Nvidia is Changing the World

๐จ Nvidia is ushering in a new era of generative AI with its groundbreaking Blackwell computing platform, showcased at their annual GTC conference in San Jose.
This innovative platform, named in honor of the renowned mathematician David Harold Blackwell, is set to revolutionize the way businesses harness the power of AI. Watch Here
The key promise of Blackwell is its ability to deploy massive, trillion-parameter language models in real-time, achieving this with a staggering 25-fold reduction in both cost and energy. โก๏ธ
๐ Nvidia also introduced tools for autonomous vehicles and the Nvidia NIM platform. NIM simplifies AI model deployment, supporting a range of sources and platforms.
Nvidia's Leap into Humanoid Robotics ๐ฆพ
The company is also pushing into the humanoid robotics field with Project GR00T, a platform aiming to be a foundational model for humanoid robots. ๐ค
Project GR00T is designed as a versatile AI base for humanoid robots, catering to major players like 1X Technologies and Boston Dynamics, among others.
Key players like Agility Robotics and Sanctuary AI have voiced support, seeing humanoids like Digit as game-changers for labor and daily life. ๐ท
๐ In addition to GR00T, Nvidia announced Isaac Manipulator and Isaac Perceptor. These initiatives will help Nvidia to lead in both humanoid and mobile robotics, from advanced robotic arms to vision processing technology.
Grok is Now Open Source

๐ป Exciting News Folks: xAI has released the base code for its Grok AI model on GitHub. Though it's a hefty 314 billion parameter Mixture-of-Expert model, training code is notably absent.
๐พ Grok 1, the model, is described as not application-specific and runs on a mysterious "custom" stack. Licensed under Apache 2.0, it's fair game for commercial projects.

Meet The First Telepathic Human

๐ง In a futuristic twist reminiscent of sci-fi movies, Neuralink has turned what once seemed like fantasy into reality.
Just a year after getting the green light for human trials, Neuralink showcased an extraordinary feat: a paralyzed patient, 29 yo Noland Arbaugh, controlled a computer and played chess using nothing but his thoughts! โ๏ธ
This groundbreaking event, playfully likened to "The Force" from Star Wars, marks a significant leap in brain-computer interface technology. ๐ฅ๏ธ
Meet The Apptronik Robot

๐ค Robo-Revolution: Pilot season is in full swing in humanoid robotics. Amazon kicked things off with Agilityโs Digit, and Figure's cozying up with BMW. Now, Apptronik's joining the party, pairing up with Mercedes-Benz. ๐๏ธ
๐งโ๐ณ They're cooking up plans to jazz up Mercedes' manufacturing with some high-tech robot help, though they're keeping the juicy details under wraps.
But the real deal will be if Mercedes goes all-in post-pilot. Thatโs when Apptronik (and the robot world) really hit the jackpot. ๐๏ธ
