AI: xAI, $50B valuation

Jack Dorsey, Larry Ellison Among Elon Musk's Twitter Backers Set To Gain Windfall From xAI Deal - NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) - Benzinga

xAI, founded by Musk last year, is reportedly nearing the completion of a $5 billion fundraising round. This could potentially double its valuation to $50 billion within six months, offsetting some of the unrealized losses from the Twitter deal.

Despite Twitter’s declining value, xAI’s growth has been advantageous for Musk’s backers, who initially contributed $7.1 billion for the Twitter takeover. The Financial Times noted that only previous xAI investors could participate in the latest fundraising, maintaining their stake undiluted.

The rise in xAI’s valuation comes as the company seeks to raise up to $6 billion to acquire 100,000 Nvidia Corp. chips for its Memphis data center


Musk officially announced the formation of xAI on July 12, 2023.[12][13] He linked the date (7 + 12 + 23 = 42) to the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams,[14] in which a supercomputer calculates that the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42;



That’s according to The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the upcoming app will be similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, allowing users to access xAI’s Grok chatbot from their personal devices.

mini PC: AI TOPS: AMD Ryzen AI 9


What is TOPS and why is it important for AI? | Windows Central

TOPS denotes how many trillions of operations a system can perform per second. TOPS can be used to measure overall system performance, but it can also be split up for specific hardware... 
NVIDIA's RTX 4090 desktop graphics card (GPU) can offer more than 1,300 TOPS

The Copilot+ PC brand is used for laptops capable of running the features locally with the help of a powerful NPU with at least 40 TOPS.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS "Hawk Point" APU features an integrated NPU with 16 TOPS and offers up to 38 platform TOPS. Since the Ryzen 7 8745HS won't feature the same AI NPU, its total TOPS will be 25 (GPU+CPU).

Steps to Miles Calculator

A person of average height and weight has a step length of between 2.1 and 2.5 feet,
meaning they take around 2,250 steps to walk one mile
at a moderate pace of about 3 mph (4.8 kph).

A half-mile = 1,125 walking steps.
A quarter-mile = 560 walking steps.
5,000 steps = around 2 ¼ miles.
10,000 steps = around 4 ½ miles.
15,000 steps = around 6 ¾ miles.
20,000 steps = around 9 miles.

book: ChatGPT and the Future of AI

 ChatGPT and the Future of AI: The Deep Language Revolution: Sejnowski, Terrence J.: 9780262049252: Amazon.com: Books

An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here, where we’re headed, and what it all means for how we interact with the world.

In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.


interview with the author



Terrence Joseph Sejnowski (US: /ˌseɪˈnɒvskɪ/; born 13 August 1947) is the Francis Crick Professor at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies where he directs the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory and is the director of the Crick-Jacobs center for theoretical and computational biology. He has performed pioneering research in neural networks and computational neuroscience.

With Barbara Oakley, he co-created and taught Learning How To Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects, the world's most popular online course,[5] available on Coursera
