A fall can shorten a person’s life. Preventing them with wearable robotics requires 2 steps: detecting fall-related conditions and using predictions to activate a wearable device. This team has proposed exactly such a detection-and-activation system:

Condor Galaxy 1 Powers BTLM and Jais Open-Source LLMs
By
–
Condor Galaxy 1 (CG-1) was used to train BTLM, the top-performing open-source 3B parameter LLM. Now, CG-1 has been used to train Jais, the best open-source Arabic model. CG-1 is moving the open-source community forward. Contact us to train on CG-1 http://

Google Cloud MultiSlice Scales ML Training Across TPU Pods
By
–
The @googlecloud MultiSlice system (see blog post in tweet below) is an external version of some internal software+hardware we've been using for a while to scale some of our largest ML training runs across multiple TPUv4 and TPUv5e pods. Scaling made easy!

H100 GPUs lack gaming hardware, potential for CAVE rendering demo
By
–
The H100 GPUs don’t have either rasterization or ray tracing hardware, so conventional game engines can’t run on them. I do think it would be a fun to do some kind of super high end 240 fps CAVE rendering demo with a cluster!

Jais Arabic LLM Outperforms LLaMa 13B Efficiently
By
–
(1/2) Jais is the world's best-performing open-source Arabic language model. And in English, it performs as well as LLaMa 13B despite using a fraction of the training data and a fraction of the electricity to train. Contact us to learn more: http://
