Rishi Sunak is directing public funds toward acquiring high-performance artificial intelligence chips to ensure the country remains competitive in the global race for computing capabilities. The government has initiated talks with major IT firms such as Nvidia, AMD, and Intel to secure resources for a national “AI Research Resource.” This effort aligns with prime minister’s vision to establish Britain as a leading force in the field of artificial intelligence. Though the project has been allocated £100 million, there are concerns that this funding might fall short of the government’s AI aspirations. Government officials are advocating for additional funding in the coming months to match the scale of this initiative. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are vital components in constructing AI systems like ChatGPT, with the latest version trained on as many as 25,000 Nvidia chips.

The scientists at Nvidia have pioneered a new technique that converts textual content into imagery, helping to tackle the data storage predicaments that arise during the formation of novel models. Currently, the specifics of a single concept occupy roughly 100 KB. This efficiency stems from the fact that the approach doesn't reengineer the entire model; instead, it adjusts select "internal representations", bypassing the need to retrain the model entirely.
