Nvidia Unveils New Generative AI Supercomputer According to Nvidia, the DGX GH200 has nearly 500 times more memory than its predecessor, the Nvidia DGX A100, which launched in 2020. The DGX GH200 uses Nvidia’s NVLink technology to combine 256 GH200 superchips, each with an ARM-based Grace CPU and H100 Tensor Core GPUs delivering up to 1 exa with 144 terabytes of shared memory. Delivers flops (equivalent to 1 quintillion floating point operations per second) performance. The NVLink switch system allows all of the DGX GH200’s GPUs to work together as one, delivering 48x the bandwidth of the previous generation. AI poses ‘extinction’ risk, experts warn It has not been. The statement, signed by dozens of experts, including Sam Altman of OpenAI, which developed the ChatGPT bot, said that tackling risks with AI would be “alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” It should be a global priority,” he said. Dozens of academics and experts from companies including Google and Microsoft signed the latest letter. The letter comes two months after billionaire Elon Musk and others called for a moratorium on developing such technology until proven safe. Researchers at MIT are developing small language models that are more efficient than large language models. Self-learning language models can learn from their own predictions without using annotated training data. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a small, self-learning language model that outperforms large language models. CSAIL’s Simple Pseudo-Label Editing (SimPLE) model’s algorithm allows it to learn from its own predictions, eliminating the need to use annotated training data. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Plans Global AI Oversight Agency: Report Among ideas being considered in his Downing Street is a global AI modeled after the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) It involves establishing an authority in London. The Times reports that Sunak plans to discuss ways to cooperate on AI surveillance when he meets with US President Joe Biden at the White House next week. British ministers told the newspaper that the UK would be “the best place” in the world to set up new institutions, as many big companies already have a strong presence. Plans are in the early stages, but if Sunak pushes forward, the UK government could aim to hire people quickly to get the agency up and running.
