The open source artificial intelligence platform Lightning AI announced a partnership with Nvidia to release a next-generation AI compiler called "Thunder" to accelerate the training of artificial intelligence models. According to Lightning AI, the compiler can increase the training speed of large language models (LLMs) by up to 40% compared to unoptimized code in actual scenarios. This good news brings new technological breakthroughs to the field of AI. The release of the "Thunder" compiler marks the first time that Lightning AI has developed a new compiler for the PyTorch open source machine learning framework...

Nvidia has made a strong case for itself as a driver of robotics innovation in recent days with projects like Isaac and Jetson. At its annual GTC developer conference, the company also announced that it would further solidify its position in the humanoid race with the GR00T project, a move that was seen as a tribute to Marvel. Dubbed a “universal base model for humanoid robots,” the GR00T project aims to build a unified AI platform for the many robot manufacturers that have emerged recently. These manufacturers include 1X Technologies, Ag…
