12 results for "efficiency"
With 200,000 welding positions unfilled and no fast fix in sight, US manufacturers are deploying physical AI not as an efficiency play but as an operational necessity.
Google DeepMind's TurboQuant compresses AI inference memory 6x with zero accuracy loss and no retraining, delivering 8x faster throughput on H100 GPUs. It's already open source.
T-Mobile and Ericsson have commercially deployed the world's first AI-native Radio Access Network scheduler, replacing decades-old static algorithms with a continuously learning model that optimizes spectral efficiency in real time.
School districts using AI to write graduation speeches and personalized student acknowledgments are getting results ranging from genuinely moving to embarrassingly generic — exposing a deeper tension between efficiency and authenticity at milestone moments.
Early adopters of AI-managed commercial buildings are reporting 20-30% energy savings, while AI tools reshape construction from pre-design cost modeling to permitting to long-term building operations.
AI precision agriculture delivers genuine per-acre efficiency, but an investigative report finds those gains are being captured as yield increases and intensification — not environmental recovery — as the Farm Bill directs billions toward AI subsidies without outcome requirements.
Commercial buildings can detect energy waste and equipment failures with AI, but most lack automated controls to act on those signals — a gap eroding the ROI case for smart building deployments.
AI-powered building management is producing 20–30% energy savings in commercial properties, and buildings are beginning to connect into city-scale intelligence networks that create new revenue streams for property owners.
Chinese AI lab DeepSeek released its most capable model yet, roughly one year after its original launch rattled global AI markets — and the efficiency debate is back.
NVIDIA released Nemotron 3 Nano Omni, a 30B-parameter open model delivering 9x the throughput of comparable omni models — a direct play to own the agentic AI stack, not just the chips.
Meta released Muse Spark, claiming it matches Llama 4 capability at one-tenth the training compute — a potential inflection point in AI efficiency economics.
Researchers published findings showing a neuro-symbolic AI architecture can reduce energy consumption up to 100-fold compared to standard deep learning while simultaneously improving task accuracy.
