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. …

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. …

Cisco’s Hyperscale And Cloud AI Push Will Give It Enterprise Clout

Much of the business that Cisco Systems and others have been doing in the AI infrastructure field since OpenAI lit the generative AI fuse with ChatGPT in November 2022 has been deploying hardware and software with the hyperscalers, a lucrative business that led company executives to promise to sell as much as $1 billion in back-end network technology by the end of its fiscal year and then to blow past that a quarter early. …

Dell Is Determined To Gets Its Piece Of The AI Enterprise Pie

For much of the two-plus years since ChatGPT hit the market and kicked off the generative AI frenzy, the market tilted toward well-resourced hyperscalers like Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft as well as Tier 2 cloud service providers, with powerful – and expensive – accelerators and massive large language models like Meta’s Llama with 405 billion parameters. …
