When it comes to actually storing the numerical weights that power an LLM's underlying neural network, most modern AI models rely on the precision of 16- or 32-bit floating point numbers. But that level of precision can come at the cost of large memory footprints (in the hundreds of gigabytes for the largest models) and significant processing resources needed for the complex matrix multiplication used when responding to prompts. Now, researchers at Microsoft's General Artificial Intelligence gr

A digital investigation reveals how AI can latch on to technical terminology, despite it being complete nonsense. AI trawling the internet’s vast repository of journal articles has reproduced an error that’s made its way into dozens of research papers—and now a team of researchers has found the source of the issue. It’s the question on the tip of everyone’s tongues: What the hell is “vegetative electron microscopy”? As it turns out, the term is nonsensical. It sounds technical—maybe even cred

The model is trained to analyze and generate dolphin vocalizations, all running through the Pixel 6. Google’s Pixel phones already have you covered to understand different languages with Live Translate. But now, the company is taking things a big splash further.

By the time the war was over, U.S. science and engineering had blown past the British, and led the world for 85 years.

Beginning in 2022, U.S. companies are required to capitalize and amortize R&D rather than immediately deduct these expenditures.
