Oracle literally can't build enough cloud computing for Elon Musk's xAI
The software company has a lot of AI and cloud ambitions that it's desperately trying to satisfy. Amid an onslaught of demand from tech giants rushing to launch and scale their artificial intelligence units, a global chip crunch persists. On a call with investors to go over quarterly earnings, Oracle chairman Larry Ellison reiterated how hot things remain in the race to supply AI models with the massive amounts of computing power necessary to train and operate them.

Accelerated Infrastructure Simply the Next Evolution of Data Center Infrastructure
At their recent analyst day held at corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., Marvell execs made it clear that for them, “AI” didn’t just mean artificial intelligence; it also means accelerated infrastructure. AI is typically categorized either as “traditional” AI or “generative” AI. While existing data center infrastructures have proven to at least be adequate for the current needs of the former, the latter is driving fundamental shifts in data center infrastructure design to address exploding compute, memory and power requirements.

Europe Aims for Leadership Role in Quantum Computing
The topic of quantum computing occupied an entire day at the recent PUZZLE X conference in Barcelona–with visionaries such as Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose, Bob Coecke (Quantinuum), Brian Subirana (Harvard and MIT), and Marta Estarellas (Qilimanjaro) served up as speakers. Soon, Qilimanjaro will install two quantum computers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), with plans to participate in additional European tenders for installing quantum computers in high-performance computing (HPC) centers. Once the installation at the BSC headquarters is completed, Spain will have the first purely European quantum computer for public use in southern Europe, integrated with the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer, the most powerful in Southern Europe and among the most advanced worldwide.

Final Fantasy-utvecklaren: Konsoler kommer vara utdöda inom loppet av tio år
Att blicka in i kristallkulan och försöka förutspå branschens framtid är något som många försöker sig på, och nu har Naoki Yoshida, en av veteranerna hos Square Enix, också delat med sig av sina tankar. Den nu 50-årige producenten har trots allt hängt med ett tag och enligt honom kommer konsoler i dess nuvarande form försvinna inom loppet av tio år. Istället är det molnbaserade lösningar som kommer att ta över, och spelen kommer att strömmas till användare världen över. Tech som så klart redan finns idag men som över de kommande åren tveklöst kommer att både förfinas och förbättras avsevärt. Något som Yoshida ser väldigt mycket fram emot, och som i hans tycke egentligen redan borde ha skett

Is Software and Hardware Ready for TinyML Tsunami?
Engineers working on embedding AI in edge devices who are just now doing their first machine learning project have high hurdles to overcome, but recent developments in the industry may offer encouragement. TinyML is a type of machine learning (ML) that allows models to run on smaller, less-powerful devices on the edge. It’s deployed in applications ranging from continuously monitoring machines for predictive maintenance purposes to smart home appliances.

Google’s Gemini Is the Real Start of the Generative AI Boom
Google’s release of Gemini, claimed to be a fundamentally new kind of AI model and the company’s most powerful to date. In fact, although the 12 months since ChatGPT launched have been a banner year for AI, there is good reason to think that the current AI boom is only getting started. Google had already rushed out a direct response to ChatGPT in the form of Bard earlier this year, finally launching LLM chatbot technology that it had developed earlier than OpenAI but chosen to keep private. With Gemini it claims to have opened a new era that goes beyond LLMs primarily anchored to text—potentially setting the stage for a new round of AI products significantly different from those enabled by ChatGPT.
