Intel Takes Aim at Nvidia with New Gaudi 3 AI Chip 🔥
Source: Intel
Intel has officially unveiled its latest AI accelerator, the Gaudi 3, at the Vision 2024 conference. This new chip is positioned as a strong competitor to Nvidia's H100 and H200 GPUs, offering significant performance improvements and cost advantages.
Details:
Gaudi 3 is expected to reduce training time by around 50% compared to the Nvidia H100.
In terms of inference throughput, Gaudi 3 is projected to outperform the H100 and H200 GPUs by approximately 50% and 30% on average, depending on the specific model.
The standard Gaudi 3 features 96MB of on-chip SRAM cache, 128GB of HBM2e memory, and offers double the FP8 and quadruple the BF16 processing power over its predecessor, as well as increased network and memory bandwidth.
The company claims the Gaudi Accelerator will be significantly cheaper than the H100, and it even introduced new customers and partners for the new AI chip, including Airtel, Bosch, IBM, NAVER, and SAP.
AI RESEARCH
AI Learns to Sway Humans by Watching a Cooperative Cooking Game
Source: University of California, Berkeley
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, presented a study that reveals that an AI system can learn how to influence a human collaborator simply by watching human interactions.
Details:
The researchers used a video game called "Overcooked," where two chefs work together to prepare and serve meals, earning points in the process.
They first collected data from pairs of people playing the game, then trained AIs using offline reinforcement learning (RL)
In a modified version of the game, the AI, but not the human, was aware that the duo would earn a bonus if the human served the soup. Demonstrating its ability to influence human behavior to maximize the team's points, the AI strategically placed a dish on the counter near the human, prompting them to deliver the soup.
In other modified versions, the AI continued to show its capability to influence how humans played the game, such as repeatedly blocking the onions until the human eventually left them alone.
This research showcases the potential of AI systems to learn from observing human interactions and then apply that knowledge to guide and influence human behavior in collaborative tasks.
This approach could be valuable in future scenarios where humans and AI partners work together in various domains.

Microsoft has pledged a staggering $2.9 billion investment to expand the Japan's AI and cloud computing capabilities. This initiative will double Microsoft's hyperscale cloud and AI infrastructure, train over 3 million people in cutting-edge AI skills, establish the first Microsoft Research Asia lab in Japan, and deepen cybersecurity collaboration with the government.
Google has clarified its AI training practices, stating that it only utilizes "publicly available" Google Docs. However, the company notes that even documents shared with "anyone with a link" are considered private unless that link is posted online, where Google's web crawler can discover and incorporate the content into its AI models.
Google Cloud and the German healthcare company Bayer have announced a partnership to develop an AI-powered platform aimed at assisting radiologists. The platform leverages generative AI to identify anomalies within medical images and provide relevant patient information, enabling radiologists to diagnose patients and manage cases more efficiently.
OpenAI has announced significant upgrades to the GPT-4 Turbo model, which will soon be integrated into ChatGPT. The company states that the model is now more intelligent and multimodal.
In his annual shareholder letter, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon asserted that AI could have a transformative impact on humanity, comparing it to the groundbreaking innovations of the printing press, electricity, and computers.
