With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, the demand for power in data centers is skyrocketing. Nuclear energy is poised to play a crucial role in the evolving energy landscape. However, nuclear energy alone won’t solve the energy puzzle. Other energy sources, including natural gas, renewable energy, and advanced battery technology, will be needed to ... Full article
The current paradigm of generative AI (genAI) and large language models (LLMs) may soon be obsolete, according to Meta’s Chief AI Scientist, Yann LeCun. He argues that new breakthroughs are needed for the systems to understand and interact with the physical world. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, LeCun remarked on GenAI systems: ... Full article
For years, the rise of large language models (LLMs) has required users to develop a new skill: prompt engineering. To get useful responses, people have had to carefully craft their queries, learning the nuances of how AI interprets language. But that dynamic may be shifting. With advances in natural language processing (NLP) and multi-modal AI, ... Full article
Editor’s Note: The blending of Quantum and AI — QuantumAI — is a hot topic currently. What exactly does that mean? HPCwire asked Bob Sutor, a longtime high-tech researcher and quantum industry veteran (bio at end of article) to weigh on the subject. You may be familiar with Bob as the author of Dancing with Qubits and ... Full article
GenAI hit the scene fast and furious when ChatGPT was released on November 30, 2022. The quest for bigger and better models has changed the hardware, data center, and power landscape and foundational models are still under rapid development. One of the challenges in HPC and technical computing is finding where GenAI “fits in” and, more importantly, ... Full article
The meteoric rise of DeepSeek R-1 has put the spotlight on an emerging type of AI model called a reasoning model.
