Stable Diffusion 2.0 model recipe: Out-of-the-box configuration for Stable Diffusion 2.0 in Colossal-AI enables low-cost training, fine-tuning, and inference, while also reducing GPU memory consumption by up to 5.6 times and hardware costs by up to 46 times. All of which can be achieved with just one line of code. BLOOM model recipe: The ready-made inclusion of the 175 billion parameter BLOOM model offers stand-alone inference with a 4-fold reduction in GP

The move, aimed at strengthening America's domestic chip supply chain, represents an additional $30 billion beyond Micron's previous investment commitments and includes plans to build a second leading-edge memory fabri

Other advancements, such as RTX Neural Shaders and RTX Mega Geometry, promise heightened realism in video games, including precise face and hair rendering using generative AI.Cosmos: Ushering in physical AINVIDIA took another step forward with the Cosmos platform at CES 2025, which Huang described as a “game-changer” for robotics, industrial AI, and AVs. Much like the impact of large language models on generative AI, Cosmos represents a new frontier for AI

Machine learning (ML) models continue to evolve in scale and algorithmically, a trend that burdens system developers with ever-increasing compute and power requirements for training and deployment. How to meet the demands? Tech giant Nvidia’s A100 high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) dominated the AI accelerator market until Google joined the campaign in 2016 with its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). This week, Google introduced its newest entry,

The apparently widespread access to Blackwell GPUs among Chinese frontier labs shows the magnitude of the problem facing the leading chip designer. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang left the company this week after admitting to his affair with Alice Huang, executive of Megaspeed, a company implicated in smuggling Nvidia chips into China. Alice Huang has also been alleged to be an agent of China’s intelligence service. While Jensen Huang’s relationships with a custom

Over the last several years, Nvidia has been a prolific investor, pouring tens of billions into startups annually and participating in 105 rounds this year alone, often as the largest investor, according to PitchBook. “If that direction changes, it’ll be a big blow to so many young companies,” said Maria Davidson, founder of Relational Capital. Huang’s absence leaves the startup ecosystem without one of its biggest champions and with far less capital for n

The Essential The press has taken note of Apple's admission of dependence on Google, but the agreement is more nuanced: Google would provide Gemini as a « teacher » through distillation during training, while inference would take place in the cloud. This technical division nuances the media narrative and illustrates the complexity of the partnership between Apple and Google.

Everything about Artificial Intelligence view more Rene Haas, CEO of Arm Holdings, stated in an interview with the BBC that artificial intelligence (AI) could help find a cure for cancer that would not be discovered by humans during their lifetimes. According to the executive, advancements in computers and the ability to feed models with more data should allow solving problems currently considered too complex. Haas made the statements on the podcast Big Bo

The news came in a company blog post late Monday and Huang also spoke about the coup on China's state-run CGTN television n

One of the biggest PR challenges currently facing Silicon Valley is the sizable ecological impact of building new AI systems; just this morning, the Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft has inked a new deal with Chevron to build a sprawling new data center in West Texas powered by natural gas. Now, Nvidia is claiming to have effectively removed at least one major component of the AI industry’s environmental footprint: its dependency on local water s

OpenAI fired the starting gun for the AI race in late 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT and has since become one of the most valuable startups in the world, reaching hundreds of millions of users every day. Its success, however, has depended on a web of partnerships with other companies that make the silicon chips upon which its AI systems depend. On Wednesday, OpenAI took its biggest step yet towards full technological independence with the unveiling of a n

In a recent appearance on the podcast “BG2,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang agonized that China is now “nanoseconds behind” US chipmakers, the companies building the hardware undergirding the multi-billion dollar AI boom. Just weeks ago, China’s internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of Chi

The price of computers, gaming consoles, and even smartphones has gone up this year, all thanks to the AI boom. Now, one of the companies most responsible for that boom is looking back at the good ol’ days, when Nvidia was still best known in the PC gaming world. Nvidia announced on Thursday that it is introducing its first series of “GeForce Trading Cards,” highlighting key moments in the history of its graphics processing units (GPUs). The first set incl

Source: Mark Ralston / AFP via Getty Images When talking about the giants dominating the AI game, people tend to consider OpenAI, the massive private company behind ChatGPT, or else Google’s Gemini, or perhaps Microsoft’s Copilot. In other words, no one really thinks about Elon Musk as an AI leader. Evidently, that’s a perception he’s hoping to change with the construction of an enormous computing complex in

Multibillion dollar AI deals are being inked left and right between the heavyweights of the tech sector, dazzling us with awesome sums and promising that this revolutionary tech is just getting started. But there’s something very worrying about many of these deals: they’re often “circular,” as a slew of recent coverage has noted, meaning that AI companies are po

Intel, Microsoft and many homegrown startups also conduct a sizable share of their R&D in Israel. But owing to Nvidia’s stronghold on AI given the centrality of its GPUs for training LLMs and using them, many in the country are wondering how much of a reshuffle will result from its leadership crisis. As with everything at Nvidia, Huang drove the company to acquire Israeli chipmaker Mellanox for $6.9 billion in 2019 and use the company as the base for its l
