Google was the first cloud provider to make its own custom AI chips, called TPUs, when they first came out in 2015 – a trend both Amazon and Microsoft followed years later. Now, Apple has revealed it uses TPUs to train its AI models, positioning Google chips as an alternative to Nvidia’s market-leading GPUs. CNBC got an exclusive look inside the lab where Google makes its chips, and its top executive showcased TPU Version 6, Trillium, and its new Arm-based CPU, Axion, both coming out later in 2024.
This Next Billion-Dollar Startup Wants To Save American Manufacturing
Hadrian founder and CEO Chris Power has raised $180 million to manufacture metal parts at warp speeds at his California factory. Now he wants to build dozens more across the country to make more parts better, faster and cheaper. Power’s vision is somewhat different from other startups building tech to make other companies’ warehouses more efficient: He’s developed proprietary software to run Hadrian’s own factory, which allows it to churn out all types of precision metal parts for aerospace, space and defense companies faster, more efficiently and with fewer people. Now he wants to build out a network of cookie-cutter, high-tech machine shops across the country to shake up a giant and fragmented industry. That’s a difficult and capital-intensive project, but one that Power argues is crucial for America’s industrial base. Investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund and Lux Capital, have bet $180 million on it, and the company is now worth roughly $500 million.

Former SpaceX engineer invents a “Robotic Blacksmith Army” | Hard Reset
It takes years to fix a complex fighter jet. Robo-factories could do it at the click of a button.
Automotive parts manufactured in the morning, aerospace parts manufactured at noon: Machina Labs’ factory of the future is rethinking manufacturing with roboforming.
Roboforming is a revolutionary way of shaping metal using robots and artificial intelligence. To keep up with our ever-shifting digital world, manufacturing needs to deviate from the standard practices established decades ago that most of the industry is still following.
Machina Labs is taking manufacturing to the next level by making it more nimble and accessible, no huge factories required. They’re approaching the industry with one big idea: What if custom manufacturing could be just as affordable and efficient?
Quantum Computers: What Are They & How Will They Change The World?
Scientists are working on the revolutionary technology of quantum computers, which promise to do everything from curing cancer to instantly hacking every computer on the planet.
Infinite Range Electric Car – DIY Build
Ever wondered why we can’t make an electric car that’s fully powered by solar panels to provide an unlimited range? This video is a lighthearted take on building an infinite range electric car that uses solar panels to provide unlimited energy. The car has dual 3000W ebike motors to reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h, a 48v 4000w/h LifePO4 battery, 1575w of total solar production.
