Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts companies will become AI factories that generate tokens.Tokens are numerical representations used by AI models to process and understand data.Here's what the Nvidia CEO means by an "AI factory."In his keynote at Nvidia's AI conference this week, CEO Jensen Huang predicted every company will become an "AI factory."It's a big…

Chinchillas are cuddly and cute.Chinchilla is also an established way to build huge AI models using mountains of data.There's at least $3 trillion riding on whether this approach continues or not.About five years ago, researchers at OpenAI discovered that combining more computing power and more data in ever-larger training runs produces better AI models.A couple of…

DeepSeek's powerful, cheap AI models have taken the tech world by storm.Altman said OpenAI will embrace one of DeepSeek's popular approaches.The CEO said OpenAI has "been on the wrong side of history" when it comes to model weights.When rivals take a different approach and succeed, it sometimes pays to change course. This is what Sam…

Associated Press Yoshua Bengio also earned the "godfather of AI" nickname after winning the Turing Award with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun.Bengio's research primarily focuses on artificial neural networks, deep learning, and…

Amazon announced another $4 billion investment in AI startup Anthropic on Friday.The deal includes an agreement for Anthropic to use Amazon's AI chips more. The cloud giant is trying to challenge Nvidia and get developers to switch away from those GPUs.Amazon's Trainium chips are about to get a lot busier. At least that's what Amazon…

Jensen Huang made a bold prediction that computing power will increase a millionfold in a decade.So-called "scaling laws" observe that AI models get smarter with more computing power. Reports of slowdowns in AI model improvements have cast doubt on scaling laws. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has said that the computing power driving advances in generative…
