    Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to=
    achieve artificial general
    intelligence (AGI). While he doesn't have a t=
    imeline for when AGI will
    be reached or an exact definition for it, he ha=
    s moved Meta's AI
    research group FAIR to the same part of the company bui=
    lding
    generative AI products across its apps. The move aims to allow Meta=
    's
    AI breakthroughs to more directly reach its users. Meta plans to own=

    more than 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of the year.=20

    The fea=

    Figure is sending its general-purpose humanoid robots to start=

    real-world work at BMW's manufacturing plant in South Carolina. The

    al may be one of the first-ever commercial deals involving humanoid
    robot=

    company Kitepower has developed a system called Hawk that fli=

    electricity on the ground, and when the tether reaches its maximum=

    length, the ground station winches the kite back in, using only a
    frac=
    tion of the energy it produced. The system fits into a standard
    shipping =
    container and assembly at a new site takes less than 24
    hours.=20

    electricity on the ground, and when the tether reaches its maximum length,=
    the ground station winches the kite back in, using only a fraction of the = energy it produced. The system fits into a standard shipping container and = assembly at a new site takes less than 24 hours.

    Most machine learning in production is = still not related to large language models or generative AI, which make up = less than 10% of the market at most. At their core, machine learning models=
    are algorithms that perform compression on a corpus of data. A lot has cha= nged in leading-edge machine learning applications over the past year as th=
    e industry has moved from smaller, business-specific models that perform sp= ecific tasks to very large generalist models that complete text. The pendul=
    um is again shifting to smaller models that people are starting to fine-tun=
    e and run on their own. The industry still focuses on compression, but it i=
    s changing where and how much it is controlled.
