A supercomputer, a key component for AI machine learning, has officially begun operations in Indonesia as part of a digital partnership between South Korea and ASEAN nations. The 4.2 petaflops infrastructure aims to boost AI capabilities in the region, with plans for training and joint research.
Portugal, with a 7.1% chance according to an Opta supercomputer, is a serious contender for their first World Cup, boasting a strong midfield and an evolving tactical approach under Roberto Martínez, despite heavy focus on Cristiano Ronaldo.
SpaceX's impending IPO faces scrutiny over xAI's data centers in Memphis, TN, and Southaven, MS. Community groups cite pollution from unpermitted gas turbines, health risks, and paused water treatment facilities, demanding accountability despite significant tax revenue.
Opta's supercomputer simulation predicts Spain as the most likely winner of the upcoming 48-team World Cup, with France, England, and Argentina also strong contenders. Previous champions have a combined 64.1% chance of winning.
The Opta supercomputer projects England's potential path to the World Cup final, simulating a route through DR Congo, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and potentially Spain, with England winning the tournament in 11.2% of simulations.
A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction halting the Trump administration's plan to transfer control of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's (NCAR) supercomputing center. The court found the government's actions arbitrary and capricious, violating the Administrative Procedures Act.
A new study proposes China's first framework for identifying critical technologies for export restrictions, suggesting 63 sensitive or globally competitive technologies may warrant controls as China shifts from being a target of restrictions to potentially imposing them.
BBC pundits and AI struggled to predict the Premier League season, with most backing Liverpool to win. Only one pundit correctly ordered the top two teams, highlighting the unpredictability of the league.
The Opta supercomputer has identified Jannik Sinner (20.44%) and Aryna Sabalenka (7.74%) as the top favorites for the men's and women's singles titles at Roland Garros 2026, respectively. Novak Djokovic and Alexander Bublik are also listed as contenders for the men's title, while Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff are favored in the women's draw.
Jiuzhang 4.0, a quantum computer, completed a Gaussian boson sampling task in 25 microseconds, a feat estimated to take the world's most powerful supercomputer over 10^42 years.
Elon Musk's xAI has leased its Colossus 1 supercomputer to Anthropic, a move that follows Musk's public shift from criticizing the AI lab to expressing confidence in its leadership. This deal provides Anthropic with significant GPU capacity, addressing its urgent compute needs and enabling immediate inference workloads. The partnership also hints at future collaborations for orbital AI compute infrastructure.
China has unveiled a new supercomputer built from entirely home-grown CPUs, with the aim of beating the world’s fastest machine while sidestepping US export controls. Known as Lingsheng or LineShine, it is designed to reach 2 exaflops – or two quintillion calculations per second – edging past the 1.8-exaflop El Capitan, the current record holder at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Unlike other exascale supercomputers, which rely on graphics processing units (GPUs),...

Yellowstone is the world’s largest active volcanic system – its eruptions are hundreds of times more powerful than Vesuvius’ blast and its ash could blanket half the US. Yet, for decades, scientists could not agree on what drove its underground magma system. A new finding detailed by Chinese researchers could settle the dispute. They declared that Yellowstone’s magma channels were not blasted open by magma forcing its way upwards. Instead, tectonic forces tore the lithosphere apart first and...
