A developer has shared a practical guide on clustering three NVIDIA Jetson Nano Orin Super boards, leveraging their Ampere CUDA cores and unified memory. This project is part of 'smolcluster,' an initiative to make distributed AI training and inference accessible using everyday hardware like Macs, Raspberry Pis, and Jetsons. The series aims to explore whether heterogeneous clusters (mixing different hardware architectures) can effectively run local LLMs.
Based only on the title, Nvidia appears to be proposing a high-end CPU system for Windows PCs. That could signal deeper ambitions beyond GPUs and AI accelerators into the core PC platform. However, no article text is available, so the architecture, specs, partners, timing, and product positioning remain unconfirmed.
Hello Robot has released Stretch 4, the fourth generation of its home assistance robot. The company is taking a cautious, deployment-first approach, using a wheeled base, telescoping arm, sensors, and human-in-the-loop control rather than promising a general-purpose humanoid. TechCrunch frames Stretch as a practical bet on real household data, assistive use cases, and safer hardware for people with mobility challenges.
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a novel magnesium-tin (Mg-Sn) alloy anode for solid-state magnesium batteries. By utilizing "secondary phase engineering," they turned detrimental interfacial reactions into an advantage. This breakthrough extends the battery's cycle life by over 400 times, achieving stable operation for more than 1,300 hours.
To bypass US semiconductor equipment sanctions, Huawei has introduced the "τ (Tau) scaling law." Instead of physical transistor shrinking, this approach focuses on reducing signal propagation delay via design-level innovations like logic folding. Huawei aims to achieve performance equivalent to a 1.4nm node by 2031, challenging TSMC's lithography-centric dominance.
