Report: Chinese organizations use public cloud to access restricted AI chips – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTMaria Deutscher, Report: Chinese organizations use public cloud to access restricted AI chips, SiliconANGLE

Multiple organizations in China have sought to rent high-end graphics cards from U.S. cloud providers, Reuters reported late Thursday. The news agency learned of the procurement effort by reviewing publicly-available tender documents. Those are invitations that ask companies to submit bids for a contract, in this case artificial intelligence infrastructure purchases. Under U.S. export controls that rolled out two years ago, Nvidia Corp. is prohibited from selling its high-end H100 and A100 graphics processing units to entitles in China. The rules also cover certain other data center chips optimized for AI workloads. But though such chips can’t be sold or…

Beyond OpenAI: The rise of not-too-large language models – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTBeyond OpenAI: The rise of not-too-large language models, Robert Hof, SiliconANGLE

A flurry of new artificial intelligence models this week illustrated what’s coming next in AI: smaller language models targeted at vertical industries and functions. Both Nvidia and Microsoft debuted smaller large language models too. Also supporting the notion of more customized models — call them VLMs — OpenAI made its GPT-4o fine-tuning generally available. As much as LLMs have captured much of the attention, these smaller, more controlled models look appealing to enterprises concerned about data governance and privacy, not to mention efficiency. Indeed, Chinese startups are heading in the same direction, partly to save energy and partly to avoid…

Generative artificial intelligence is demanding breakneck innovation from enterprises. It’s highlighting a critical need for cohesive data management and driving a seismic shift in data storage, processing and utilization. It’s also prompting a rethink of the open lakehouse concept pioneered by companies such as Onehouse. Supercloud 7 discussion on open lakehouses with Onehouse’s Vinoth Chandar. “We firmly believe an open lakehouse is the way of the future, but there is no Snowflake experience for the lakehouse per se,” said Vinoth Chandar (pictured), chief executive officer of Infinilake Inc. (aka Onehouse). “Onehouse was founded on the premise that we are going to…

SAS looks to go next level with industry-specific AI – SiliconANGLE

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPTRyan Stevens, SAS looks to go next level with industry-specific AI integration — here’s how it's hoping to get there, SiliconANGLE

As the generative artificial intelligence wave continues to revolutionize the technology industry, there’s been a very important question to answer — who has the goods, and who is AI-washing? The distinction is very simple: It involves zeroing in on who can take something from data to decisions, including in the realm of industry-specific AI. That’s where SAS Institute Inc. and its focus on industry-specific AI comes into play, according to Ray Wang, founder and principal analyst of Constellation Research Inc., who spoke with theCUBE during the SAS Innovate event. What the company has been showing is where models come into…
