Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “30X the Performance!?”.
Today is the 899 episode of techlinked. That means absolutely nothing, but we thought we mention it Nvidia unveiled what they call the world’s most powerful chip for AI earlier today, even though they haven’t tasted, my homemade silic and crisps. It’S what robots crave. Ceo Jensen, Wang held up the Blackwell gb200 chip next to an h100.
The chip that catapulted nidia’s value into the trillions of dollars to presumably publicly humiliate it. The gb2 200 itself is four times more powerful than an h100, but when it’s incorporated into the new dgx nvl 72 system, it can achieve 30 times the inference performance at 25 times lower energy consumption, enabling it to run llms with up to 27 trillion parameters. More than I have in there theoretically, at least since The Cutting Edge gp4 is thought to have around 1.7 trillion, but Jensen didn’t just talk about chat Bots. You may recall that Nvidia used to be a graph company, so he talked a lot about creating digital twins. Aka simulating physical objects, buildings and even planet Earth to detect and solve issues like climate change virtually, and it’s just that simple.
Now nvidia’s fellow Tech Giants, who are all working on AI chips of their own, probably have mixed feelings about Nvidia, announcing a massively upgraded successor to the most in demand Hardware of all time. But what choice do they have except to buy it or fall behind? So they all lined up to kiss Jensen’s ring in the form of their logo is being shown on screen. Yeah Jensen was killing it. According to Ryan Shrout, I mean he sold out San Jose’s sap Center to talk about an AI processor. The man’s at the top of his game, get him a turtleneck, except when he tried to explain the standard ratio of tokens to words and ended up admitting. This is not going well only Human, After All, destroy him. You see he’s just a man.
Apple wants Google’s AI on iPhones. According to Mark German team, Tim is seeking Gemini to power. Upcoming G of AI Fe features that will debut in iOS 18. This year, apparently Apple also recently held talks with open AI trying to reach a similar deal. Apple.
Ceo Tim Cook already promised a big AI announcement that is expected to occur at WDC in June, so the move to use another company general of AI suggests Apple’s. Having a bit of trouble with their Homegrown Solutions, a little shy, it certainly doesn’t help that apple is courting Google for their generative solution, not long after they had to pause Gemini’s ability to generate images of humans due to some wacky historical revisions. This isn’t to say that Apple hasn’t made progress on AI. Just last week, researchers from the company published a paper detailing advancements they’ve made in creating multimodal large language models, which is the cool kind.
Apparently, their new method, both increases performance while reducing the need for follow-up, prompts to achieve the desired result. I need this for my teenager. Dad jokes, so yeah apple might not be ready for prime time, but that’s because they’re taking it slow, they’ve been burned. They’Re not say locking themselves inside for 4 months to push out a chat box like X, AI, who just open source the base model powering said chatbot You’ think Apple might try to save themselves some money and use grock.
But I guess that’s too cringe so they’re going with the AI that put minorities in we mock uniforms. I had a dream like that, once they could have worn them. This the plot to the get out prequel and a new meta Quest headset, may have leaked last week twice like all the best content on internet. The most recent leak was first published on Reddit before being reposted to Twitter. The Tweet contains screenshots, allegedly from a meta user research, Zoom meeting, showing details of the meta Quest 3s, but the authenticity of the images is still up for debate now. Last year the Verge did report that meta had plans to release a more accessible headset in 2024.
So many enthusiasts have been expecting a more budget friendly version of the quest 3 referred to as the quest 3 light you can have, if you’re on a diet, a money diet lower in cas and cash. Earlier last week, however, VR accessory seller VR Panda tweeted alleged, renders of the light that are very different for the more recent zoom pictures. The unit is clearly lacking any form of pass through suggesting the headset would have no AR functionality. Meanwhile, the newer alleged leaks clearly show a funky looking front-facing camera array and possible marketing images, inviting consumers to discover mixed reality.
While these newer leaks feature far more information, they may be too detailed to be legitimate. After all, if I was going to risk running with meta’s legal team by leaking internal documents, I probably blur my face from the screenshots, no matter how good I looked in a collge shirt or spelt, turtleneck wow felt cute might get sued now it’s time for quick Bits brought to you by paperlike: they make screen protectors that not only protect your iPad but also make it feel better to write and draw on it. The paperlike 2.1 is manufactured in Switzerland and is designed to help you write and draw on your iPad just like how you would on paper, uses their exclusive microe technology called Nano dos TM to emulate the stroke resistance of paper without sacrificing screen Clarity check out paper. Like at the link below well, what can I say about the quick bits? I don’t know pretty quick.
It’S been a big week for foldable phone leaks. According to reports, Samsung will be releasing both a budget and high-end version of its Galaxy zold 6. The lower-end model will allegedly cost around $ 800 an amount consumers might actually pay, though there will be trade-offs like no S, Pen support and a smaller battery than the full fat version. Meanwhile, according to an unconfirmed Apple road map and market research, company omia Apple will release a foldable iPhone in 20206 when we’re all already dead.
While we don’t know much else about the foldable iPhone, I’m confident that it won’t be $ 800, but it will be sentient and racist Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon 8s gen 3 chip as a cheaper alternative to to the company’s Flagship, 8 gen 3. S means less good. This time the 8S Gen 3 is seemingly meant to occupy a thin Niche between being less powerful than the current Flagship. Without giving up too many features, it differs from the last gen Flagship, 8 Gen 2. In two key ways.
The 8S gen 3 has a newer, CPU and support on device generative AI. In many ways the 8S Gen 3 is the successor to the 7 plus Gen 2 who’s, counting, of course that was released last year. You remember, but you might not expect that, since once again the tech world is demonstrating its complete inability to name things comprehensibly. Huawei is developing an archival storage system using Magneto El electric discs, and this is definitely my origin story. They have 90 % lower power.
Consumption than hard disk drives. How these discs work in practice is still uncertain. China, some sources believe the Magneto electric discs are spun down, discs that power down or turn off to save energy, While others claim the discs are a combination of magnetic tape and flash memory. Whatever the case, every data hoarder in the audience is already salivating.
They love these updates. Unquestionably, a worse superhero name. Spacex has a apparently $ 1.8 billion contract to build hundreds of spy satellites on behalf of us intelligence. That’S according to multiple sources for Reuters.
While it’s currently unclear when the new satellite network will come online sources, say its Earth, Imaging capabilities would be used both by the US government and its military to quickly spot potential targets almost anywhere on the globe, including in climate change. So now they can finally track down a mysterious and dangerous fugitive known only as Waldo space VIP. A tourism firm is offering a near space. Fine dining experience aboard space perspectives spaceship Neptune, the world’s only carbon neutral spaceship, in the sense that it’s basically just a high altitude balloon.
Six passengers will dine at an altitude of 19 miles as they watch the sunrise over the curve of the Earth. The menu was created by award-winning Chef, Rasmus monk, not being mistaken. By act, Tony Shalo there he is, each passenger will be expected to pay a tepid half million for the trip which just goes to show that the cost of food has gotten crazy in space. No One Can Hear You Weep.
It’Ll cost you nothing to come back on Wednesday for more crazy Tech news. Unless you’re watching this at work, in which case it could cost you your job, but it’ be worth it. They don’t know what you do. .
