You can’t talk about generative AI software like ChatGPT without thinking of Nvidia, which is one of the big winners of the early days of the genAI revolution. But Nvidia is best known so far for providing the chips that companies like OpenAI need to process all of their complex generative AI functions. Fast-forward to early October 2024, and Nvidia stunned the AI world by announcing NVLM 1.0, a family of large multimodal language models that can perform at least as well as ChatGPT’s GPT-4o model. Before you get too excited about Nvidia’s potential consumer-facing NVLM product, you should know the company is choosing a different avenue to show its genAI strength. Rather than releasing a direct rival to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, it’s making the model weights publicly available so others can use NVLM to develop their own AI apps and systems. Continue reading... The post Nvidia stunned the world with a ChatGPT rival that’s as good as GPT-4o appeared first on BGR.

That was a painful three days of ICANN claiming (erroneously) that I was previously unverified but recently verified and to wait it out for 48 hours. Almost 72 hours later, I still have no idea why the verification process went awry in the first place, but our long History Blog nightmare is over. Please hold for the return of regular programming.

For the second time in the past eight years, astronomers examining stars in the Milky Way close to Earth discovered a planet orbiting one of these celestial objects. The first such discovery took place in 2016, when astronomers identified an exoplanet (the name for any planet beyond our solar system) orbiting the star Proxima Centauri in the 4.2-light-years-distant Alpha Centauri solar system. The latest discovery was confirmed earlier this year, when professional stargazers positively identified a small-sized planet circling a lone solar traveler known as Barnard’s star, a red dwarf that can be found 5.96 light-years from Earth. This planet was found by researchers affiliated with the Europe Southern Observatory (ESO), using a Very Large Telescope (VLT) array installed by the ESO on the summit of Cerro Paranal mountain in the Atacama Desert region of northern Chile. This extremely sensitive and powerful array of four interconnected telescopes includes an instrument known as the Echelle Spectrograph for Rocky Exoplanet and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO), which can detect tiny gravitational wobbles in the orbit of a faraway star caused by another celestial body orbiting around it. The newly discovered planet caused these wobbles in the motion of Barnard’s star, and further analysis of the orbital path of this planet over a five-year period verified its true identity.
