itNet is paving the way for a new era of 1-bit Large Language Models (LLMs). In this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer LLM with the same
Tesla will start its inevitable reign as the top selling electric truck in the world starting this week. Joe Tegtmeyer, Gigatexas watcher, reports that Tesla is now making 900-1000 per week. The figure of 1000 per week (aka 4100 per month) is enough to outsell both the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T. The
Singapore, Singapore, March 28th, 2024, Cyberwire GoPlus Labs, the leading Web3 security infrastructure provider, has unveiled a groundbreaking report that highlights the growing, widespread use and potential of Web3 user security data to aid in risk management. The findings of the report reveal a clear and growing demand for more advanced security tools that can
Ford is cutting two thirds of the 2,100 workers at its Rouge electric Vehicle Center next week. Ford will cut 1,400 of those workers in various ways. 700 will move to the Michigan Assembly Plant and the other 700 being given the option of accepting a reassignment somewhere in Southeast Michigan or taking the $50,000
Joe Tegtmeyer performs drone flyovers of the Tesla Gigatexas factory and he reports that Tesla Cybertruck production is nearing 900-1000 per week. This is after launching deliveries five months ago in November, 2023. Tesla will likely outproduce and outsell both the Ford F150 Lightning and the combined Rivian SUV and Rivian Truck starting in April
Diamond CMOS needs symmetrical doping control like we have for semiconductor silicon and diamond n-MOS is needed. The n-channel diamond MOSFETs are demonstrated. This work will enable the development of energy-efficient and high-reliability CMOS integrated circuits for high-power electronics, integrated spintronics, and extreme sensors under harsh environments. Currently, p-channel diamond MOSFETs have been extensively developed
The mole rat lives about 37 years which is about five times longer than expected for an animal of its size and type. Researchers at the Queen Mary University of London have learned more about why the mole rat lives so long. The mole rat have fewer heart attacks. The mole rat adaptions to low
Researchers estimate that the number of captured free-floating planets in the outer solar system with mass strictly greater than that of Mars is ∼1.2 and that the number of such planets with a strict cutoff at the mass of Mercury is ∼2.4. When they instead adopt logarithmic bins centered at the Mars mass and the
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be sensitive to even lower-mass rogue planets since it will observe from space. It will have wide field of view and sharp vision which will allow us to study the objects it finds in more detail than we can do using only ground-based telescopes. In 2023, researchers estimate it
Extreme Ultraviolet lithography for computer chips have been critical to letting us efficiently get better than 14 nanometer computer chips. Metalenses are 10,000 times thinner than regular lenses. Metalenses control light properties through nanometer-scale patterns or structures on lens surfaces. With the ability to reduce the thickness of conventional lenses by a factor of 10,000,
Blackrock CEO Larry Fink pushes getting rid of 65 year old retirement age as part of Social Security Reform. The retirement funding problem is also related to depopulation. Social Security started in the US in 1935 and there werew 9 working age people for every one retired person. This is dropping to one working age
A new 20 Tesla Superconducting magnet reduces the cost per watt of a fusion reactor by a factor of almost 40. MIT worked with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a startup with over $2 billion in funding. The funders of CFS include Temasek Holdings (Singpore), the U.S. Department of Energy, Tiger Global Management, Bill Gates, Google and
