Stability AI presents Stable LM 2 1.6B.
The base model is trained on approximately 2 trillion tokens for two epochs, incorporating multilingual data in English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Dutch.
We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.
The transformative impact of #AI on #scientific #discovery, showcasing #Breakthroughs and advancements that have the potential to reshape the way #research is conducted.
The advances in artificial intelligence over the past decade are examined, with a discussion on how artificial intelligence systems can aid the scientific process and the central issues that remain despite advances.
Give people a barrier, and at some point they are bound to smash through. Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in 1947. Yuri Gagarin burst into orbit for the first manned spaceflight in 1961. The Human Genome Project finished cracking the genetic code in 2003. And we can add one more barrier to humanity’s trophy case: the exascale barrier.
The exascale barrier represents the challenge of achieving exascale-level computing, which has long been considered the benchmark for high performance. To reach that level, however, a computer needs to perform a quintillion calculations per second. You can think of a quintillion as a million trillion, a billion billion, or a million million millions. Whichever you choose, it’s an incomprehensibly large number of calculations.
On May 27, 2022, Frontier, a supercomputer built by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, managed the feat. It performed 1.1 quintillion calculations per second to become the fastest computer in the world.
At an APS fluid dynamics meeting, researchers showed off new robotic technologies for studying atmospheric pollution.
The nature of work is evolving at an unprecedented pace. The rise of generative AI has accelerated data analysis, expedited the production of software code and even simplified the creation of marketing copy.
Those benefits have not come without concerns over job displacement, ethics and accuracy.
At the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), IEEE experts from industry and academia participated in a panel discussion discussing how the new tech landscape is changing the professional world, and how universities are educating students to thrive in it.
Eno, the career-spanning documentary about Brian Eno that premieres at the Sundance Film Festival, is a bracing dive into the brain of one of the most transformative musicians, producers and sound pioneers of the past half century.
‘Eno’ uses generative AI to create an always-changing, but compelling story about musician and producer Brian Eno.
Japanese toy manufacturer Takara Tomy developed the lunar rover, SORA-Q, in association with JAXA, Sony Group, and Doshisha University.
Innovative offering
The creative minds at JAXA’s design department faced the challenge of developing a compact and lightweight lunar probe capable of accompanying the main lander to the moon. Simultaneously, they aimed for a design that would be straightforward and durable enough to operate effectively on the uneven lunar terrain. To find innovative solutions, they sought inspiration from an unexpected source: a company known for crafting toys.
The creation of SORA-Q drew upon insights in miniaturization and weight reduction derived from the firm’s expertise in toy manufacturing. Additionally, the firm claims it incorporated technologies associated with metamorphic mechanisms, exemplified by Transformers. The company hopes that SORA-Q will kindle children’s curiosity in the natural sciences, fostering an exhilarating exploration of the wonders of space.
