For those who enjoy rooting for the underdog, the latest MLPerf benchmark results will disappoint: Nvidia’s GPUs have dominated the competition yetagain. This includes chart-topping performance on the latest and most demanding benchmark, pretraining the Llama 3.1 403B large language model. That said, the computers built around the newest AMD GPU, MI325X, matched the performance of Nvidia’s H200, Blackwell’s predecessor, on the most popular LLM fine-tuning benchmark.

Last week, the federal government terminated hundreds of research grants to Harvard University professors from a broad range of fields of study. This comes on the heels of a conflict between Harvard, among other universities, and the Trump administration. To re-cap: the Trump administration has accused Harvard of not doing enough to combat antisemitism on its campus, and made a series of demands to the university.

A new computing paradigm—thermodynamic computing—has entered the scene. Okay, okay, maybe it’s just probabilistic computing by a new name. They both use noise (such as that caused by thermal fluctuations) instead of fighting it, to perform computations. But still, it’s a new physical approach.
