Развитие искусственного интеллекта требует всё больше вычислительных ресурсов. Каждая новая модель обучается на больших объёмах данных и использует всё более мощную инфраструктуру.

Это создаёт серьёзную нагрузку на энергосистемы, а строительство таких объектов всё чаще вызывает протесты местных жителей из-за высокого энергопотребления, расхода воды и шума.На этом фоне Read more ›

Но суперпопулярными они так и не стали.Сейчас компания решила сделать новую попытку. Несколько дней назад Google анонсировал Googlebook — линейку ноутбуков, которая должна стать шагом... Read more ›

Три месяца назад, в феврале, я написал комментарий, что LLM-агенты могут обновлять кодовую базу по тикетам конечных пользователей и сразу выкатываться на прод. Некоторые коллеги эту идею поддержали, некоторые наоборот - раскритиковали. Это нормально, у нас у всех свой собственный опыт, которым и форматируется наше мышление.Мой опыт говорит мне о том, что агентов можно выстроить в цепочку, подать на вход задачу (issue) и на выходе иметь готовый результат - код....

A newly identified brain protein may play a major role in how the body ages. Researchers discovered that declining levels of Menin in the hypothalamus triggered inflammation, memory problems, bone loss, and other aging-related changes in mice. Restoring Menin reversed several of these effects, while a simple amino acid supplement called D-serine boosted cognition. The discovery opens a surprising new path for fighting age-related decline.
