OpenAI and Broadcom unveiled a new LLM-optimized inference chip on Wednesday, as the generative AI vendor seeks to reduce token costs for businesses and gain a competitive advantage over rival Anthropic.The chip, named Jalapeño, is OpenAI’s first intelligence processor. It is the first step for the ChatGPT maker toward building a full stack behind its models and products. OpenAI designed the chip from the start to work with all LLMs. The vendor said it will release a detailed technical report on the model in the next few months but said the chip’s architecture reduces data movement and balances compute, memory…

If you’re one of the estimated 5.3 million Americans living with atrial fibrillation (afib) — a heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat — you may have noticed that the change in seasons affects your condition.[1] Hot weather requires your heart to work harder because of the stress on the body caused by heat, potentially triggering an episode of atrial fibrillation. In addition, extreme heat can raise your risk for stroke and heart failure, two potentially fatal cardiovascular events that can be triggered by an afib attack.Fortunately, you can adopt a few key habits to keep your heart safe from the heat in…
Sometimes the challenges we face are giant, like tunneling beneath the seafloor. Some exist at the nanoscale, as with a new ASML machine powering the future of chipmaking. Others represent problems at a planetary scale and in truly unknown territory, like replicating a volcano’s mechanism to cool the Earth on purpose. These incredible engineering stories show we can come together to get to work and, when the smoke clears, find we’ve made real progress. Subscribe now to read all of them—and more—in the full print issue. Stripe, Anthropic, and OpenAI are backing an effort to stop respiratory infections The common…
A group of New Yorkers mowed down by reckless e‑bikers will sue the Mamdani administration — accusing the mayor of letting the growing menace to pedestrians run wild. The lawsuit against Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, expected to be filed Thursday, will target Hizzoner’s March executive order that stopped enforcement of minor e-bike violations — a policy critics say has turned city streets into a Wild West where pedestrians and everyday cyclists take their life into their own hands. “No mayor has the power to suspend the laws the City Council and state Legislature passed to keep New Yorkers safe –…
The Trump administration imposed sanctions last year against Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court. Now, she and two other judges are suing President Trump and his administration, claiming the penalties exceeded his authority.The case, filed in the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, is the latest effort to challenge what many experts have described as the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine international law.If successful, the lawsuit could curb the American government’s ability to use sanctions to punish judges for making rulings it disagrees with.Ms. Prost is joined in the suit by Judge Reine Alapini-Gansou from…

Mistral AI released a major update to its document intelligence model that helps users comprehend all elements in a document, such as media, text, tables and equations, rather than just extracting those data points.Launched on June 23, the model can process images and PDFs and extract content as ordered, interleaved text and images. It is designed for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. The model supports 170 languages across 10 language groups, according to Mistral. It can also process up to 2,000 pages per minute on a single GPU and can be used as a standalone for context extraction.With OCR 4, Mistral…
Social media is flooded with commentary from World Cup soccer fans traveling to the United States for the first time and discovering elements of life that Americans consider ordinary. There’s one condiment in particular that’s caught on big: ranch dressing.Ranch dressing has become so popular with people coming to the United States for the World Cup that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued several messages to travelers on how to pack bottles to fly home with. “If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event and happen to discover RANCH while you’re here … pls pack it in your…
Unit two at the Golfech nuclear power plant in southern France shut down at about 11:45 p.m. on June 22 when the river used to cool the plant got too hot. The move was a precautionary measure, according to Brid Nelligan, a spokesperson for EDF, the plant’s owner and operator. The power plant takes in water from the Garonne River and then returns most of it to the river at slightly higher temperatures after using it to cool equipment. French regulations limit the temperature of that return stream, so the warm water (it was expected to reach 28 °C, or…
