Diamond color centers are a well researched field, but using them at scale as qubits was out of reach until recently. Their Quantum Transistor device (patent pending) resolves the charge stability issue and few more hurdles to enable using color centers as qubits. They presented at the Q2B 2025 conference. They could scale to 250,000 ... Read more

Tim Dettmers Argues AGI Will Not Happen Dettmers claims GPU performance-per-cost peaked around 2018. Post-2018 gains from one-off architectural tricks now exhausted and facing diminishing returns. Transformers are near physically optimal for local computation versus global attention. Scaling laws demand exponential resources for linear gains. Only 1-2 years of viable scaling left before costs outpace ... Read more

Google's system leverages optical circuit switching (OCS) to create direct, low-latency optical paths between TPU chips, minimizing signal conversion losses. They avoid repeated optical-electrical-optical transformations. This enables efficient data sharing across thousands of chips in a single pod, with signals remaining in the optical domain for most inter-chip communication. Ironwood, seventh generation TPU, is purpose-built ... Read more
