Hot AI trend consists of large behavior models (LBM), which is a combination of generative AI LLMs with behavior-oriented AI walk and talk features. Here’s the scoop.

Google Cloud recently announced a major upgrade to its AI infrastructure, introducing new hardware and software solutions designed to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence workloads. The centerpiece of these changes is the release of Trillium, Google’s sixth-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU).

Compared to its predecessor, the TPU v5e, Trillium delivers over four times the training performance and up to three times the inference throughput. This improvement is accompanied by a 67% increase in energy efficiency.

The new TPU boasts impressive specifications, including double the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) capacity and Interchip Interconnect (ICI) bandwidth, making Trillium particularly well-suited for handling large language models like Gemma 2 and Llama, as well as compute-intensive inference tasks such as those required by diffusion models like Stable Diffusion XL.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere in Europe.

While some are worried about its long-term impact, a team of researchers at the University of Technology in Vienna is working on responsible ways to use AI.

Anthropic’s Claude AI is purportedly capable of using computers like a human. And apparently, that includes procrastinating.

Instead of the old-fashioned hammer and chisel, a 13-foot zinc alloy arm with a spinning, diamond-crusted finger is now used by some to cut marble. Robotor CEO Giacomo Massari says it’s ten times faster.

A fleet of marble-sculpting robots is carving out the future of the art world. It’s a move some artists see as cheating, but others are embracing the change.

Tesla began rolling out a significant update to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software on Saturday, shifting the city-streets driving system to a single, end-to-end neural network model in FSD version 12.5.6.3.

Last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company’s FSD technology “is now almost entirely AI.” In early October, Musk had stated that FSD “will soon exceed 10,000 miles between critical interventions, which is a year of driving for most people.”

A 9th grader from Snellville, Georgia, has won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, after inventing a handheld device designed to detect pesticide residues on produce.

Sirish Subash set himself apart with his AI-based sensor to win the grand prize of $25,000 cash and the prestigious title of “America’s Top Young Scientist.”

Like most inventors, Sirish was intrigued with curiosity and a simple question. His mother always insisted that he wash the fruit before eating it, and the boy wondered if the preventative action actually did any good.

For our AI industry people, if you werent aware, some kind of research prizes for solving technical challenges related to AI.

Prize information, rules, and key dates.
