Computing power has increased exponentially over the past few decades. We now have cameras on smartphones with incredible computational photography, voice assistants that respond near instantaneously, ...

The ‘neural processing unit’ is being pushed as the next big thing for ‘AI PCs’ and ‘AI smartphones,’ but it won’t eliminate the need for cloud-based AI. Reading time 6 minutes There’s a CPU. There’s ...

Nick is a Features author who's been writing for fellow tech geeks since 2011. While he's mostly focused on phones, he's also thrilled by cameras and audio gear of all shapes and sizes. On weekends, ...

(More on weights in just a moment.) A neural net must also possess 3) some kind of propagation function by which information is passed through the system in order to produce an output. Neural nets are ...

What are spiking neural networks (SNNs)? Why the Akida Pico neural processing unit (NPU) can use so little power to handle machine-learning models. Why neuromorphic computing is important to ...

Almost every technological innovation of the past several years has been laser-focused on one thing: generative AI. Many of these supposedly revolutionary systems run on big, expensive servers in a ...
