NVIDIA’s Wade Vinson during his keynote at Data Center World 2025. Image: Drew Robb/TechnologyAdvice NVIDIA kicked off the Data Center World 2025 event this week in Washington, D.C., with a bold vision for the future of AI infrastructure. In his keynote, Wade Vinson, NVIDIA’s chief data center engineer, introduced the concept of AI-scale data centers; these massive, energy-efficient facilities would meet the soaring demand of accelerated computing. NVIDIA envisions sprawling “AI factories” powered by Blackwell GPUs and DGX SuperPODs, supported by advanced cooling and power systems by Vertiv and Schneider Electric. “There is no doubt that AI factories are a…

A high-profile legal case has unearthed a trove of internal Meta communications, and one particular document has caught the eye of some AI researchers.This reveals new insights into how models are built and could influence who gets to share in the spoils of this new technology.Buried in these court filings is a description of how Meta researchers used a process called ablation to identify which data helped improve the company’s Llama AI models.Ablation is a medical technique that purposely destroys tissue to improve things like brain function. In AI, it involves removing parts of a system to study how those…

Anthropic will roll out its Claude artificial intelligence application to U.S. government agencies under a partnership with Palantir Technologies (PLTR, Financials), the companies announced. Claude for Enterprise will be made available through Palantir’s FedStart program, allowing federal agencies to access the AI tool under Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High and Department of Defense Impact Level 5 security standards. The deployment is expected in the coming months. FedStart helps companies meet government compliance standards quickly by running products within Palantir’s accredited environment. Anthropic said the partnership will allow federal workers to use Claude for writing, data analysis and complex…

[Submitted on 28 Oct 2024 (v1), last revised 17 Apr 2025 (this version, v2)] View a PDF of the paper titled Reducing the Scope of Language Models, by David Yunis and 3 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:We now deploy language models in a wide variety of user-facing applications. Typically, these deployments have some specific purpose, like answering questions about documentation or acting as coding assistants, but they require general language understanding. Under these circumstances these models should not be able to answer irrelevant requests such as, poetry generation or questions about physics, etc. Instead we would like language…

Anthropic on Wednesday introduced Claude’s Max plan, a new subscription tier for its viral chatbot and ChatGPT competitor. The plan has two price points — $100 per month or $200 per month — offering different amounts of usage.
