➀ Foxconn and NVIDIA are partnering to deploy an 'AI factory supercomputer' in Taiwan, in collaboration with the Taiwan government.

➁ The system will feature 10,000 GPUs based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture.

➂ The goal is to accelerate automation and efficiency across various key segments, including smart cities, electric vehicles, and manufacturing.

➀ Asus has unveiled the Ascent GX10, its version of Nvidia's Project Digits.

➁ The Ascent GX10 is a mini-PC that leverages the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip for AI performance.

➂ The device offers up to 1,000 TOPS of AI performance and is designed for developers and AI researchers.

OpenAI's release of GPT-4.5 has been delayed due to a shortage of GPUs. CEO Sam Altman mentioned on X that the rollout will be staggered and will involve adding tens of thousands of GPUs next week. This shortage is prompting OpenAI to develop its own AI silicon in partnership with Broadcom.

The high cost of GPT-4.5, at $75 per million input tokens and $150 per million output tokens, is a concern, but Altman emphasizes its unique intelligence.

NVIDIA's GPUs are in high demand, with Blackwell GPUs sold out until October. The expansion of AI infrastructure, including massive AI supercomputers and data centers, is driving this demand.

➀ Google's latest quantum chip, Willow, achieves remarkable performance in benchmark tests, completing a standard calculation in less than 5 minutes;

➁ The chip solves a 30-year-old quantum error correction challenge by reducing errors exponentially with more qubits;

➂ Willow's breakthrough indicates that quantum computers could achieve scientific discoveries even the most powerful supercomputers cannot by the end of the 21st century;

➃ Quantum computing is crucial for tasks like discovering new drugs, designing efficient batteries for electric vehicles, and accelerating nuclear fusion.
