DeepSeek and Zhipu AI are racing toward trillion-parameter scale using Huawei Ascend clusters and optimized mixture-of-experts architectures — precisely while US export controls have cut off access to Nvidia's H100...
The labor market is being restructured in real time, and the people absorbing the shock are not the ones writing the press releases. The IMF estimated in January 2024 that nearly 40% of global employment is directly...
A typical small-animal vet writes SOAP notes for two to three hours of every clinical day. That's the bottleneck the AI vendors are aiming at — and in the last twelve months, the wedge has widened from a single category (the scribe) to five: AI...
