Elon Musk’s xAI built a 100,000-GPU supercluster in just 19 days

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, supercomputing

Crazy: Few would argue that Elon Musk is driven. Despite his various detractors, the entrepreneur has built Tesla and SpaceX into major competitors, if not leaders, in their respective industries. This success comes amid various side endeavors like Neuralink and Twitter/X transition. Now, his xAI team has gotten an AI supercluster up and running in just a few weeks.

Elon Musk and his xAI team have seemingly done the impossible. The company built a supercluster of 100,000 Nvidia H200 Blackwell GPUs in only 19 days. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called the feat “superhuman.” Huang shared the incredible story in an interview with the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley group on X.

According to Huang, constructing a supercomputer of this size would take most crews around four years – three years in planning and one year on shipping, installation, and operational setup. However, in less than three weeks, Musk and his team managed the entire process – from concept to full functionality. The xAI supercluster even completed its first AI training run shortly after the cluster was powered up.

Transforming Contract Management In Banking And Enterprises With Generative AI

Posted by in categories: business, finance, law, robotics/AI, sustainability

At Impactsure Technologies, we’ve helped clients of banks generate guarantees and contracts through preapproved clauses in a matter of a few seconds without the need to go through a complex process of vetting that would have otherwise taken many days. It not only enhances the customer experience but also makes it easier to manage the processes efficiently. The clients are able to manage their contracts well, manage the content, ensure appropriate vetting and scrutiny are done effectively, manage the timelines, and incorporate the electronic signing options in a seamless way.

As contract management complexities continue to increase in the banking and enterprise sectors, the adoption of GenAI emerges as strategically crucial for organizations seeking to enhance operational efficiency, mitigate risks and maintain regulatory compliance. By harnessing the power of AI-driven automation, banks and enterprises can streamline contract processes, optimize resource utilization and confidently navigate the complicated legal landscape.

A combination of GenAI, NLP and ML represents a paradigm shift in contract management, empowering banks and enterprises to easily manage the complexities of the modern business environment with agility and resilience. By embracing AI-driven solutions, organizations can unlock new opportunities for growth, innovation and sustainable success in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving environment.

Spin-wave reservoir chips can enhance edge computing

Posted by in categories: materials, robotics/AI

Reservoir computing (RC) has a few benefits over other artificial neural networks, including the reservoir that gives this technique its name. The reservoir functions mainly to nonlinearly transform input data more quickly and efficiently. Spin waves, propagating wave-like disturbances arising from magnetic interactions, can traverse through a material. These excitations are driven by the spin of electrons.

Reports: Tesla’s prototype Optimus robots were controlled by humans

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

While new reports don’t specify which demonstrated capabilities needed human assistance, some did note that the robots “were able to walk without external control using artificial intelligence.”


But the prototypes used “artificial intelligence” to control their walking.

Nu Quantum Unveils Qubit-Photon Interface to Enable Distributed Quantum Computing Networks

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI, supercomputing

CAMBRIDGE, England, Oct. 15, 2024 — Nu Quantum has announced a proof-of-principle prototype that advances the development of modular, distributed quantum computers by enabling connections across different qubit modalities and providers. The technology, known as the Qubit-Photon Interface, functions similarly to Network Interface Cards (NICs) in classical computing, facilitating communication between quantum computers over a network and supporting the potential growth of quantum infrastructure akin to the impact NICs have had on the Cloud and AI markets.

For quantum computers to achieve practical applications—such as accurately simulating atomic-level interactions—they must scale to 1,000 times their current size. This will require a shift from single quantum processing units (QPUs) to distributed quantum systems composed of hundreds of interconnected QPUs, operating at data center scale, similar to cloud and AI supercomputers.

The efficient transfer of quantum information between matter and light at the quantum level is the biggest challenge to scaling quantum computers, and this is the specific issue that the QPI addresses.
