Germany balks at paying for a European ChatGPT

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:12:39 GMT

The Large European AI Models (LEAM) initiative wanted Germany to help fund its hoped-for European version of ChatGPT — but the government has other ideas.“The mundane problem is that the money is not there,” Jörg Bienert, chairman of the German AI Association, which is behind LEAM, told POLITICO. “That’s actually very sad because we’re not investing in our future at all right now,” he added.LEAM consists of scientists and researchers who want Europe to catch up in the artificial intelligence race and not be stuck relying on foreign technology. Essential to their plan is the construction of a supercomputer dedicated to building language models, at an estimated cost of between €300 million and €400 million.“We roughly estimated that we need 60 to 70 percent from the public sector as infrastructure investment,” coming to about €230 million, said Bienert. “We see these large models as a kind of public infrastructure … like a pi...

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:12:39 GMT

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — New Bedford was once the city that lit the world, exporting vast quantities of whale oil for lamps in the early 1800s. Workers packed the docks, unloading casks of oil that had been extracted at sea from whale carcasses and brought in by a fleet of hundreds of whaling ships.Nearly two centuries later New Bedford aspires to light the world again, in a different relationship with the sea, as the offshore wind industry arrives here.On Wednesday, the vessel UHL Felicity bringing wind turbine tower sections from Portugal reached the Port of New Bedford. Once assembled out on the water this summer by developer Vineyard Wind, the turbines will stand more than 850 feet high.“There’s this sort of poetic coming-about for New Bedford as a center of energy,” Mayor Jon Mitchell said.It’s also a milestone for the industry. The United States does not yet have a single commercial-scale offshore wind farm. But it will soon.THE BUILDOUTVineyard Wind is building a 62-turbine ...
