OpenAI and NORAD are bringing new magic to “NORAD Tracks Santa” with three ChatGPT holiday tools that let families create festive elves, toy coloring pages, and custom Christmas stories.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) stacks are evolving from many distinct models to a unified, end-to-end architecture that executes driving actions directly from sensor data. This transition to using larger models is drastically increasing the demand for high-quality, physically based sensor data for training, testing and validation. To help accelerate the development of next-generation AV architectures, NVIDIA today released NVIDIA Cosmos Predict-2 — a new world foundation model with improved future world state prediction capabilities for high-quality synthetic data generation […]
Introduction Language models have existed for decades — long before today’s so-called “LLMs.” In the 1990s, IBM’s alignment models and smoothed n-gram systems trained on hundreds of millions of words set performance records. By the 2000s, the internet’s growth enabled “web as corpus” datasets, pushing statistical models to dominate natural language processing (NLP). Yet, many believe language modelling began in 2017 with Google’s Transformer architecture and BERT. In reality, Transformers revolutionized scalability but were just one step in a much […]
Manufacturing better batteries, faster electronics, and more effective pharmaceuticals depends on the discovery of new materials and the verification of their quality. Artificial intelligence is helping with the former, with tools that comb through catalogs of materials to quickly tag promising candidates. But once a material is made, verifying its quality still involves scanning it with specialized instruments to validate its performance — an expensive and time-consuming step that can hold up the development and distribution of new […]
Accenture and OpenAI are collaborating to help enterprises bring agentic AI capabilities into the core of their business and unlock new levels of growth.
Strange as it may sound, large language models (LLMs) can be leveraged for data analysis tasks, including specific scenarios such as time series analysis.
Ernest Opoku knew he wanted to become a scientist when he was a little boy. But his school in Dadease, a small town in Ghana, offered no elective science courses — so Opoku created one for himself. Even though they had neither a dedicated science classroom nor a lab, Opoku convinced his principal to bring in someone to teach him and five other friends he had convinced to join him. With just a chalkboard and some imagination, they […]
Every year, venomous snakes kill over 100,000 people and leave 300,000 more with devastating injuries — amputations, paralysis and permanent disabilities. The victims are often farmers, herders and children in rural communities across sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. For them, a snakebite isn’t just a medical crisis — it’s an economic catastrophe. Treatment hasn’t changed in over a century. Antivenoms — derived from the blood of immunized animals — are expensive, difficult to manufacture and often […]
