Microsoft’s topological qubit arrives seven years late
By
–
Microsoft’s ‘topological qubit’ is seven years late and a million bits short Microsoft told me they would have a “topological qubit” in 2018. It’s only just arrived this week — maybe. There’s skepticism among scientists as to whether Microsoft’s paper in Nature actually proves

Grok’s H100 GPU Training: Missing Transparency on Key Metrics
By
–
The number of H100 GPUs used for training helps estimate parameters, data size, and training duration, so it’s an important detail. But Grok’s team hasn’t been clear about key factors like benchmark performance and the exact number of GPUs used for training, which leads to

Grok-3 Training Hardware: 100k vs 200k H100s Clarification
By

I want to clarify this. Was Grok-3 trained on 200k H100s, or is it being served using them? I remember hearing in the live Q&A that it was trained on 100k H100s.
