Micron's HBM3E Powers AMD Instinct MI350 GPU

Micron's HBM3E memory technology is being used in AMD's Instinct MI350 Series GPU platforms, which offer industry-leading bandwidth and lower power consumption. The platforms integrate 288GB of high-bandwidth memory capacity, enabling the efficient support of AI models with up to 520 billion parameters on a single GPU. This allows for peak theoretical performance of up to 161 PFLOPS at FP4 precision, making it suitable for large language model training, inference, and scientific simulation tasks.

AI Augments Jobs, Not Replaces Them Entirely

The UK labour market outlook suggests that many jobs will be augmented by AI rather than automated, according to an economist. Research indicates that businesses exposed to AI are experiencing faster revenue growth, but this doesn't necessarily mean the technology is directly responsible for these gains. Shawn K, a former software engineer who lost his job due to AI, now struggles financially and has resorted to driving for DoorDash, highlighting the potential economic impact of AI on knowledge workers.

AMD's ROCm Boosts Cohere's AI Development Speed

AMD has made significant strides in improving its software, including ROCm, which benefits AI enterprise startup Cohere, allowing for faster changes and new features. Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez credits AMD's advancements, saying the process of changing his company's software to run on AMD chips now takes only days instead of weeks. The partnership between AMD and OpenAI has also influenced the design of AMD's MI450 series of AI chips, with OpenAI's Sam Altman providing feedback on memory architecture and mathematical operations.

AMD Targets 20x Energy Efficiency Boost by 2030

AMD aims to increase rack-scale energy efficiency by 20x by 2030, a significant improvement from its current predictions of a 95% reduction in electricity for typical AI model training. The company's Instinct MI400 Series GPUs are expected to deliver up to 10x more performance running inference on Mixture of Experts models. AMD's market cap is $192.14 billion, lower than Nvidia's, but the company remains committed to driving AI innovation with its ROCm open software stack and expanding partnerships.

Anthropic's AI Models Coexist with Other Tools Safely

Anthropic's AI models, including Claude, can co-exist with other tools for tasks like data processing, according to Anthropic software engineer Krieger. The company is working on "safe-by-design" AI safety protections, led by professor Yoshua Bengio, who has launched a non-profit called LawZero. Anthropic aims to release its "level 4" AI safety protections soon, but no date has been set. Krieger believes the company's models are "genius-level at some very specific things" and will continue to improve in the coming year, requiring human coordination.

Apple, Google Develop AI-Powered Mobile Security Systems

AI-native platforms for mobile security use machine learning and behavioral intelligence to detect threats in real-time, without relying on cloud services. Companies like Apple and Google have developed AI-powered systems that can analyze user behavior, detect anomalies, and trigger rapid responses to prevent Trojan attacks. These systems must be built directly into the mobile app to ensure end-to-end observability and control. The author argues that AI-native defense is crucial in combating mobile banking Trojans, which are becoming increasingly common due to their ability to infect devices and bypass outdated defenses.

Biden Lifts Export Controls on Chinese Tech Firms

The US and China have ended their latest round of trade talks in London, with a deal reportedly agreed to lift some recent export controls on high-end semiconductors. However, critics argue that this could be strategic self-sabotage, as the controls were imposed to maintain America's technological advantage in key sectors like AI and advanced computing. The Trump administration had targeted Chinese firms such as Huawei with specific bans during his first term, but under President Biden, the US expanded its application to cover China as a whole. China has sought to evade these controls while the US gradually tightens them. Export controls are vital to staying ahead in the tech race, but doubts remain about their effectiveness. The Biden administration's approach has been imperfect, and if Trump's deal with Xi Jinping entails an agreement not to impose new export controls, it will erode America's ability to keep existing restrictions effective.
