Predibase announces the Predibase Inference Engine, their new infrastructure offering designed to be the best platform for serving fine-tuned small language models (SLMs). The Predibase Inference Engine dramatically improves SLM deployments by making them faster, easily scalable, and more cost-effective for enterprises grappling with the complexities of productionizing AI. Built on Predibase’s innovations–Turbo LoRA and LoRA eXchange (LoRAX)–the Predibase Inference Engine is designed from the ground up to offer a best-in-class experience for serving fine-tuned SLMs.

The need for such an innovation is clear. As AI becomes more entrenched in the fabric of enterprise operations, the challenges associated with deploying and scaling SLMs have grown increasingly daunting. Homegrown infrastructure is often ill-equipped to handle the dynamic demands of high-volume AI workloads, leading to inflated costs, diminished performance, and operational bottlenecks. The Predibase Inference Engine addresses these challenges head-on, offering a tailor-made solution for enterprise AI deployments.

Metasurface technology is an advanced optical technology that is thinner, lighter, and more capable of precisely controlling light through nanometer-sized artificial structures than conventional technologies. KAIST researchers have overcome the limitations of existing metasurface technologies and successfully designed a Janus metasurface capable of perfectly controlling asymmetric light transmission. By applying this technology, they have also proposed an innovative method to significantly enhance security by only decoding information under specific conditions.

Breakthrough could transform our exploration of the solar system, space agency says.

In a newly published study, scientists detail the development of electronic biosensors that can be regenerated and reused repeatedly.

Imagine a swarm of tiny devices only a few hundred nanometers in size that can detect trace amounts of toxins in a water supply or the very earliest signs of cancer in the blood. Now imagine that these tiny sensors can reset themselves, allowing for repeated use over time inside a body of water – or a human body.

Improving nanodevice biosensors is the goal of Mark Reed, Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science. Reed and his colleagues have reported a recent breakthrough in designing electronic biosensors that can be regenerated and reused repeatedly.

Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute have advanced nanoscale optoelectronics by developing a method to control single-molecule photoswitching with atomic precision.

This method utilizes localized surface plasmons on semiconductor platforms to precisely adjust molecular configurations, enhancing device efficiency and adaptability. This innovation promises significant improvements in the miniaturization and functionality of future electronic and photonic devices, potentially impacting a wide range of applications including sensors and photovoltaic cells.

Groundbreaking Discovery in Nanoscale Optoelectronics.

China’s state-backed JFS Laboratory has unveiled the country’s first silicon photonics chip, a significant advancement that could revolutionize AI and high-performance computing. This novel technology uses lasers instead of traditional copper wires, offering increased bandwidth, reduced latency, and improved energy efficiency.
