Plus a move toward hyperrealism and Alaska Airlines’ new AI tool.

The platform’s ability to interface with a variety of data sources and observability tools makes it a versatile solution for businesses operating in diverse IT environments, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid settings. By serving as an intelligence layer that rationalizes data from multiple observability and infrastructure sources, Flip AI simplifies the workload for IT operations teams and supports more efficient operational practices.

This innovative use of LLMs for operational efficiency in IT environments presents a significant advancement in observability, offering enterprises a powerful tool to enhance system reliability and performance while reducing the economic impact of downtime.

As LLMs continue to evolve, their integration into observability tools is transforming the landscape of infrastructure and workload observability. The immediate benefits of improved performance monitoring and security are just the beginning.

A QUT-led team of international researchers has made a breakthrough in the development of a type of battery that is much safer and cheaper than the batteries currently charging our smart devices.

The research, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, has demonstrated a way of improving the voltage of aqueous zinc-ion batteries, which are a type of rechargeable battery which have a water-based electrolyte.

QUT researchers involved in the study are Professor Ziqi Sun, Associate Professor Dongchen Qi, and Fan Zhang from the School of Chemistry and Physics, Professor Ting Liao and Professor Cheng Yan from the School of Mechanical, Medical and Process Engineering and Dr. Aaron Micallef from the Central Analytical Research Facility.

But just how self-aware is the tool we call Claude 3 Opus?

EV battery supplier for Tesla, VW and other brands makes huge progress with new LFP power pack.

CATL has announced its new Shenxing Plus battery will be capable of adding as much as 600km of EV range in just 10 minutes, despite relying on cheaper lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry.

DeepMind cofounder and Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman took the stage at TED2024 last week to lay out his vision for an AI-driven future. And according to the AI boss, if you really want to grasp how impactful AI might be to the human species, it might be useful to think of AI as another “species” entirely.

“I think AI should best be understood as something like a new digital species,” Suleyman — who left the Google-owned DeepMind lab in 2022 — told the crowd.

Zhao, who began the run on FTX that eventually revealed fraud at the exchange, pleaded guilty to breaking laws himself.

Teleskope, an early stage startup from a couple of Airbnb vets, wants to automate data cleansing and remediation.

In line with that ambition, Samsung on Tuesday said it has begun mass-producing high-performance memory chips, like HBM3E 8H (8-layer) DRAM, as well as V9 NAND chips, typically used in enterprise servers, AI and cloud devices. The company said it also intends to produce HBM3E 12H (12-layer) chips in the second quarter of this year.

Samsung is the world’s largest memory chip maker and competes with Micron and SK Hynix, a Korean memory chip maker, in the market for HBM chips. Micron kicked off its mass production of 8-layer HBM3E semiconductors in February, and last month at Nvidia’s GTC 2024, SK Hynix said it had also started mass producing HBM3E chips.

As for its foundry business, Samsung said its development of 3-nanometer and 2-nanometer AI chips is “progressing smoothly.”
