The custom chip is designed to train Meta’s artificial intelligence systems and reduce the company’s dependency on third-party suppliers like Nvidia, with Meta aiming to use its own in-house chips by 2026.
The company is already using a previous-gen chip to train its ranking and recommendation algorithms, but this would be its first used to train generative tools like Meta AI.
The platform has been going down intermittently since around 5:40AM ET on Monday, with no official ETA for when the outages will be resolved, and no details provided about what’s causing the issues. Musk made similar claims about cyberattacks impacting X’s services last year when Spaces crashed out during a scheduled conversation with Donald Trump, though X staffers at the time told The Verge that an attack hadn’t occurred.
Season 1-7 of Donald Trump’s competition reality TV series will be available to stream starting today until April 27th via Amazon’s video platform, which is also paying $40 million to license Melania Trump’s documentary after Jeff Bezos started sucking up to the President.
Producer Mark Burnett says The Apprentice is “one of the best shows” he ever created. “The charismatic onscreen presence of President Donald J. Trump made it a bona fide hit. Now, thanks to Prime Video, a whole new audience will experience a new season every Monday.”
That’s according to the Aeroht subsidiary of EV carmaker Xpeng, which is planning to start mass production of its “land aircraft carrier” next year, The Straits Times reports, hoping to succeed where other consumer flying car projects have failed.
The modular offering includes a folding two-seater passenger drone ferried aboard a Cybertruck-looking six-wheeled van. The package is set to cost no more than two million yuan (about $276,000), with 10,000 vehicles expected to be produced each year.
The electronics maker known for assembling Apple’s iPhones has launched its own large language model to improve manufacturing and supply chain management. The model, dubbed “FoxBrain,” is capable of reasoning, data analysis, mathematics, and code generation, and was trained in four weeks using 120 Nvidia H100 GPUs.
Foxconn plans to open-source FoxBrain to collaborate with industry partners, and says the model is based on Meta’s Llama 3.1, with performance approaching “world-leading standards.”
Following the Miraidon project created by Toyota last year, both of the legendary mascots from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have now been brought to life. The life-size Koraidon prototype is on display until Sunday at Tokyo’s Honda Aoyama Building. Its legs can actually move to imitate how the Pokémon runs in-game! The bike is only for show right now, but may be moving by this summer at a leisurely 6 mph.
