also has Silicon Germanium (SiGe) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) processes as well. With this level of diverse RF technologies, the company is well positioned for future 5G NR cellular developments and beyond, including the growth of FR2 (above 24GHz) and FR3 (7.1GH to 24GHz) bands.

DeepMind Researchers find LLMs can Serve as Effective Mediators

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

A team of AI researchers with Google’s DeepMind London group has found that certain large language models (LLMs) can serve as effective mediators between groups of people with differing viewpoints regarding a given topic. The work is published in the journal Science.

Over the past several decades, political divides have become common in many countries—most have been labeled as either liberal or conservative. The advent of the internet has served as fuel, allowing people from either side to promote their opinions to a wide audience, generating anger and frustration. Unfortunately, no tools have surfaced to diffuse the tension of such a political climate. In this new effort, the team at DeepMind suggests AI tools such as LLMs may fill that gap.

To find out if LLMs could serve as effective mediators, the researchers trained LLMs called Habermas Machines (HMs) to serve as caucus mediators. As part of their training, the LLMs were taught to identify areas of overlap between viewpoints of people in opposing groups—but not to try to change anyone’s opinions.

Sam Altman: “We Know How to Build AGI by 2025” 🤯

Posted by in categories: economics, employment, robotics/AI

Could AGI be here by 2025? In a shocking new interview, Sam Altman — OpenAI’s CEO — just dropped some MAJOR revelations about their path to artificial general intelligence.

Unlike his usual careful corporate speak, Sam appears surprisingly confident about what’s ahead.

Diamond-cooled GPUs are coming soon — startup claims 20C temp reduction, 25% more overclocking headroom as it seeks US govt funding for diamond-encrusted chip cooling solutions

Posted by in categories: government, military, nanotechnology, robotics/AI, space

Akash Systems has signed a non-binding preliminary memorandum of terms with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $18.2 million in direct funding and $50 million in federal and state tax credits through the CHIPS Act. Although this isn’t yet a binding contract that will give the company the promised funds, it’s an important first step in the negotiation process for the Oakland-based startup, which shows that both the company and the U.S. government are gradually moving towards a formal agreement. According to Akash Systems (h/t Axios), it will use the funds to ramp up its operations for producing diamond-cooled semiconductors for AI, data centers, space applications, and defense markets.

Diamond-cooling technology goes deeper than just thermal paste with nano-diamond technology. For example, some use synthetic diamonds as the chip substrate, utilizing the material’s thermal conductivity to more efficiently move heat away from the processor. So, let’s look closer at Akash’s solution.

Homeland Security Department to Release New A.I. Guidance

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, security, transportation

Companies that own or operate critical infrastructure increasingly rely on artificial intelligence. Airports use A.I. in their security systems; water companies use it to predict pipe failures; and energy companies use it to project demand. On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will release new guidance for how such companies use the technology.

The document, a compilation of voluntary best practices, stems from an executive order that President Biden signed more than a year ago to create safeguards around A.I. Among other measures, it directed the Department of Homeland Security to create a board of experts from the private and public sectors to examine how best to protect critical infrastructure. The risks run the gamut from an airline meltdown to the exposure of confidential personal information.

Alejandro N. Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, first convened the board in May. It includes Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI; Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia; Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Alphabet; and Vicki Hollub, the chief executive of Occidental Petroleum.
