[7.1] OpenAI announces GPT-4o, a multimodal voice assistant that's free for all ChatGPT users — Mashable
OpenAI's GPT-4o model, combining text, vision, and audio, is now available for free to all ChatGPT users and via API. It is twice as fast and half the price of GPT-4 Turbo. GPT-4o can process real-time voice, vision, and text, enhance math problem-solving, and detect emotions.
[6.8] Researchers convert wool and hair offcuts into graphite for batteries — ABC News
Around 70% of the world's graphite, essential for lithium batteries, is sourced from China. Australia, rich in lithium yet reliant on graphite imports, may shift as Charles Sturt University researchers turn hair and wool into graphite. This could revolutionize Australia’s battery production, benefiting woolgrowers and boosting sustainable energy storage.
[6.8] Researchers identify cancer 'fingerprints' using geological technique — ScienceAlert
A new study reveals cancer cells have distinct hydrogen isotope 'fingerprints,' found using geological techniques. Researchers from the US and Switzerland discovered cells with high growth rates, such as cancer cells, have different hydrogen-to-deuterium ratios. This preliminary finding could lead to novel early detection methods.
[6.5] LightSolver's LPU100 optical computer outperforms supercomputers and quantum computing — Livescience.com
Engineers have developed the LPU100 optical computer, the size of a desktop PC, to perform complex AI calculations in 10 nanoseconds, outpacing GPUs. Using 100 lasers and laser interference, it excels in tasks like vector-matrix multiplications. The device is efficient at room temperature, suitable for finance, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, and available via LightSolver's cloud platform for problems with up to 1 million variables.
