As researchers warn that artificial intelligence could pose catastrophic risks, some of the pioneers who helped develop the technology are weighing in with additional warnings on the dangers of unfettered advances in capability. A series of stark AI safety warnings has emerged ov

The Ripple Effect of Data Center Project Cancellations and Delays Canceled data center projects leave utilities with stranded infrastructure costs that are often passed on to ratepayers, while capacity reassignment can take months or years to resolve. When a large data center pro

One key use case of the Compute Express Link (CXL) standard is supporting the attachment of various forms of DRAM and other memory over the PCIe-based bus. Thanks to CXL’s high-level cache coherency capabilities, the standard allows devices to not only reach into the host’s DRAM,

How can a 30B-parameter model activate only 3B parameters per token, and still use the capacity of the larger model? Nemotron 3.5 Lightning illustrates the answer: It uses a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture that selects only a subset of its parameters for each token. There a

Power is a defining constraint for AI factories. As AI workloads demand a full compute platform to serve them, each component of that platform must maximize output within the factory’s limited power budget. This makes performance per watt—rather than raw, unnormalized throughput—

For operators of large-scale AI factories, maximizing continuous output is essential for productivity. In massive-scale AI training, every GPU in the cluster must synchronize gradients across thousands of collective operations per second. Similarly, during inference, unplanned do
