Nvidia and DeepSeek

Nvidia and DeepSeek

Comments 0 Comment

DeepSeek challenged a tech industry consensus that to build bigger and better A.I. systems, companies would have to build bigger and more powerful data centers. It set off fears that companies might pullback on their spending with Nvidia. Since then, a new consensus has emerged that Nvidia will continue to benefit because it will become affordable for more companies to develop A.I. systems. An expanded field of A.I. business would create more customers for Nvidia’s expensive chips, not fewer, as…

Harland Sanders, known universally as “Colonel Sanders,” started selling chicken from a roadside motel in 1930 in Kentucky. He prepared the meat in a pressure cooker, which sealed in the flavor. The secret chicken recipe, including its famous 11 herbs and spices, was established in. 1939, and the colonel began wearing his trademark white suit in 1950. The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in 1952 near Salt Lake City. After selling the company in 1964, Mr. Sanders – his…

AI systems based on two model types

AI systems based on two model types

Comments 0 Comment

The current frontier of AI systems is based on two model types(they are almost identical under the hood, but their behavior is notably different in practice, hence the distinction) Pre-trained models, also known as ‘non-reasoning models’ These are the famous ‘Large Language Models’, or LLMs, gigantic AI models trained on as much as data as possible, reaching double digits of trillions of words (for reference, Lama 3.1 405B was trained on 15 trillion tokens ~ 11-12.5 trillion words, and DeepSeek…

How did DeepSeek build its A.I. with less money?

How did DeepSeek build its A.I. with less money?

The Chinese start-up used several technological tricks, including a method called “mixture of experts” to significantly reduce the cost of building the technology. A.I. companies typically train their chatbots using supercomputers packed with 16,000 specialized chips or more. But DeepSeek said it needed only about 2,000. DeepSeek engineers needed only about $6 million in raw computing power, roughly one-tenth of what Meta spent in building its latest A.I. technology. What exactly did DeepSeek do? How are A.I. technologies built? Companies…

DeepSeek made two critical changes. Firstly. the architecture. OpenAI uses an AI architecture known as “fully dense”. This basically means that the architecture is comprised of a single, vast network that processes every request with all its parameters and data points. This is incredibly computationally dense, but the idea is that it can make it more capable in a broader application. DeepSeek is instead much more picky and uses a “mixture of experts” architecture. In this approach, the AI is…

책을 읽으면서 우리나라 보수 정치집단의 지금 상황과 소름끼칠 정도로 잘 어울리는 단락이 있어 인용해 본다. In a well-functioning democracy, citizens trust the results of elections, the decisions of courts, the reports of media outlets, and the findings of scientific disciplines because citizens believe these institutions are committed to the truth. Once people think that power is the only reality, they lose trust in all these institutions, democracy collapses, and the strongmen can seize total power. Of course, populism could lead…

What is Distillation in A.I. ?

DeepSeek shook up the U.S. stock market, and it’s still creating shock wavers around world. But the newest allegation is that DeepSeek actually used a particular process to put together its training data, and it’s one that some consider to be a little shady. The new U.S. president’s AI and crypto czar David Sacks is one of those who is getting in on the action, saying in an interview with Fox News that there was “substantial evidence” that this kind…

DeepSeek’s breakthrough on cost challenges the “bigger is better” narrative that has driven the A.I. arms race in recent years by showing that relatively small models, when trained properly, can match or exceed the performance of much bigger models. That, in turn, means that A.I. companies may be able to achieve very powerful capabilities with far less investment than previously thought. And it suggests that we may soon see a flood of investment into smaller A.I. start-ups, and much more…

OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank formed a new joint venture called Stargate to invest in data centers, building on major U.S. investments in the technology. On Tuesday(2025.1.21), President Trump announced a joint venture between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle called Stargate, which aims to invest at least $100 billion in U.S. data centers. The group behind the project said it could invest as much as half a trillion dollars in Stargate over the next four years. Elon Musk, who runs a competing…

식물들이 우는 소리를 낼 때 나방은 결정한다.

식물들이 우는 소리를 낼 때 나방은 결정한다.

Comments 0 Comment

중요한 번식 결정을 돕기위해 벌레들은 스트레스 상태에 놓인 식물들의 울음 소리에 의존한다고 새로운 연구가 제시되었다. 비행기에서 우는 아기 옆자리에는 앉고 싶지 않을 것이다. 분명 나방들도 식물에 대해 동일한 감정을 느낄 것이다. 일부 식물들은 물이 부족하거나 다른 형태의 스트레스 상황에 놓이게 되면 초음파로 된 슬픈 멜로디의 울음소리를 낸다. 어떤 나방은 이런 소리를 알아챌 수 있다. 그리고 벌레들은 그 소리가 어떤 식물 위에 알을 낳아야 할 지 선택하기 위한 단서로 해석할 것이라는 것을 연구자들이 밝혀냈다고 한다. 이런 발견은 지난 달(‘24.11)에 발표된 논문에…
