Google releases AI that can predict future natural catastrophes

Jak Connor | Apr 23, 2024 11:48 AM CDT

Google is set to shake up the weather prediction industry with the release of SEEDS, or the Scalable Ensemble Envelope Diffusion Sampler AI model.

Google releases AI that can predict future natural catastrophes

The new Large Language Model (LLM) is designed to provide accurate weather predictions much cheaper and faster than traditional weather prediction tools, specifically, weather events such as hurricanes or heat waves that can have a potentially devastating impact on regions. So, how does it work? Predicting the weather inherently is difficult due to the multitude of variables that are at play, with current forecasting being good enough for conditions such as local temperature, it gets progressively more difficult the further out into the future those predictions.

It gets even harder to predict the occurrence of an extreme weather event as that is a culmination of all the variables in typical weather predictions plus random variables that would induce an extreme weather event. The accuracy of predicting an extreme weather event is currently extremely low, with Google explaining that a model needs to incorporate 10,000 weather predictions for an event to have a 1% likelihood of occurrence.

LG's kitchen of the future includes a Gourmet AI oven that will take care of the cooking

Kosta Andreadis | Apr 23, 2024 8:08 AM CDT

Last week, LG was in Milan, Italy, showcasing its latest built-in kitchen appliances, including a Signature Kitchen Suite with a built-in oven, 'free zone induction hob,' and downdraft hood. Now, you might be wondering why we're suddenly bringing you news about a new all-in-one oven do-dad - that's because AI powers it.

LG's kitchen of the future includes a Gourmet AI oven that will take care of the cooking

LG calls it Gourmet AI. The oven can identify what is being cooked through video recognition and automatically select the suitable cooking mode from 130 recipes. With Gourmet AI, the oven also keeps tabs on the cooking process, watching how pizza or a steak is 'browning' and then alerting users via LG's ThinQ app to let them know what they were cooking is done.

There's also real-time video monitoring so that you can watch those cookies cook, and time-lapse recordings are also available - which is a pretty cool feature for an oven.

AI discovers famous painting wasn't entirely painted by the credited artist

Jak Connor | Apr 19, 2024 2:32 AM CDT

Humans are only so good at detecting details in art, which is why researchers have decided to train an AI algorithm to detect what humans can't and only suspect.

AI discovers famous painting wasn't entirely painted by the credited artist

A team of researchers from the UK and US created a custom algorithm using a pre-trained architecture called ResNet50, which was developed by Microsoft. The team took advantage of a common machine learning technique to improve the algorithm, feeding it with authenticated paintings by the famous artist Raphael. The goal was to teach the AI to identify with a high degree of accuracy brushstrokes in paintings that were created by Raphael's hand and the faces of people within those paintings.

One painting, in particular, from Raphael, has been a point of debate among scholars. The Madonna della Rosa, or Madonna of the Rose, was painted on canvas from 1518 to 1520. Scholars have been debating for many years if the painting was an original work by the famed artist or if its creation involved another hand, specifically with the face of St Joseph. Some scholars have argued that St Joseph's face isn't as meticulously crafted as the Raphael's other pieces of work, leading them to believe it was done by another painter.

AI startup: AMD Instinct MI300X is 'far superior' option to NVIDIA Hopper H100 AI GPU

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 18, 2024 10:00 PM CDT

AI startup TensorWave is one of the first with a publically deployed setup powered by AMD Instinct MI300X AI accelerators, and its CEO says they're a far better option than NVIDIA's dominant Hopper H100 AI GPU.

AI startup: AMD Instinct MI300X is 'far superior' option to NVIDIA Hopper H100 AI GPU

TensorWave started racking up AI systems powered by AMD's just-released Instinct MI300X AI accelerator, which it plans to lease the MI300X chips at a fraction of the cost of NVIDIA's Hopper H100 AI GPU. TensorWave plans to have 20,000 of AMD's new Instinct MI300X AI accelerators before the end of the year across two facilities, and has plans to have liquid-cooled systems online in 2025.

Jeff Tatarchuk said that AMD's new Instinct MI300X AI GPU in "just raw specs, the MI300X dominates H100," and he's not wrong. But that's the original H100 with 40GB and 80GB HBM3 options, while a beefed-up H200 with a much larger 141GB of ultra-fast HBM3e memory with up to 4.8TB/sec of memory bandwidth, but once Blackwell B200 is here, NVIDIA owns the AI GPU game with 192TB of HBM3e at 8TB/sec memory bandwidth for the B200 AI GPU.

Meet Microsoft's VASA-1: AI can now take a photo and turn it into a 'talking head' video clip

Darren Allan | Apr 18, 2024 2:30 PM CDT

A fresh jaw-dropping initiative for AI, this one from Microsoft, runs like this - give AI a photo of someone, and an audio clip of their voice, and it'll mock up a video clip of that person chatting away.

Meet Microsoft's VASA-1: AI can now take a photo and turn it into a 'talking head' video clip

So, from just an image and a minute long chunk of audio of the person's voice - which is what was used to create the example videos Microsoft shares - you get these fully realized talking faces, complete with lifelike facial expressions, head and eye movements, full lip-syncing, and so on.

In short, the whole works needed for it to look like a totally realistic video of said person espousing their thoughts on any given topic, all generated in real-time by the AI.

NVIDIA's new Blackwell AI GPUs drives TSMC to increase CoWoS output by over 150% in 2024

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 16, 2024 11:37 PM CDT

NVIDIA's new wave of Blackwell AI GPUs will boost demand for TSMC's advanced CoWoS packaging capacity by over 150% in 2024.

NVIDIA's new Blackwell AI GPUs drives TSMC to increase CoWoS output by over 150% in 2024

In a new report from TrendForce, the next-gen Blackwell AI GPU platform that includes the B200 and B100 AI GPUs -- as well as the GB200, which also features NVIDIA's in-house Arm-based Grace CPU -- all use CoWoS packaging from TSMC, and projections suggest millions of shipments of high-end B200 AI GPUs are expected in 2025 making up close to 50% of NVIDIA's high-end GPU market.

NVIDIA will launch its new GB200 and B200 in the second half of 2024, with upstream wafer packaging needing to adopt a much more complex, and high-precision CoWoS-L technology, which will make validation and testing take more time. On top of that, more time is needed to optimize the B-series for AI server systems in things like network communication and cooling performance.

Intel uses in-house AI tools to optimize SoC layouts from 6 weeks, to just 'minutes'

Anthony Garreffa | Apr 16, 2024 9:01 PM CDT

Intel is now talking about its new augmented intelligence tool developed in-house by Intel engineers, system-on-chip (SoC) designers now aren't waiting 6 weeks to see if they hit the sensor sweet spot, thanks to AI they're getting these answers in just a few minutes.

Intel uses in-house AI tools to optimize SoC layouts from 6 weeks, to just 'minutes'

The new AI-powered tool developed by the Augmented Intelligence team led by Dr. Olena Zhu, senior principal engineer and AI solution artitect inside of Intel's Client Computing Group (CCG), helped Intel's system architecture factor thousands of variables into future silicon designs, with it being just one of many where Intel teams are using AI to optimize various workloads.

Engineers are required to analyze complex, concurrent workloads that activate the CPU core, input/output (I/O), and other system functions precisely to determine the location of thermal hotspots on a processor. The engineers also have to decide where to place very tiny sensors-each is barely larger than the tip of your average pin, says Intel-which makes things more complicated again.
