In the very first episode of our monhtly Explainable AI podcas, hosts Paul Anthony Claxton and Rohan Hall sat down with James Chalmers, Chief Revenue Officer of Novo Power, to discuss one of the most pressing issues in AI today: energy consumption and its environmental impact. Together, they explored how AI’s rapid expansion is placing significant demands on global power infrastructures and what leaders in the tech industry are doing to address this.The conversation covered various important topics, from the unique power demands of generative AI models to potential solutions like neuromorphic computing and waste heat recapture. If you're interested…

This Is a Glimpse of the Future of AI Robot

stp2y0 CommentsAI, , , ,
Despite stunning AI progress in recent years, robots remain stubbornly dumb and limited. The ones found in factories and warehouses typically go through precisely choreographed routines without much ability to perceive their surroundings or adapt on the fly. The few industrial robots that can see and grasp objects can only do a limited number of things with minimal dexterity due to a lack of general physical intelligence.More generally capable robots could take on a far wider range of industrial tasks, perhaps after minimal demonstrations. Robots will also need more general abilities in order to cope with the enormous variability and…

Meta’s Next Llama AI Models Are Training on a GPU Cluster ‘Bigger Than Anything’ Else

Managing such a gargantuan array of chips to develop Llama 4 is likely to present unique engineering challenges and require vast amounts of energy. Meta executives on Wednesday sidestepped an analyst question about energy access constraints in parts of the US that have hampered companies’ efforts to develop more powerful AI.According to one estimate, a cluster of 100,000 H100 chips would require 150 megawatts of power. The largest national lab supercomputer in the United States, El Capitan, by contrast requires 30 megawatts of power. Meta expects to spend as much as $40 billion in capital this year to furnish data…

Create and fine-tune sentence transformers for enhanced classification accuracy | Amazon Web Services

Sentence transformers are powerful deep learning models that convert sentences into high-quality, fixed-length embeddings, capturing their semantic meaning. These embeddings are useful for various natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as text classification, clustering, semantic search, and information retrieval. In this post, we showcase how to fine-tune a sentence transformer specifically for classifying an Amazon product into its product category (such as toys or sporting goods). We showcase two different sentence transformers, paraphrase-MiniLM-L6-v2 and a proprietary Amazon large language model (LLM) called M5_ASIN_SMALL_V2.0, and compare their results. M5 LLMS are BERT-based LLMs fine-tuned on internal Amazon product catalog data using…

Global Resiliency is a new Amazon Lex capability that enables near real-time replication of your Amazon Lex V2 bots in a second AWS Region. When you activate this feature, all resources, versions, and aliases associated after activation will be synchronized across the chosen Regions. With Global Resiliency, the replicated bot resources and aliases in the second Region will have the same identifiers as those in the source Region. This consistency allows you to seamlessly route traffic to any Region by simply changing the Region identifier, providing uninterrupted service availability. In the event of a Regional outage or disruption, you can…
