Meet Transformers: The Google Breakthrough that Rewrote AI's Roadmap
For all the talk about AI these days, you may not know that it was a 2017 Google research paper that kickstarted modern generative AI by introducing the Transformer, a groundbreaking model that reshaped language processing.
AMD accidentally confirms Radeon RX 8600 and 8800 GPUs are also coming
Something to look forward to: Following months of rumors, AMD has stopped just short of confirming plans to launch two Radeon RX 8000 graphics cards early next year. While the company hasn't officially named the GPUs, recent firmware code and comments from AMD leave little doubt of an impending CES announcement.

Resting drunk face
In brief: Glassy eyes, drooping eyelids, a slack jaw: these are all signs that someone might have had one drink too many. It's often obvious when someone is drunk just by looking at their face, and interior vehicle cameras could eventually use these tell-tale signs to help prevent drink-driving incidents.

AMD approached to make world's fastest AI supercomputer powered by 1.2 million GPU
Forward-looking: It's no secret that Nvidia has been the dominant GPU supplier to data centers, but now there is a very real possibility that AMD might become a serious contender in this market as demand grows. AMD was recently approached by a client asking to create an AI training cluster consisting of a staggering 1.2 million GPUs. That would potentially make it 30x more powerful than Frontier, the current fastest supercomputer. AMD supplied less than 2% of data center GPUs in 2023.
