A startup funded by the cofounder of Yahoo and CTO of Intel is suing Nvidia and Microsoft for allegedly infringing on its patent for a key innovation in AI chips and being part of a buying cartel that allegedly sought to artificially fix lower prices for the technology.

In a new lawsuit, Texas-based Xockets says Nvidia has infringed on its patented data processing unit (DPU) technology, which helps make cloud infrastructure more efficient by accelerating data-intensive workloads.

The Japanese president of OpenAI has teased the upcoming AI model named GPT-Next and shared his expectation that it will be far more powerful than the current version.

Tadao Nagasaki shared the insights at the business-focused KDDI Summit 2024 event which was held in Tokyo this week, reports Japanese language tech site ITMedia. It was on Tuesday (Sep 3) when Nagasaki said: “The AI model called GPT-Next, which will eventually come out, will evolve nearly 100 times based on past achievements.”

The implied major upgrade will come from better architecture and learning efficiency, rather than just raw computing power. It will also use a smaller version of ‘Strawberry’ which is the advanced AI system that OpenAI is rumored to be developing.
