Google's DeepMind has launched WeatherNext 2, an advanced AI weather‑prediction model that delivers faster, higher‑resolution forecasts up to two weeks ahead. The new system improves tropical‑storm track predictions, offers hourly updates, and runs eight times faster than its predecessor, promising more precise decisions for industries such as energy trading. While the model still struggles with outlier rain and snow events, DeepMind says ongoing research will address these gaps as AI continues to reshape meteorology. Leia mais →

A side‑by‑side look at three leading AI accelerators—Huawei's Ascend 950 series, Nvidia's H200 (GH100 Hopper), and AMD's Radeon Instinct MI300 (Aqua Vanjaram). The comparison covers architecture, process technology, transistor counts, die size, memory type and capacity, bandwidth, compute performance across FP8, FP16, FP32 and FP64, and target scenarios such as large‑scale LLM training, inference, and high‑performance computing. Availability timelines differ, with each vendor positioning its chip for data‑center and HPC workloads. Leia mais →

Cambricon Technologies, a Beijing‑based AI chip designer, has seen its market value soar above RMB580 billion, driven by a revenue surge to RMB28.81 billion in the first half of 2025 and a net profit of RMB1.038 billion. The company’s Siyuan chips, touted to approach Nvidia’s market‑leading performance, have propelled this growth. Yet the bulk of sales come from a single, unnamed cloud provider, and the firm remains on a U.S. trade blacklist that limits access to overseas suppliers. Investors are weighing the rapid financial turnaround against customer concentration and geopolitical headwinds. Leia mais →

Huawei revealed plans to open source its UB‑Mesh interconnect, a system that combines a CLOS‑based backbone with multidimensional rack‑level meshes to streamline communication among CPUs, GPUs, memory, and networking equipment in massive AI data centers. The company claims the design can keep costs low even at scales of thousands of nodes, citing an 8,192‑node deployment and bandwidth exceeding one terabyte per second per device with sub‑microsecond latency. Huawei chief scientist Heng Liao said the protocol will be published with a free license at an upcoming conference, while industry observers note the challenge of gaining broad adoption amid existing standards and geopolitical concerns.

China has halted the sale of Nvidia's AI chips after regulators summoned major domestic firms, including Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba and Baidu, to compare their own processors with Nvidia's limited‑supply products. Officials concluded that Chinese AI chips now match or exceed the performance of the Nvidia chips allowed under U.S. export controls, prompting a consensus that domestic supply can meet demand without further Nvidia imports. Nvidia recently introduced the RTX Pro 6000D in Beijing, while regulators warned companies against purchasing Nvidia’s H20 chip, signalling a tightening of restrictions on foreign AI hardware.

Huawei announced a new AI infrastructure called SuperPoD Interconnect at its Huawei Connect conference, capable of linking up to 15,000 graphics cards, including its Ascend AI chips. The technology is positioned as a competitor to Nvidia's NVLink and aims to boost compute power for AI workloads. The launch follows a Chinese ban that prevents domestic tech firms from purchasing Nvidia hardware such as RTX Pro 600D servers. Leia mais →
