This particular GPU remains the smallest RTX 3060, featuring no power connector as it relies fully on the PCIe x16 slot. Newegg Lists SRhonyra RTX 3060 Low Profile GPU for $495; Features Two Display Connectors, Blower-Style Cooler, and No Power Connector We recently saw a unique GeForce RTX 3060 GPU in a Bilibili video that had no power connectors to power it. This was a single-slot card made by a Chinese manufacturer that relies fully on the PCIe x16 slot and boasts a low-profile design that suits ultra-compact PCs that have space constraints. Looks like the card is ready to […]

Micron explores what High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) is, why it is essential, how it compares to traditional DDR, and the key challenges that demand further innovation to sustain AI’s growing demands. Micron Reveals HBM Failures Caused 17% of Meta's Llama 3 Training Interruptions as the Memory Wall Deepens As AI LLMs continue to evolve, the need for advanced memory technologies has become vital for the continuous scaling and improvement of these models. But memory is now becoming a major bottleneck that is limiting the performance of AI systems. HBM is currently the leading DRAM type used in leading AI accelerators. […]

Meta is returning to the open-weight AI model category - a subset of large language models (LLMs) that it founded but then largely abandoned in a bout of misplaced priorities - with a loud and fairly sonorous bang, courtesy of the just-released Muse Glimmer open-weight model that employs creative tricks to make sure the model fits inside a single consumer GPU, and responds to queries in a lightning-fast manner. Meta used distillation to ensure that Muse Glimmer fits inside a single consumer GPU, while a tiny companion model speeds up response times Meta has just released the Muse Glimmer, a […]

As experts have warned for the last two years, some companies — like Microsoft and now Google — are finding and patching an exponential number of bugs in their products, thanks to the use of LLMs and AI tools.

Wix-owned vibe coding platform Base44 has started rolling out its own AI model — with hopes that it will eventually outperform frontier models.

At last week's Unreal Fest in Chicago, Epic Games unveiled the integration of AI tools like Claude and Gemini into Unreal Engine 5.8 (and the upcoming Unreal Engine 6) through an MCP server. As with all things related to AI, the news received a somewhat mixed response from the development and gaming community, especially as fears of "AI slop" become rampant. In an interview with IGN, Epic Games founder, CEO, and majority shareholder Tim Sweeney admitted that there's the risk of that, but likened it to the "asset flip" of this new generation of games, asserting that low quality games […]
