Apple seeks AI chips, new model released, Trump criticizes NY data center ban

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Apple Inc. is reportedly exploring acquisitions of AI chip companies to enhance its server capabilities, as its current M2 Ultra-powered systems are deemed insufficient. Meanwhile, Thinking Machines Lab has released Inkling, a 975-billion-parameter open-source model designed for video and audio comprehension, positioning itself against competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI. Separately, Donald Trump has publicly criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul's one-year moratorium on new data center construction, urging its immediate repeal. AI

IMPACT Apple's potential chip acquisitions could influence AI hardware development, while a new large-scale open-source model may spur further research and competition.
