During a briefing with reporters, OpenAI hardware vice president Richard Ho said Jalapeño offers the "best of both worlds" with lower latency and higher throughput, as AI systems typically "have to make a trade-off between the two." First introduced in June, Jalapeño is an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) made in partnership with Broadcom. It's designed for AI inference - the process of running a trained AI mod...

Today on Decoder, I’m talking with Robert Hart, The Verge’s London-based AI reporter, about what AI is doing to the field of mathematics and the existential crisis many lead mathematicians are having about it. OpenAI just published a set of solutions to longstanding problems in math that went off like a bombshell in the field. It caused a huge debate in the math community, and Rob spent some time talking to some of the most accomplished mathematicians of our time about it. It’s funny that AI systems are all still pretty bad at elementary school arithmetic, but getting increasingly good at ver...
