"In early March, four Chinese engineers flew to Malaysia from Beijing, each carrying a suitcase packed with 15 hard drives. The drives contained 80 terabytes of spreadsheets, images and video clips for training an artificial-intelligence model.

At a Malaysian data center, the engineers’ employer had rented about 300 servers containing advanced Nvidia chips. The engineers fed the data into the servers, planning to build the AI model and bring it back home.

Since 2022, the U.S. has tightened the noose around the sale of high-end AI chips and other technology to China over national-security concerns. Yet Chinese companies have made advances using workarounds.

In some cases, Chinese AI developers have been able to substitute domestic chips for the American ones. Another workaround is to smuggle AI hardware into China through third countries. But people in the industry say that has become more difficult in recent months, in part because of U.S. pressure.

That is pushing Chinese companies to try a further option: bringing their data outside China so they can use American AI chips in places such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East."

Interesting take from an #Nvidia engineer I met at #ISC25: "Do you need IEEE-754 compliant #FP64, or do you need digits? Digits we can get you through FP64 emulation."

Not sure what to make of that. Things were an absolute mess before the IEEE-754 standard, and I wouldn't want to ever go back to that. No standards means you cannot at all port software between hardware architectures even from within the same vendor. Having to re-architect software for each and every new chip is not gonna happen.

Polski model językowy #AI #Bielik będzie dostępny w genialnym #Perplexity. #Nvidia i twórcy Bielika podpisały też list intencyjny dot. współpracy. Jesteśmy w końcu świadkiem sukcesu polskiego modelu językowego który został stworzony z myślą o przetwarzaniu i generowaniu tekstu w języku polskim.

Wielki krok dla polskiego AI. ...

Clara #Chappaz, ministre du Numérique et titulaire de 320 000 euros d’actions… dans le secteur du numérique
liberation.fr/checknews/clara-

Ah, ah ah ! La ministre du numérique, une millionnaire de 36 ans, a des actions chez #Microsoft, #Google, #Amazon, #NVIDIA ... et elle a oublié de déclarer celles qu'elles a achetées - en plus - depuis qu'elle est ministre !

Mais non, il n'y a pas de conflit d'intérêt ! Ce gouvernement ne va certainement pas continuer à augmenter ses commandes publiques aux Gafam !

Ces gens se croient vraiment tout permis.
