Chip manufacturer Nvidia has officially started production of AI supercomputers at multiple U.S. factories operated through partnerships, marking the first such hardware to be built within the country. On Monday, Nvidia announced that its Blackwell chips have begun production at a factory operated in partnership with TSMC in Phoenix, Arizona, as detailed in a press release. The chip maker also continues to work on the construction of two future factories to be operated in Texas, in partnership with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Nvidia says that mass production of the Blackwell GPUs is expected to ramp up at…

Nvidia said it is working with its manufacturing partners to design and build factories that, for the first time, will produce Nvidia AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. Together with leading manufacturing partners, the company has commissioned more than a million square feet of manufacturing space to build and test Nvidia Blackwell chips in Arizona and AI supercomputers in Texas. Nvidia’s ecosystem partners will spend $500 million on the AI infrastructure. The Santa Clara, California-based company, which has been leading the development of AI chips and the ecosystem around them, declined to say if it will own and operate the…

In a blog post last July, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that “selling access” to Meta’s openly available Llama AI models “isn’t [Meta’s] business model.” Yet Meta does make at least some money from Llama through revenue-sharing agreements, according to a newly unredacted court filing. The filing, submitted by attorneys for the plaintiffs in the copyright lawsuit Kadrey v. Meta, in which Meta stands accused of training its Llama models on hundreds of terabytes of pirated e-books, reveals that Meta “shares a percentage of the revenue” that companies hosting its Llama models generate from users of those models. The filing…

J Studios/Getty ImagesFor better or worse, AI tools have steadily become a reality of the academic landscape since ChatGPT launched in late 2022. Anthropic is studying what that looks like in real time. On Tuesday, shortly after launching Claude for Education, the company released data on which tasks university students use its AI chatbot Claude for and which majors use it the most. Also: The work tasks people use Claude AI for most, according to AnthropicUsing Clio, the company’s data analysis tool, to maintain user privacy, Anthropic analyzed 574,740 anonymized conversations between Claude and users at the Free and Pro…

AI is already transforming fields like graphic design, movie making, and computer programming, but it might soon upturn the hard sciences as well. David Silver, a prominent researcher at Google Deepmind and the lead researcher at AlphaGo, has offered some compelling insights into the future of mathematics and the role of artificial intelligence. He hints at a future where AI mathematicians not only solve some of the world’s most challenging mathematical puzzles but fundamentally reshape the field itself. “The Clay Mathematics Institute, in the year 2000, offered a million-dollar prize for seven different mathematical problems,” Silver was asked in an…

OpenAI has introduced GPT-4.1, a successor to the GPT-4o multimodal artificial intelligence model launched by the company last year. During a livestream on Monday, OpenAI said GPT-4.1 has an even larger context window and is better than GPT-40 in “just about every dimension,” with big improvements to coding and instruction following.GPT-4.1 is now available to developers, along with two smaller model versions included in the rollout. There’s a GPT-4.1 Mini model that, like its predecessor, is more affordable for developers to tinker with, as well as GPT-4.1 Nano, an even more lightweight model that OpenAI said is its “smallest, fastest,…

Arcadia Earth is debuting the first installment of its four-part immersive film at the Liberty Science Center’s planetarium from April 19-27, offering a 360° exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature.Arcadia Earth Fashion is one of the largest consumers of freshwater in the world. From cotton farming to textile dyeing, the industry uses approximately 79 billion cubic meters of water annually, enough to meet the needs of 5 million people for an entire year (World Bank). Arcadia Earth has been a proponent of the sustainability conversations around fashion, with a pop-up in Soho, New York City amid the pandemic, that became…

Major enterprise vendors are placing different bets on agentic technology, yet there is one factor that will determine whether these will ultimately succeed: reinventing the software stack to eliminate silos. One of the central players in this software stack transformation is ServiceNow Inc. Through a series of new releases and key partnerships, the workflow automation company is leveraging its software-as-a-service platform to enable agentic AI for customer support, HR, IT management and more. The streamlined integration of AI agents and intelligent task-oriented pieces of software that can carry out tasks autonomously will be a key ingredient in ServiceNow’s go-to-market strategy…

OpenAI said on Monday that it would soon wind down the availability of GPT-4.5, its largest-ever AI model, via its API. GPT-4.5 was released only in late February. Developers will have access to GPT-4.5 via OpenAI’s API until July 14, after which they’ll have to transition to another model in OpenAI’s catalog, the company says. OpenAI is positioning GPT-4.1, which launched Monday, as the preferred replacement. “[GPT-4.1] offers similar or improved performance than GPT-4.5 in key areas at a much lower cost,” an OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch via email. “[W]e will [be] deprecating GPT-4.5 to prioritize building future models.” To…
