AI is learning a 'dark art' that even expert engineers struggle with News
Designing radio-frequency chips is so reliant on hard-won physical intuition that engineers call it a dark art - and now AI is starting to do it, a sign the automation frontier is moving into deep specialist craft.
Training vs inference: the two very different jobs inside every AI Lesson
Why building an AI model and using it are separate worlds with separate costs, and why that split explains custom chips, model prices, and where the real money in AI actually goes.
OpenAI designs its own chip to run its models News
With Broadcom, OpenAI unveiled a custom chip built for one job: serving its AI models cheaply.
A robot that runs its own experiments — and sometimes fails when it matters News
NVIDIA researchers gave AI coding agents full control of a physical robot lab — including automated reset and vision-based success checking. One agent inserted a graphics card into a motherboard. The headline success rate is real but requires a close read.
