I talked with Herbert Ong about Tesla compute and how I believed Tesla had 100,000 H100 ordered. I only wondered if they were installed and operating. I also told Herbert that I expected large Nvidia B200 orders by Tesla and XAI so that they each add another 800 Exaflops of compute by the end of …
I have used the new open source Meta Llama3 AI model. It can generate images and you can edit the images by asking for changes to previously generated images. The system is faster and easier to use than many of the other image generators. It is pretty good at math and coding. It was able …
Tesla has made rapid progress with the full self driving system after they completed version 12 of the AI. They have replaced the coded rules for a complete system of neural networks to control perception, navigation and planning. Tesla has announced that they will unveil the robotaxi on August 8, 2024. However, it is now …
Youtuber, Internet of bugs, broke down the Devin Upwork video frame by frame. He shows what Devin was supposed to do, what it actually managed to do instead, and how bad a job of that it did. Devin was not given the right instructions by the Cognition Employee. It was supposed to write instructions for …
DARPA’s Air Combat Evolution (ACE) program had the first-ever in-air tests of AI algorithms autonomously flying a fighter jet against a human-piloted fighter jet in within-visual-range combat scenarios (aka dogfighting). The General Dynamics X-62 VISTA (“Variable Stability In-flight Simulator Test Aircraft”) is an experimental aircraft, derived from the F-16D Fighting Falcon, which was modified as …
Llama 3 is Meta’s latest generation of models that has state-of-the art performance and efficiency for openly available LLMs. Meta AI is available online for free. The small 7B model beats Mistral 7B and Gemma 7B. The 70B beats Claude 3 Sonnet (closed source Anthropic model) and competes against Gemini Pro 1.5 (closed source model …
Today, Intel has built the world’s largest neuromorphic system. It is code-named Hala Point, this large-scale neuromorphic system, initially deployed at Sandia National Laboratories, utilizes Intel’s Loihi 2 processor. It is aimed at supporting research for future brain-inspired artificial intelligence (AI), and tackles challenges related to the efficiency and sustainability of today’s AI. Hala Point …
Reka Core is a new LLM that is competitive with OpenAI GPT4 and Anthropic Claude 3. Reka Core can identify an African Elephant from a picture by looking at its ears. It was a model created by a team of twenty people. Reka, a California-based AI startup, appears to be ready to go head-to-head with …
Boston Dynamics has released a video unveiling their next generation humanoid robot. It is a fully electric Atlas robot designed for real-world applications. Atlas demonstrates efforts to develop the next generation of robots with the mobility, perception, and intelligence needed to be commonplace in our lives. The electric Atlas has been developed with advanced control …
There are exclusive articles for paid subscribers on the Nextbigfuture Substack. The history of human colonization tells us what is needed for a future sustainable human interstellar colonization. What is needed for Artificial Superintelligence. Here is an overview of what is needed for AGI and ASI level AI. I will briefly review some key concepts …
I did a video with Brighter with Herbert, Herbert Ong. I explained why the chart from last year showing Tesla going to 100 Exaflops of compute in October 2024 is out of date. Elon Musk said that both XAI and Tesla had over 30,000 H100 chip equivalents. Nvidia H100 chips each have petaflops of compute. …
