LLMs Add Safety Risks To Physical AI


Humanoid robots with artificial general intelligence are some years from entering our daily life, but application-specific robotics are already here. From Amazon’s fleet of fulfillment center robots to robotic surgical systems in operating rooms, search and rescue robo-dogs, autonomous drones, and last-mile delivery robots, all the way down to the humble Roomba vacuum cleaner, physical AI sys... » read more

Why Openness Matters For AI At The Edge


AI continues to migrate towards the edge and is no longer confined to the data center. Edge AI brings several key advantages, delivering intelligence closer to where data is generated, improving latency for critical functions, ensuring privacy by limiting transmitted data, and reducing energy consumption for AI. Edge AI encompasses systems performing AI inferencing directly where data is cre... » read more

Small Vs. Large Language Models


The proliferation of edge AI will require fundamental changes in language models and chip architectures to make inferencing and learning outside of AI data centers a viable option. The initial goal for small language models (SLMs) — roughly 10 billion parameters or less, compared to more than a trillion parameters in the biggest LLMs — was to leverage them exclusively for inferencing. In... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review


The Open Compute Project (OCP) Summit kicked off this week in San Jose, dominated by open standards, massive scaling of AI infrastructure, chiplet architectures, and energy-efficiency. Among the highlights: An initiative to standardize data center infrastructure and advance Ethernet for AI. New contributions to OCP's Open Chiplet Economy ecosystem, including Arm's new Foundation Chiplet... » read more

The Rise Of Scalable AI SoCs For The IoT Device Edge


The landscape of computing is undergoing a profound transformation, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) at its forefront. This shift is particularly evident at the device edge, where traditional System-on-Chip (SoCs) implementations are being reimagined to effectively support demanding AI and machine learning (ML) workloads. This evolution necessitates the development of a new class of AI-capa... » read more

Today’s Screen Culture Puts Higher Pressure On Display Chips


Just as cathode ray tube technology has been relegated to specialist industrial and medical settings, OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is overtaking LCD (liquid crystal display) in some applications due to its superior image quality and contrast. But OLED is not a one-size-fits-all. An array of new technologies is being developed to meet consumer demand for better, brighter screens with h... » read more

How Grinn And Synaptics Are Accelerating Edge AI Adoption And Innovation


From smart cities to industrial automation, organizations are rethinking how and where data is processed. The answer, increasingly, is at the Edge—where devices can analyze information in real time without sending it to the cloud. This approach improves responsiveness, enhances security, and reduces reliance on network connectivity. Recognizing this shift, Grinn Global and Synaptics have p... » read more

New Antennas And Advanced ICs Needed For 6G


6G is expected to bring data speeds that enable highly integrated and responsive technology in smartphones, homes, cities, and autonomous vehicles, but realizing that goal will require a lot more work. There will be many more antennas everywhere, embedded in infrastructure around town, in base stations, edge-devices, and everything in between. They will be sending and receiving many more sig... » read more

Artificial Intelligence Of Things (AIoT) Guide


For organizations exploring connected technologies, the conversation around the Internet of Things (IoT) has shifted. They are looking to make devices smarter, responsive and capable of operating with greater insight. The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) combines the sensor-driven, networked structure of IoT with the decision-making power of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge t... » read more

6G Line-Of-Sight Repeaters, Dots, And Reflections


6G will open the door to ultra-reliable, low-latency communications, extended broadband, and machine communications, but its rapid signal attenuation places some sharp limits on where and how it can be used, and requires some expensive options to overcome those limitations. Applications include lifelike virtual reality for home and work use, highly interactive smart homes and cities, and aut... » read more
