🚀 Onboard computing in space is advancing faster than most people realise. NASA has confirmed the successful testing of a new radiation-hardened processor delivering computational performance reported to be hundreds of times higher than current flight-qualified hardware.
The Australian Government has set the expectations for the next wave of infrastructure. New guidance released this week establishes a National Interest Framework for data centres and AI compute facilities.
🤖 Is your next data centre project aligned with the new federal expectations for AI infrastructure? The Australian Government has released a National Interest Framework for data centres and AI compute facilities.
🤖 AI hardware is consuming electricity at an unsustainable rate. A new development from the University of Cambridge could change the trajectory of this infrastructure. Researchers have successfully created a nanoelectronic device using hafnium oxide that mimics human synaptic connections.
🤖 “I think it is now. I think we have achieved AGI.”
That statement from NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has prompted significant debate across the technology and professional services sectors.
🤖 AI infrastructure scaling in Australia has just hit a significant regulatory turning point. The Federal Government has officially launched its National Interest Framework for data centres and large-scale compute projects.
🤖 Your smartphone may now be capable of fine-tuning a billion-parameter AI model. Tether’s release of the QVAC framework has shifted the economics of artificial intelligence development.
Energy is the new frontier for the AI race, and the U.S. government is moving to secure the infrastructure required for the next decade of compute.
💧 A threefold tightening for one of Australia’s most common herbicides, but major relief for marine developers. Water Quality Australia has finalised major updates to the toxicant Default Guideline Values (DGVs) under the ANZG 2018 framework.
Industrial humanoid robotics have moved from the laboratory to the factory floor. UBTECH and Siemens have confirmed a partnership to scale production to 10,000 units annually by the end of 2026. This transition marks a move from bespoke research projects to high-volume manufacturing deployment.
