Siemens Digital has brought out an agentic toolkit, which brings agentic AI workflows to its Questa One verification software to accelerate creation, verification planning, execution, debugging and closure. The toolkit aims to move verification and design from isolated tool interactions into intelligent, domain-scoped multi-step, framework-agnostic workflows powered by agentic AI – autonomous systems operating within the verification domain under customer-defined ...

Yesterday OpenAI said London would be its largest research hub outside the US. “We are excited to establish London as a major research hub for OpenAI, building on the leading work our London team is already doing to support our latest breakthroughs,” said Mark Chen (pictured), OpenAI’s chief research officer,  “the UK brings together world class talent and leading scientific ...

Nvidia Q4 profit of $43bn was up 94% from $22.1bn in Q4 2024 on sales of $68.1bn up 73% from $39.3bn in Q4 2024. Gross margin was 75% up from 73% in Q4 2024. Datacentre sales of $62.3bn accounted for 91.4% of the quarter’s sales. Nvidia expects $78bn in revenue in the current quarter at a margin of 75%. “The ...

Meta has agreed to spend $60bn on 6GW of AMD Instinct GPUs in the next five years, starting in H2, with 1GW of AMD’s MI450 processor. “Each gigawatt of compute is worth double-digit billions,” said AMD CEO Lisa Su (pictured). Meta gets a warrant for up to 160 million AMD shares – representing about 10% of AMD – which delivers ...

Rutronik is introducing a high-performance COM Express R3.1 Type 6 module from ADLINK for edge AI computing, the cExpress-R8. cExpress-R8 Powered by the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 Series, the module delivers up to 40 TOPS AI inference (CPU, GPU and NPU) performance, highlights the distributor. Rutronik writes: “Combining high compute power, AI acceleration, extensive I/O connectivity and a compact form ...

Adding agentic AI to the familiar chatbot-type generative AI is a major step, Toby Rogers tells Raspberry Pi users. “OpenClaw takes the same generative AI capabilities and adds the missing piece: action,” writes Rogers, “Instead of just generating text, an AI agent can use tools, run commands, interact with APIs, manage workflows, and carry out tasks on your behalf.” You ...

Taalas of Toronto, a two year-old startup, has raised $219 million to make customised chips to run any AI model. The company claims its approach can speed up inference performance by 1000x over general purpose AI chips . CEO is Tenstorrent co-founder Ljubisa Bajic. Investors include Quiet Capital, Fidelity and Pierre Lamond. Taalas’ first chip calked HC1 (pictured) achieves over  ...

By transforming performance data into actionable insights through edge processing, sports tracking solutions will help athletes, coaches and teams reach their full potential, says Thomas Søderholm. In today’s world of sport, the difference between winning and losing can come down to the finest of margins. Results are routinely decided by milliseconds, millimetres or blink-and-you-missed-it moments. Yet even precise metrics such ...

Autonomous systems are moving beyond simple, pre-programmed tasks, enabled by advances in AI models and processing, says Sophie Yang. From logistics to manufacturing and from healthcare to smart buildings applications, machines are expected not just to follow instructions, but to adapt, perceive and make decisions in highly dynamic environments. A strong example of this physical AI is the rise of ...

Securing artificial general intelligence means protecting the future of intelligence itself, urges Sesi Bommana. In the race to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), most of the focus has been on scaling: building larger models, utilising more data and deploying bigger clusters. As capabilities grow, another critical question arises: what if someone steals the AGI model? Unlike traditional software breaches or ...
