We walk through the solution architecture and how you can deploy it in your own environment.
The Classical Advances Needed to Make Quantum Computers Tick
Quantum computers promise to one day solve problems beyond the most powerful supercomputers imaginable. But it's often underappreciated how much classical computing it takes just to operate these machines. As qubit counts rise, innovations in this supporting infrastructure will be essential if they're to live up to their promise. To prepare for the scale of quantum computers the industry is working toward, many companies are also gearing up the classical hardware, and software, required to support them. In April, Nvidia announced new AI-based software to accelerate the classical tasks that ena
7 Ways New Engineers Can Flourish in the Age of AI

New Server Hopes to Break Through AI's "Memory Wall"
Memory is arguably the most serious constraint on modern AI large language models (LLMs). According to one influential paper, LLM token generation is an inherently memory-bound task, meaning the rate at which models output text is limited by how quickly data can be read in from memory. The severity of this bottleneck grows with model size. This creates a "memory wall" that holds back LLM inference performance. AI hardware startup Majestic Labs is taking a direct-and comprehensive-approach to solving this problem. It's developing a new AI server, Prometheus, with up to 128 terabytes of memory.

Developer's guide to Gemini Enterprise and A2UI integration
If you've built a chatbot, you know this conversation: User: "Book a table for two tomorrow at 7pm." Agent: "Okay, for what day?" User: "Tomorrow." Agent: "What time?" A date picker would have ended this in one tap. But until recently, agents had no standard way to render a date picker - or a map, or a multi-select list - inside the chat surface they live in. They could only return text or markdown for generic usage. Today, we're walking through how to fix that with A2UI, an open protocol for agent-driven user interfaces, and how to integrate an A2UI-enabled agent with Gemini Enterprise (GE) s

Finding Success in Industry as a Chip Designer
I have been an application-specific IC (ASIC) designer for almost three decades. Over that time, I've moved through the full academic trajectory, from graduate student to full professor; later, I transitioned to industry after an unsuccessful stint at entrepreneurship. When I made the switch to the private sector in 2019, I began focusing on a critically important aspect of the electronic industry: silicon intellectual property. As much as 80 percent of the physical area in today's most advanced chips is occupied by blocks that aren't made for specific products or even designed by the consumer

A collaboration of government agencies and scientists hopes to keep interspecies traffic running safely, thanks to an AI-based w
Reclaiming Social Engineering for Good
"Social engineering" sounds like something out of a conspiracy thriller, charged with totalitarian control and fringe paranoia. More mundanely, it's come to be associated with phishing and other scams, in which fraudsters manipulate people into disclosing personal information. Yet the concept is older and more benign: it is the deliberate shaping of human behavior, often at scale. It predates silicon-and became pervasive, and ungoverned, especially once its practitioners learned to hide it. Authoritarian regimes and more recently scammers and big companies have profited from it. To defend ours

Māori Text-to-Speech Model Spurns Big Tech's Values
New Zealand is a country famed for its dramatic landscapes, but its linguistic landscape is arguably just as interesting. Of its three official languages, only te reo Māori (the Māori language) could be described as indigenous. Though spoken fluently by just 4.3 percent of the population, national statistics show that about 30 percent of New Zealanders can speak more than a few words or phrases of the language. But ask ChatGPT to write te reo Māori and it will oblige, fluently answering your questions in the standardized form of the language taught in schools and broadcast on national televisi
Open-Source Software Is Starting to Help Robots Think
When a group of academics started making open-source robotics hardware, a generation of roboticists got years of their lives back. Now, the bigger challenge is getting robots to think-and that's starting to be open sourced too. The shift is still early, but companies including Hugging Face, Nvidia, and Alibaba have all made significant bets on open-source robotics in the last two years, releasing tools and models aimed at the higher-level work of getting robots to reason, decide, and act. The open source movement that accelerated other AI applications is now being applied to the problem of mak
The Future of Physical AI Isn't Smarter Robots, It's Smarter Interfaces
This sponsored article is brought to you by Wetour Robotics. A field technician on a wind turbine, harness clipped, both hands on a wrench, needs to send a command to the diagnostic device hanging at her belt. A logistics worker on a loading dock, gloves on, eyes on the pallet, needs to redirect a connected lift. A person using an assistive mobility device on a crowded street wants to nudge it forward without taking out a phone or speaking aloud. None of these moments call for a smarter robot. They call for a smarter way to be heard by the machines that already exist. The industry has been bui
Google just redesigned the search box for the first time in 25 years - here's why it matters more than you think.
For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm. At its annual I/O developer conference, Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself - the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day - transforming it from a simple keyword input into a dynamic, AI-driven conversation starter that can accept text, images, PDFs, videos, and even open Chrome tabs as inputs.

Voice AI Systems Are Vulnerable to Hidden Audio Attacks
AI-powered voice and audio tools are becoming increasingly embedded in daily life, from digital assistants to smart speakers and customer service bots. Advances in large audio-language models (LALMs), which can both analyze and generate audio, now make it possible to control devices using voice commands, transcribe meetings automatically, or identify a song playing in the background. These models are also increasingly equipped with the ability to communicate with external services and operate other applications and tools. But these tools can be "hijacked" through imperceptible sounds embedded
AI Rings on Fingers Can Interpret Sign Language
Electronic rings wirelessly connected to an AI system are capable of translating multiple sign languages into text, a new study finds. "I believe this is an important step toward making sign language translation systems more practical, lightweight, and usable in real-world environments," says Ki Jun Yu, an associate professor of electrical and electronic engineering at Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea. More than 300 different sign languages are used worldwide, and many research projects are developing translation devices for communicating with people who do not know a sign language. However,
Graphene "Tattoos" for Plants Could Form Neural Networks
A hydrated leaf is a healthy leaf. That's true for the leaves of crop plants in a farmer's field and for the leaves of trees in an area vulnerable to forest fires. But the traditional techniques to monitor leaf hydration require cutting them from their plants, which is time-consuming and cannot give live measurements. That's why many researchers are building sensors that measure a plant's health in real time. Now, researchers in Texas have developed a graphene "tattoo" that can be stuck directly onto a leaf to provide real-time moisture readings. The researchers also believe it could one day b

AI Is Starting to Build Better AI
The field of artificial intelligence was built on the premise that machines might someday improve themselves. In 1966, the English mathematician I. J. Good wrote that "an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an 'intelligence explosion,' and the intelligence of man would be left far behind." AI researchers have long seen recursive self-improvement, or RSI, as something to both desire and fear. Today, advances in AI are raising the question of whether parts of that process are already underway. RSI means many things to many people. Some u
Chatbots Need Guardrails to Prevent Delusions and Psychosis
Millions of people worldwide are turning to chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude, and a proliferating class of specialized AI companionship apps for friendship, therapy, or even romance. While some users report psychological benefits from these simulated relationships, research has also shown the relationships can reinforce or amplify delusions, particularly among users already vulnerable to psychosis. AIs have been linked to multiple suicides, including the death of a Florida teenager who had a months-long relationship with a chatbot made by a company called Character.AI. Mental-health experts and

Identifying Interactions at Scale for LLMs
--> Understanding the behavior of complex machine learning systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), is a critical challenge in modern artificial intelligence. Interpretability research aims to make the decision-making process more transparent to model builders and impacted humans, a step toward safer and more trustworthy AI. To gain a comprehensive understanding, we can analyze these systems through different lenses: feature attribution, which isolates the specific input features driving a prediction (Lundberg & Lee, 2017; Ribeiro et al., 2022); data attribution, which links model b
