Microsoft develops a Hyper-Efficient AI that runs on CPUs

Hey All, 👋 Did you know that one of Einstein’s dreams has been fulfilled today? Yes, Einstein has always dreamed of a single theory that correlates with the fact that all the forces in nature are somewhat interrelated, like those are different faces of the same coin. So, a team of researchers has developed a new theory that combines gravity and electromagnetism into a single, unified explanation. This theory uses Weyl geometry, a theory once dismissed.

It shows that gravity and electromagnetism might come from the shape and twists of space-time itself. In simple terms, the researchers suggest that electric and magnetic fields, as well as electric charge, are not separate things but are created by the way spacetime bends and compresses. Read More

Microsoft researchers say they’ve developed a hyper-efficient AI that runs on CPUs

Microsoft researchers claim they’ve developed the most efficient AI model, a “bitnet”. It’s called BitNet b1.58 2B4T. It is openly available in Hugging Face under the MIT license and can run on CPUs, including Apple M2. BitNet b1.58 2B4T, as its name suggests, has 2 billion parameters and competes with similar models out there. According to researchers’ testing, the model surpasses Meta’s Llama 3.21B, Google’s Gemma 3 1B, and Alibaba’s Qwen 2.5 1.5B on benchmarks including GSM8K (a collection of grade-school-level math problems) and PIQA (which tests physical commonsense reasoning skills). But at present, it has a few limitations. Read More

Blue Origin was ‘FAKED’ - People shocked by this suspicious detail

Blue Origin’s space flight safely landed back on Earth without a problem. The capsule carried Katy Perry, Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and other passengers. In the video of their arrival, a detail shocked people and made them say, ‘This is Fake’. After landing safely, Jeff Bezos, with a wrench-like tool, went to open the door. But when looking at the video accurately, we can see that the door has already been opened from the inside, and then a woman standing outside closed the door, and then, after some time, Bezos opened the door with the tool.

This detail made people wonder if all these were faked. Also, why is the door opening

a big deal? Because a rocket that has a pressurized cabin wouldn’t allow a door to be opened from the inside. The door would need a team of technicians to open from the outside. Read More

NVIDIA, in between of the US-China trade war, lost $5.5 billion

Nvidia said it will take a $5.5 billion financial hit after Washington placed fresh restrictions on the export of its H20 artificial intelligence chips to China, in the latest escalation of a growing battle for AI dominance. The H20 chip, released last year, was purposely made to accommodate stringent US export controls to China and allowed Nvidia to continue selling to the country. The model has less computing power than the more powerful H100 AI chip, which has already been banned for sale to China. Read More
