From MIPS to exaflops in mere decades: Compute power is exploding, and it will transform AI
April 7, 2025
At the recent Nvidia GTC conference, the company unveiled what it described as the first single-rack system of servers capable of one exaflop — one billion billion, or a quintillion, floating-point operations (FLOPS) per second. This breakthrough is based on the latest GB200 NVL72 system, which incorporates Nvidia’s latest Blackwell graphics processing units (GPUs). A standard computer rack is…
TL;DR
In 2025, real estate is being redefined by AI, but not all tools are built equal. While legacy platforms like Skyline AI, Cherre, HouseCanary, and Enodo offer specialized capabilities, most remain expensive, U.S.-centric, or built for enterprise-only access. Enter…

The tool integration problem that’s holding back enterprise AI (and how CoTools solves it)
April 3, 2025
Researchers from the Soochow University of China have introduced Chain-of-Tools (CoTools), a novel framework designed to enhance how large language models (LLMs) use external tools. CoTools aims to provide a more efficient and flexible approach compared to existing methods. This will allow LLMs to leverage vast toolsets directly within their reasoning process, including ones they haven’t…
