Microsoft has filed a patent for a distributed computing platform that pools idle graphics cards from personal computers to train artificial intelligence models, rewarding users with cash, store credits, or subscriptions.
With connections to the electricity grid taking years, tech companies and data center operators have started powering AI servers by converting passenger jet engines that have reached the end of their flying life into natural gas-fired power turbines.
Neuralink has crossed a historic threshold in brain-computer interface technology by connecting the human brain directly to AI. Patients in its clinical studies can command the Grok AI with the 'Hey Neuralink' mental command and can text and make phone calls on an iPhone by thought.
Speaking on the Cheeky Pint show, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman pointed to the global memory bottleneck and argued that RAM sitting idle in personal computers for most of the day should be pooled in data centers instead, sparking a major debate in the tech world.
NVIDIA has unveiled Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B, a new open-weight model built for edge devices, robotic systems and personal computers. Built on Google's Gemma 4 E4B architecture and running with 8 billion total and 4 billion active parameters, the model offers high-speed inference fully offline, support for 35 languages and multi-turn tool-calling capabilities with a requirement of just 4 GB of VRAM.
DeepSeek has released DeepInfer, the high-performance inference framework it built to run massive production workloads, to the open-source world under the Apache 2.0 license. We take a close look at the architecture of the engine, which supports NVIDIA SM100 GPUs and Huawei Ascend 950 NPUs, its DSpark speculative decoding capabilities, and the missing pieces developers need to build to set up a full live serving stack.
Mueon, the semiconductor and AI infrastructure startup founded by former senior Intel engineers Wilfred Gomes and Jack Hwang, has pushed its total funding above $80 million with a $65 million Series A round.
Chinese tech giant Huawei and AI lab DeepSeek are running a broad strategic partnership, from chip design to the open source TileLang infrastructure, to strengthen the domestic hardware and software ecosystem against US sanctions.
NVIDIA has made the entire Run:ai platform, which optimizes GPU sharing and AI workload scheduling in enterprise Kubernetes clusters, available as open source on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.
Developed by Meta, Muse Spark Open has 816 billion total and 42 billion active parameters and launches with a 1 million token context window, advanced coding skills and local execution on two M5 Ultra Mac Studios with 1 TB of unified memory.
Released as open source, WorldPlay2 uses the 14-billion-parameter Wan2.2 architecture and special memory tokens to turn a single image into a consistent virtual world you can explore in real time.
Microsoft announced Hybrid Intelligence, an architecture that takes AI in the Windows 11 ecosystem beyond the cloud and brings it together with local hardware. With Copilot's file management, new Search capabilities, the Microsoft Execution Containers security model and RTX Spark powered AI PCs, a new era is beginning for personal computers.
EVREN, the national AI platform developed by the SSB, is now available with a high-performance Nvidia H200 GPU cluster, a pool of open-weight LLMs and an architecture built around data sovereignty.
Taking a groundbreaking step against global semiconductor embargoes, DeepSeek announced it will train its 8 trillion parameter next-generation model on Huawei Ascend chips. CANN optimizations, DSpark speculative inference and an off-peak API rate mark the start of hardware independence in AI.
Google Cloud is doubling its closest rival in Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) sales and moving fast toward a $100 billion AI infrastructure target.
Samsung announced its Q2 2026 results. With $119 billion in revenue and $62 billion in operating profit, the tech giant set records in AI chip sales, while its mobile unit posted a loss for the first time in its history because of rising memory costs.
SK Hynix CEO Kwak Noh-jung said the memory industry could face the worst supply crunch in its history in 2027 due to AI-driven demand. The crisis is expected to be long-lasting and could affect even the years beyond 2030.
Details of DeepSeek's mysterious hardware project, in which the company has started developing its own custom AI inference chips to reduce its dependence on Nvidia and Huawei.
We take a close look at the Perplexity Computer agent's Microsoft 365 integration and the infrastructure revolution of Nvidia's new 'Vera' CPUs that increases inference speed by 1.5 times.
