​Pharmaceutical and life sciences enterprises have proven AI can improve individual stages of discovery, development, and manufacturing — but the industry’s legacy IT infrastructure was never built for frontier-scale compute. This is a structural, industry-wide constraint. The economics make the stakes clear. According to the National Institutes of Health, a discovery can take almost 15 […]

But by keeping these limits in mind, and planning for them, we can effectively use these small, local models for the following broad operations scenarios.

The impact of AI on software development has been both profound and ever-evolving. Last year, I wrote about AMD’s plans to use AI not just for generating new lines of code, but also for other steps in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), such as triaging problems, debugging code, and testing the software. At the time, we were hoping for a 25 percent productivity boost from AI use over the course of two or three years. But with each new release, the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) improve dramatically—accelerating software development, increasing the quality of AI-generated code, and fundamentally reshaping how software is engineered. Now, just one year later, we have surpassed our productivity target, achieving a 30 percent overall productivity boost through AI. On top…

The new frontier of AI is developing capable autonomous researchers

Artificial intelligence startup Palona AI, which is building an intelligence operating layer for physical businesses, is ready to show what it can do after closing on a $20 million round of early-stage funding today. The Series A round, which included converted simple agreements for future equity, was led by Ardenwood Ventures and saw participation from […] The post Palona raises $20M in funding to bring AI automation to brick-and-mortar businesses appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Representing a significant milestone in AI-assisted mathematical research, a team at Axiom Math has automatically verified the proof of a theorem relating to prime numbers—colloquially referred to as the “246 theorem”—for the first time using the company’s AI system AxiomProver. In formal verification, mathematicians task a computer with checking a machine-readable version of a proof. The process is not a 100 percent guarantee that the proof is correct, as a recent demonstration showed, exposing how a bug in the method could be exploited to accept a false, AI-generated proof. Still, the computational method is as close to a rubber stamp as you can get. This particular verification formalizes an important advance in number theory. Beyond this particular proof, it demonstrates how automated…

AI factories are the defining infrastructure of the AI era—where compute transforms energy and data into intelligence that powers every business, industry and country. In the AI economy, compute is revenue. AI factories require a full stack of critical resources: advanced chips, packaging, memory, and networking – as well as land, power and shell. Just […]

Here's how I saved hundreds on a new phone and watch in just a few seconds.

Hexaware Technologies Ltd. today introduced the Zero Friction Enterprise, a delivery framework that folds the information technology services company’s modernization, cybersecurity, engineering, operations, quality and enterprise software practices into a single offering aimed at the drag that builds up inside large technology estates. The argument behind it is one of accumulation. Aging code, security exposure, […] The post Hexaware bundles its AI services under a Zero Friction Enterprise framework appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

Hi-tech cameras orbiting Earth and on the ground, along with AI, help firefighters extinguish blazes before they spread The fires in Spokane, Washington, this summer are the latest reminder that when a wildfire is detected can be just as important as where it starts. A blaze found within minutes can often be contained before it spreads. Wait too long, and a small spark can become a major disaster. A new effort to shorten that timeline began in July when a SpaceX rocket carried the first three FireSat satellites into orbit. The trio is the first part of a planned network of 50 satellites built solely to spot wildfires while they are still small enough to stop. Continue reading...
