AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Google announces Bard, a ChatGPT competitor build atop LaMDA

Google on Monday (February 6) announced Bard, an experimental AI service. Bard is the much-awaited ChatGPT competitor by Google. Sundar Pichai in a blog post on the same day revealed how Bard would help make lives easier with its very own conversation technology – LaMDA.

Google’s Bard is powered by LaMDA, here’s how it will work

Google’s Bard is an experimental AI service that will probably take on OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Bard is powered by Google’s very own conversation technology, LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications).

Google Bard

As you’d expect, Bard will distill the information available on the web instead of simply suggesting articles like how it is on the Google search engine. This means you can ask Bard a simple question like “how many keys does a piano have?” to a slightly complex question like ‘is the piano or guitar easier to learn, and how much practice does each need?”

Bard will also help simplify complex topics for you. In the blog post, Google demonstrated how bard can explain new discoveries from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to a 9-year-old.

Upon asking such questions, Bard will simplify things by listing down the answer as pointers, which is way better than going through a bunch of random articles on the web.

Google has confirmed that Bard has been released with a lightweight model version of LaMDA, which is a smaller model that requires less computing power. This will help Google to scale the AI chatbot to more users while also improving its speed and quality.

Although Bard has been unveiled, it’s currently with trusted testers. Once the testing is completed, it will be rolled out to the public in the ‘coming weeks’.

Now that the much-anticipated AI service by Google has been announced, it will be interesting to see how it fares against competitors like ChatGPT. Also, Microsoft is working with OpenAI to introduce ChatGPT-powered Bing search.

Google’s Bard, ChatGPT, and Microsoft’s ChatGPT-powered Bing — all that calls out for an interesting time for AI-driven tech.
