Archetype AI’s Newton Model Masters Physics From Raw Data

Physicists have developed a deep understanding of the fundamental laws of nature through careful observations, experiments, and precise measurements. However, what if artificial intelligence (AI) could uncover governing laws of the physical world by analyzing data on its own? Researchers at Archetype AI have developed a foundational AI model, called the “Newton AI Model”, capable ... Full article

Nvidia’s Newest Foundation Model Can Actually Spell ‘Strawberry’

A new AI model from Nvidia knows just how many R’s are in the word strawberry, a feat that OpenAI’s GPT-4o model has yet to achieve. In what is known as the "strawberry problem," GPT-4o and a few other established models often give the false answer that ‘strawberry’ only has two R’s. Launched on Hugging ... Full article

AI Exascale: In This Club, You Must ‘Earn the Exa’

There have been some recent press releases and headlines with the phrase “AI Exascale” in them. Other than flaunting the word exascale or even zettascale, these stories do not provide enough information to justify using the term exascale. Those in the HPC community understand words like exascale, which means the computer in question has achieved ... Full article

AI Explores RNA Dark Matter and Finds 70,000 New Viruses

People often associate artificial intelligence with chatbots like ChatGPT, which generates human-like text by predicting the next word based on large datasets. However, a quiet revolution is underway, where scientists are leveraging AI for groundbreaking research and discoveries. In a recent study, researchers have used AI to uncover more than 160,000 potential RNA virus species, ... Full article
