US-sanctioned Chinese chip start-up Moore Threads unveils GPU-based computing centre, AI graphics card

Moore Threads, a US-sanctioned Chinese chip start-up, has introduced a new graphics card and a GPU-based computing hub for AI training. The company aims to meet China's growing demand for large language model training with its KUAE Intelligent Computing Centre. Moore Threads has faced challenges due to US export controls and has struggled to find wafer foundries and access US electronic design automation software. However, the company remains sought after, with Baidu, ByteDance, Tencent Holdings, and Alibaba Group Holding among the buyers of Nvidia GPUs.

If countries are serious about climate change, they should get serious about quantum computing

If countries are serious about climate change, they should get serious about quantum computing

The COP28 Conference in Dubai has already unveiled several declarations that underscore the disastrous consequences of climate change and galvanize global initiatives to keep a resilient future within reach. Though laudable, these declarations are ultimately futile if countries fail to successfully implement them. If countries are serious about meeting their climate commitments, they should get serious about quantum computing, a potentially game-changing technology that could support implementation and drive breakthrough climate innovations.
