Lumai Debuts Iris Optical Compute System for Real-Time LLM Inference

Silicon photonics is emerging as a way move massive amounts of data among GPUs and CPUs in HPC systems, but what if you could compute purely with light and photonics? […] The post Lumai’s Photonic Chip Harnesses Light for Big AI Compute Speedup appeared first on AIwire.

Oxford philosopher Carissa Véliz’s ingenious, scathing survey of forecasting takes a well-timed swipe at today’s obsession with predictive algorithms

Oxford team’s technology picked up danger signs with 86% accuracy in study of 72,000 patients in England Oxford scientists have developed a simple AI tool that can predict the risk of heart failure five years before it develops. More than 60 million people worldwide have the condition in which the heart cannot pump blood around the body as well as it should. Spotting cases before they develop into heart failure would be a big step forward, experts say. Doctors could prepare better for and manage the condition at an earlier stage or even prevent it entirely. Continue reading...
