🗞️ HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY
TL;DR
Elon Musk and xAI just announced the Memphis Supercluster — “the most powerful AI training cluster in the world“, also revealing that Grok 3.0 is planned to be released in December and should be the most powerful AI in the world.
Summary
Musk tweeted that xAI just launched the "Memphis Supercluster," using 100,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, making it "the most powerful AI training cluster in the world."
The xAI founder also revealed that Grok 2.0 is done training and will be released soon.
The supercluster aims to create the "world's most powerful AI by every metric", Grok 3.0, by December 2024.
In a separate tweet yesterday, Musk also revealed that Tesla plans to have humanoid robots in "low production" for internal use next year.
What we think
Love him or hate him, the speed at which Elon and the team at xAI operate has been wild to witness. If estimates are accurate, xAI might be on track to create the most powerful AI systems in the world by year's end — solidifying its position as one of the top competitors in the space and not just another AI startup.
⚡ LATEST IN TECH AND AI
Google researchers have developed a new AI-powered weather and climate model called ‘NeuralGCM’ by combining methods of machine learning and neural networks with traditional physics-based modeling.
Apple's first foldable iPhone could arrive in 2026. It is rumored to fold horizontally, similarly to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. The phone is now in development with suppliers. Apple is still reportedly working to flatten the crease that appears when the phone is unfolded. Next year's iPhone is rumored to have a mechanical aperture that will let users achieve a depth-of-field effect.
While hundreds of millions of customers own Alexa-enabled devices, Amazon's bet that people would spend meaningful amounts of money to buy goods on its platform by talking to the voice assistant hasn't paid off. Customers mostly use Alexa to set alarms and check the weather. Amazon has lost tens of billions of dollars on its devices business. The company will launch a paid tier for Alexa as soon as this month as part of the plan to reverse these losses.
💻 DEV RESOURCES
Meta has released Llama 3.1, its biggest open-source AI model yet. The company claims it outperforms GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet on several benchmarks. The largest version has 405 billion parameters and was trained with over 16,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs. Meta is making its AI assistant available in more countries and languages and adding a feature that can generate images based on someone's likeness.
Great software engineers automate repetitive/manual labor. Most large software engineering organizations incentivize anti-automation due to their desire for predictability. Predictable work is work that could have been automated but was not automated. The more predictable and routine a developer's job is, the more they tend to slide into becoming a technician. Teams that get into predictable flows are likely ignoring a promising opportunity for automation.
Software developers are often incorrectly held responsible for bugs and outages. The people responsible for these incidents are those who put pressure on software engineers: CEOs, customers, regulators, and other parties in positions of power. Other professionals, such as anesthesiologists or structural engineers, are given the respect they deserve and thus can take responsibility for their work. People ignore software engineers, resulting in broken organizational practices.
