The big picture: You can't go five minutes these days without hearing about AI this and AI that. But have you ever wondered how we got here? The credit largely goes to a groundbreaking neural network from 2012 called AlexNet. While it didn't cause an immediate sensation, it ultimately became the foundation for the deep learning revolution we're experiencing today. Now, after years of negotiations, the original source code has finally been released to the public. That's thanks to a collaborative

On Thursday, Google and the Computer History Museum (CHM) jointly released the source code for AlexNet, the convolutional neural network (CNN) that many credit with transforming the AI field in 2012 by proving that "deep learning" could achieve things conventional AI techniques could not. Deep learning, which uses multi-layered neural networks that can learn from data without explicit programming, represented a significant departure from traditional AI approaches that relied on hand-crafted rul

At the beginning of November 2024, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rejected Amazon’s request to buy an additional 180 megawatts of power directly from the Susquehanna nuclear power plant for a data center located nearby. The rejection was due to the argument that buying power directly instead of getting it through the grid like everyone else works against the interests of other users. Demand for power in the US has been flat for nearly 20 years. “But now we’re seeing load for

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote Tuesday at the company’s GTC 2025 conference stuck with tradition and was chock full of announcements. But the company also snuck in a little history lesson. During the automotive portion of his speech, Huang referred to AlexNet, a neural network architecture that gained widespread attention in 2012 when it won a computer image recognition contest. Designed by computer scientist Alex Krizhevsky in collaboration with Ilya Sutskever (who’d go on to found OpenAI)
