Nvidia Takes The Open Road In AI Weather Forecasting

Amid the myriad discussions about AI – from the astounding amount of money being spent by vendors and enterprises and the debate about actual ROI those businesses are getting to the technology’s effect on cybersecurity, jobs, and the fear of disinformation and resulting distrust – it’s easy to forget its usefulness in particular industries. …

AMD Contemplates And Engineers Yottascale AI Compute

Under Lisa Su’s more than eleven years as AMD’s chief executive officer, the company has returned from Opteron exile to be a formidable CPU foe to Intel in the datacenter, due in large part to the innovation around its Zen microarchitecture and Epyc server chips driven by Su, chief technology officer Mark Papermaster, and countless others. …

MythWorx Mashes Up Neuromorphic And GenAI To Take On Model Giants

There is constant chatter surrounding the promise of generative AI, agentic AI, and – eventually – artificial general intelligence, but the need for the massive, expensive, high-density compute and the datacenters to wrap around them and the juice to feed them are incredible, particularly with models OpenAI GPT-4, Alibaba’s Qwen-3, Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2, xAI’s Grok4, and Amazon’s Olympus all cresting the trillion-parameter mark and aiming higher. …

IBM Outlines Steps To Verify Claims Of Quantum Advantage

D-Wave executives stirred up some controversy earlier this year when they claimed a smaller version of its Advantage 2 annealing quantum system, armed with 1,200 qubits, had reached “quantum supremacy,” – or “quantum advantage” – that significant but ill-defined time when a quantum system is able to solve a problem in much less time, at a lower cost, or more efficiently than the most powerful classical supercomputer. …

Cisco’s Outshift Incubator Sends Agentic AI Protocol To The Linux Foundation

AI agents bring with them the promise of being able to autonomously solve complex tasks put before them, from finding and analyzing the necessary data, choosing tools, and making decisions without human intervention to learning from their mistakes and adapting to changes. …

Silicon One: Many Cisco Chips With One Architecture Chasing Many AI Workloads

With AI being the biggest change in IT infrastructure since the Dot Com boom, it was no surprise that at the annual Cisco Live event last month in San Diego, the focus was on AI – and particularly agentic AI – and how the networking giant differentiates itself from other infrastructure vendors when it comes to the emerging technology. …

It’s Been Three Years, So It’s Time For Another PCI-Express Speed Bump

PCI-SIG, the organization that oversees the roadmap for the critical PCI-Express peripheral attachment specification, is continuing to keep to its three-year drumbeat for releasing the next iteration of the interconnect spec and already has its sights on the one after that, expected to be released in 2028 and appear in devices in 2030 or so. …
