This post is co-written with Vikram Bansal from Tata Power, and Gaurav Kankaria, Omkar Dhavalikar from Oneture. The global adoption of solar energy is rapidly increasing as organizations and individuals transition to renewable energy sources. India is on the brink of a solar energy revolution, with a national goal to empower 10 million households with […]

Media and entertainment, advertising, education, and enterprise training content combines visual, audio, and motion elements to tell stories and convey information, making it far more complex than text where individual words have clear meanings. This creates unique challenges for AI systems that need to understand video content. Video content is multidimensional, combining visual elements (scenes,

As OpenAI scrambles to improve ChatGPT, it’s ditching a feature in its free tier that contributed to last summer’s user revolt.

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But CAD software requires extensive expertise to master, and many tools incorporate such a high level of detail they don’t lend themselves to brainstorming or rapid prototyping. In an effort to make design faster and more

Today, out of an estimated 1 trillion species on Earth, 99.999 percent are considered microbial — bacteria, archaea, viruses, and single-celled eukaryotes. For much of our planet’s history, microbes ruled the Earth, able to live and thrive in the most extreme of environments. Researchers have only just begun in the last few decades to contend

What if there were a way to solve one of the most significant obstacles to the use of nuclear energy — the disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW)? Dauren Sarsenbayev, a third-year doctoral student at the MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE), is addressing the challenge as part of his research. Sarsenbayev focuses on

Foundation model training has reached an inflection point where traditional checkpoint-based recovery methods are becoming a bottleneck to efficiency and cost-effectiveness. As models grow to trillions of parameters and training clusters expand to thousands of AI accelerators, even minor disruptions can result in significant costs and delays. In this post, we introduce checkpointless training on
