NVIDIA and Foxconn are building Taiwan’s largest supercomputer, marking a milestone in the island’s AI advancement. The project, Hon Hai Kaohsiung Super Computing Center, revealed Tuesday at Hon Hai Tech Day, will be built around NVIDIA’s groundbreaking Blackwell architecture and feature the GB200 NVL72 platform, which includes a total of 64 racks and 4,608 Tensor Core GPUs. With an expected performance of over 90 exaflops of AI performance, the machine would easily be considered the fastest in Taiwan. Foxconn plans to use the supercomputer, once operational, to power breakthroughs in cancer research, large language model development and smart city innovations,…

WASHINGTON — Black registered voters have an overwhelmingly positive view of Vice President Kamala Harris, but they’re less sure that she would change the country for the better, according to a recent poll from the  AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.The poll, which was conducted in mid-September, found about 7 in 10 Black voters have a somewhat or very favorable view of Harris, with few differences between Black men and women voters on how they view the Democratic candidate. Younger and older Black voters also had similar views of the vice president.Black voters’ opinions of former President Donald Trump, by contrast, were overwhelmingly negative, underscoring the challenges that the Republican candidate…

Deep-learning models are being used in many fields, from health care diagnostics to financial forecasting. However, these models are so computationally intensive that they require the use of powerful cloud-based servers.This reliance on cloud computing poses significant security risks, particularly in areas like health care, where hospitals may be hesitant to use AI tools to analyze confidential patient data due to privacy concerns.To tackle this pressing issue, MIT researchers have developed a security protocol that leverages the quantum properties of light to guarantee that data sent to and from a cloud server remain secure during deep-learning computations.By encoding data into…

In the fast-paced progress of AI, the question of how to evaluate and understand capabilities of state-of-the-art models is timelier than ever. New and capable models are being released frequently, and each release promises the next big leap in frontiers of intelligence. Yet, as researchers and developers, often we ask ourselves: Are these models all comparable, if not the same, in terms of capabilities? There are, of course, strong reasons to believe they are, given that many score similarly in standard benchmarks. In addition, rankings in the numerous leaderboards do not offer a consistent and detailed explanation of why a…
