Stability AI is opening up its generative AI efforts for audio today with the release of Stable Audio Open 1.0. Stability AI is perhaps best known for its stable diffusion text-to-image generation AI technology, but that’s only one part of the company’s broader portfolio, which includes multiple models for code, text and audio. In Sept. 2023, Stability AI first publicly launched Stable Audio…
RelationalAI, a startup that applies artificial intelligence directly to relational data, today announced the general availability of its Knowledge Graph Coprocessor on the Snowflake Data Cloud. The offering, first previewed last year (which we covered in-depth here)…
New AI innovations and benchmarks are announced every day (often multiple times a day), and enterprises are clamoring to take advantage. But sometimes it can be difficult to bridge the gap between what works in the lab and what works in the enterprise pipeline. To help…
Foundation models have revolutionized the fields of computer vision and natural language processing. Now, a group of researchers believe the same principles can be applied to create foundation agents, AI systems that can perform open-ended decision-making tasks in the physical world. In a new position paper, researchers at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences describe foundation agents as…
After making headlines with the announcement of Polaris, a vendor-neutral open data catalog for Apache Iceberg, Snowflake is launching new tools to help enterprises double down on the development of trusted AI-powered applications. In his second keynote of the company’s…
There’s more than one way to handle AI fine tuning, training and inference at the edge. Among the options beyond just a GPU is using a neural processing unit (NPU), from silicon vendor Kneron. At the Computex conference in Taiwan today, Kneron detailed its next…
Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, gave a keynote at the Computex trade show in Taiwan about transforming AI models with Nvidia NIM (Nvidia inference microservices) so that AI applications can be deployed within minutes rather than weeks.
He said the world’s world’s 28 million developers can now download Nvidia NIM — inference microservices that provide models as optimized containers — to deploy…

June 4, 2024
Intel has announced its Xeon 6 chip to ensure that data centers can handle the workloads needed as more companies start to deploy AI apps and models. The processor comes with two microarchitectures, an efficient core (E-core) and a performance core (P-core) and will be…
Intel reveals Lunar Lake’s architecture, showing how its flagship AI PC processor will work
June 4, 2024
Qualcomm made headlines when it was named the chipmaker for Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs. However, that hasn’t deterred Intel from innovating for this new form of computing. The company had been working on chips to power AI PCs long before Microsoft’s news. In fact, on…
Research and development (R&D) is really a chimera — the mythological creature with two distinctive heads on one body.
Researchers have strong academic backgrounds and regularly publish papers, apply for patents and work on ideas that are likely to come to fruition over the course of years. Research departments deliver long-term value, discovering the future by asking tough questions and…
