    Intel patent embeds MicroLEDs in chip packaging — technology may enable embedded optical interconnects through TGVs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Intel has been granted a U.S. patent that discusses embedding MicroLEDs inside chip packaging, as TrendForce reports. The design embeds semiconductor dies fitted with MicroLEDs directly into a glass substrate and connects them using Through-Glass-Vias (TGV) to provide power and signal connections, allowing them to emit red, green, and blue (RGB) light. Intel suggests this technology could be used for diagnostic testing and to create customized light effects on the chip's surface for personalized

    US frontier AI companies warn authorities over sophisticated distillation attacks — China warns of 'countermeasures' if America tries to constrain domestic AI models (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The U.S. government and American AI developers are growing increasingly concerned about the effectiveness of so-called distillation attacks against Western Frontier AI models, as Bloomberg reports. This may be helping China and Russia develop AI models with similar capabilities, but at a fraction of the cost and compute requirements. China has publicly rejected these claims, but pledged to enact "countermeasures" if America used the pretext of these allegations to "contain" Chinese developments.

    OpenAI claims GPT-6 Astra is an ethereal 'Alien Mind' with AGI-like qualities (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    "AI is grown, more than designed," OpenAI's chief scientist, Jakub Pachocki, said in a new blog post on the company's latest GPT-6 Astra release. Titling the piece "An Alien Mind," Pachocki portrays the latest large language model as something more ethereal and harder to quantify. Jensen Huang calls it AGI, and OpenAI claims it's the best, most aligned model the company has ever released. It's safer to delegate, better at complex work tasks, and it can even beat Portal in just a few hours. Huang

    Frontier AI faces pricing reckoning as token volume explodes 25-fold — mid-tier models deliver 90% of flagship capability at one-sixth the cost (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    AI development might not be the wild west it was when ChatGPT burst onto the scene a few years ago, but it's still very much a frontier, with no clear boundaries and few yardsticks. But for AI developers on the frontier, they're pulling hard towards dual goals of ever greater intelligence and ever cheaper per-token pricing, and it's leading to a real back-and-forth of who's truly ahead, with some winners only holding the top spot for a few hours. Although Anthropic's Claude Fable and Opus models

    FCC proposes import ban on Chinese optical transceivers — blockade targets key AI interconnects as China holds 56% global market share (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The FCC is drafting a proposal that would expand its list of equipment and services covered by the Secure Networks Act to include imports of new-model optical transceivers manufactured in China, according to a TrendForce report. Although the specifics are still unknown, such as what exactly constitutes a Chinese company and what is considered a "new model," this import block could have far-reaching implications. It's likely to impact hyperscaler AI companies, which are investing heavily in optic
