Researchers from the Center for AI Safety (CAIS), MIT’s Media Lab, the Brazilian university UFABC, and the pandemic prevention non-profit SecureBio have found that leading artificial intelligence models can outperform experienced, PhD-level virologists in troubleshooting complex laboratory procedures. The findings, detailed in a new study introducing the Virology Capabilities Test (VCT), demonstrate AI’s proficiency in specialized scientific tasks but also highlight serious dual-use concerns, suggesting these tools could lower the barrier for creating dangerous biological agents. The VCT benchmark, consisting of 322 questions and detailed further in its research paper, was designed specifically to measure an AI’s ability to assist…

China’s leading tech firms, including ByteDance, Alibaba (HK:9988), and Tencent (HK:0700), have reportedly stockpiled close to one million units of Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) H20 AI chips in anticipation of tightened U.S. export restrictions, according to Nikkei Asia. The bulk purchases—valued at over $12 billion—aimed to secure nearly a year’s supply before the April export ban took effect. The H20 chip, a scaled-down version of Nvidia’s high-performance H100, is tailored to meet U.S. export controls and is widely used for AI inference tasks. Demand for AI computing in China is soaring, driven by the rapid growth of AI-powered applications like DeepSeek, now…
Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…
One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…

What just happened? Microsoft has introduced BitNet b1.58 2B4T, a new type of large language model engineered for exceptional efficiency. Unlike conventional AI models that rely on 16- or 32-bit floating-point numbers to represent each weight, BitNet uses only three discrete values: -1, 0, or +1. This approach, known as ternary quantization, allows each weight to be stored in just 1.58 bits. The result is a model that dramatically reduces memory usage and can run far more easily on standard hardware, without requiring the high-end GPUs typically needed for large-scale AI. The BitNet b1.58 2B4T model was developed by Microsoft’s…
Chinese internet companies, including ByteDance, Alibaba Group Holding BABA, and Tencent Holding TCEHY, hoarded billions of dollars worth of Nvidia Corp NVDA H20 artificial intelligence (AI) chips as the U.S. semiconductor sanctions kicked in.
