The creators of the open source project vLLM have announced that they transitioned the popular tool into a VC-backed startup, Inferact, raising $150 million in seed funding at an $800 million ...
Google researchers have warned that large language model (LLM) inference is hitting a wall amid fundamental problems with memory and networking problems, not compute. In a paper authored by ...
Abstract: This article introduces a scalable distributed probabilistic inference algorithm for intelligent sensor networks, tackling challenges of continuous variables, intractable posteriors, and ...
The CNCF is bullish about cloud-native computing working hand in glove with AI. AI inference is the technology that will make hundreds of billions for cloud-native companies. New kinds of AI-first ...
Over the past several years, the lion’s share of artificial intelligence (AI) investment has poured into training infrastructure—massive clusters designed to crunch through oceans of data, where speed ...
Merck & Co. has doubled down on its partnership with Variational AI, striking a deal worth up to $349 million to collaborate on small molecule candidates against two targets. Variational disclosed a ...
If the hyperscalers are masters of anything, it is driving scale up and driving costs down so that a new type of information technology can be cheap enough so it can be widely deployed. The ...
Abstract: This paper considers a joint scattering environment sensing and data recovery problem in an uplink integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system. To facilitate joint scatterers ...
From 2003 to 2023, the share of Americans who read for pleasure fell 40 percent, a sharp decline that is part of a continuing downward trend. By Maggie Astor Any reader knows the unique delight of ...
You’re reading Open Questions, Joshua Rothman’s weekly column exploring what it means to be human. What do you read, and why? A few decades ago, these weren’t urgent questions. Reading was an ...
AI inference uses trained data to enable models to make deductions and decisions. Effective AI inference results in quicker and more accurate model responses. Evaluating AI inference focuses on speed, ...
