Meet 'Groq,' the AI Chip That Leaves Elon Musk’s Grok in the Dust
Groq, an AI chip company, wants everyone to forget about Elon Musk’s snarky chatbot with nearly the same name, Grok. Lightning-fast demos from Groq went viral this weekend, making current versions of ChatGPT, Gemini and even Grok look sluggish. Groq claims to provide “the world’s fastest large language models,” and third-party tests are saying that claim might hold up. Groq is an “inference engine,” not a chatbot like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok. It helps these chatbots run incredibly fast but does not replace them altogether.

Demand for European data centers is skyrocketing, and providers can’t keep up
European data centers failed to keep pace with skyrocketing demand for services over the last year, new research shows, despite the building boom fueled by the industry’s largest customers. Analysis from CBRE found there was 601MW of take-up across the 14 largest markets in Europe in 2023. Unfortunately, though, just 561MW of new supply was delivered during the same period. This marks the second time in the space of five years that data center demand has exceeded supply in Europe, CBRE noted, raising concerns about a potential future bottleneck for organizations across the region.

Opera browser’s new AI cluster in Iceland, powered by 100% renewable energy, showcases another example of the shift to energy efficient data center
Nordic web browsing specialist Opera has announced plans to enhance its AI infrastructure by deploying an AI cluster at a green data center in Iceland. Green data centers are a growing trend in IT infrastructure as organizations rush to provide the latest AI functionalities while staying on track to meet sustainability goals. Notoriously data-hungry AI workloads make this a difficult balancing act, and so energy-efficient data centers that are still able to provide the required computing power while limiting environmental impact have become a key focus for many enterprises.

Developers Are in Open Revolt Over Apple’s New App Store Rules
The rules technically make it possible for users of its hardware to download apps from alternative app stores and also for developers to use their own payment systems—bypassing Apple’s commission. But in order to access these new features, developers have to sign up to new business terms. Those terms include restrictions that disincentivize any developers moving away from the status quo, according to Pfau.

Cookies i webbläsaren på väg bort – då spåras användarna med annan teknik
När Google och andra planerar att slopa tredjepartsspårare för sökningar och webbplatser, kommer andra sätt att identifiera användare och upptäcka deras vanor att ersätta dem. Under de senaste åren har annonsbranschen på nätet genomgått en genomgripande förändring, eftersom tillsynsmyndigheterna har begränsat hur cookies får användas och webbläsarleverantörerna har slutat att använda dem, som svar på konsumenternas protester när det gäller integritetsfrågor. "De känner sig ofta övervakade; vissa tycker till och med att det är 'läskigt' att en webbplats kan visa dem annonser som är relaterade till deras beteende på andra ställen", säger en färsk studie från HEC Paris Business School.
