DeepSeek paper offers new details on how it used 2,048 Nvidia chips to take on OpenAI
Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) research lab DeepSeek has released a new research paper revealing in detail for the first time how it built one of the world's most powerful open-source AI systems at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. 'Insights into DeepSeek-V3: Scaling Challenges and Reflections on Hardware for AI Architectures', co-authored by DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng and released on Wednesday, attributes the start-up's breakthrough in training high-performance, cost-efficient AI systems to a hardware-software co-design approach. 'DeepSeek-V3, trained on 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs, demonstrates how hardware-aware model co-design can effectively address these challenges, enabling cost-efficient training and inference at scale,' the researchers wrote. DeepSeek and its hedge fund owner High-Flyer had previously stockpiled the H800, which Nvidia originally designed for the China market to comply with US export restrictions but were banned from export to to the country in 2023. The start-up's training approach stemmed from the team's awareness of hardware constraints and the 'exorbitant costs' of training large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind AI chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT – according to the paper. The paper details technical optimisations that boost memory efficiency, streamline inter-chip communication, and enhance overall AI infrastructure performance – key advancements for reducing operational costs while scaling capabilities. These offer a 'practical blueprint for innovation in next-generation AI systems', the researchers said. Play DeepSeek also highlighted its use of a mixture-of-experts (MoE) model architecture, a machine-learning approach that divides an AI model into separate sub-networks, or experts, each focused on a subset of the input data while working collaboratively.

Is Lita done with wrestling? 3 WWE dream matches that can tempt her to return to the ring
Image via WWE Lita is one of the pioneers in the world of women's wrestling and is a renowned WWE legend. The women's wrestling scene was completely altered in the mid-2000s when legends like Lita burst on the scene. Starting her career with Essa Rios, she then began teaming up with the Hardy Boyz and gained massive attention for her high-flying style and charismatic personality. Moreover, she and Trish Stratus created history in 2004 by becoming the first women to main event Monday Night RAW. Moreover, Lita did return for a couple of matches in the modern era, with her last performance taking place in 2023. With the WWE landscape completely altered since the Extreme Diva competed last, here are the three matches that can possibly lure her back to the squared circle: 3. Rhea Ripley — GamerGamer791 (@GamerGamer791) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Google Brain Co-Founder Andrew Ng, Recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo The current WWE women's division has a dominant and fierce superstar who has become a highly popular name in the business. It is none other than WWE's resident Mami, Rhea Ripley. The Eradicator has become a renowned face in the modern era. However, she is yet to face a legend in her career. The wait for Ripley could finally come to an end with a chance for a dance in the ring with WWE Hall of Famer Lita. The former WWE Women's Champion has been known to battle some top and stronger opponents in her career, and a match against Mami could become a huge hit. 2. Liv Morgan Another popular WWE superstar in the modern era of the women's division is Liv Morgan. Much like Lita, Morgan came from nothing and became a top star of the business. Moreover, the duo has displayed very similar antics in terms of their personality, in-ring style, and luck with top male WWE stars. With Morgan climbing higher at the top of the mountain, a match against Lita could be a major push to her flourishing WWE career. 1. IYO Sky If there is one superstar who can match or possibly now, exceed the amazing high-flying style of Lita in the ring in the modern era, the top name in the conversation is IYO Sky. Her impressive in-ring acumen, skills, and high-flyer ability have made her a household name and fetched major success in terms of multiple championships and accolades. Therefore, a match between The Genius of the Skies and the Extreme High Flyer would be nothing short of a blockbuster match.

Today in History: 32 people killed in Virginia Tech shooting
Today is Wednesday, April 16, the 106th day of 2025. There are 259 days left in the year. Today in history: On April 16, 2007, Seung-hui Cho, a 23-year-old Virginia Tech student, killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus before taking his own life. It remains the deadliest school history in US history. Also on this date: In 1945, a Soviet submarine in the Baltic Sea torpedoed the ship MV Goya, which Germany was using to transport civilian refugees and wounded soldiers. As many as 7,000 people died as the ship broke apart and sank minutes after being struck. In 1947, the French cargo ship Grandcamp, carrying over 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate, blew up in the harbor in Texas City, Texas. A nearby ship, the High Flyer, which was carrying ammonium nitrate and sulfur, caught fire and exploded the following day. The combined blasts and fires killed nearly 600 people and injured 5,000 in the worst industrial accident in U.S. history. In 1963, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his 'Letter from Birmingham Jail' in which the civil rights activist responded to a group of local clergymen who had criticized him for leading street protests. King defended his tactics, writing, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off for the moon with astronauts John Young, Charles Duke and Ken Mattingly on board. In 2010, the U.S. government accused Wall Street's most powerful firm of fraud, saying Goldman Sachs & Co. had sold mortgage investments without telling buyers the securities were crafted with input from a client who was betting on them to fail. (In July 2010, Goldman agreed to pay $550 million in a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but it did not admit wrongdoing.) In 2012, a trial began in Oslo, Norway, for Anders Breivik, charged with killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in July 2011. (Breivik was found guilty of terrorism and premeditated murder and given a 21-year prison sentence.) Today's Birthdays: Singer Bobby Vinton is 90. Basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 78. Football coach Bill Belichick is 73. Actor Ellen Barkin is 71. Singer Jimmy Osmond is 62. Actor Jon Cryer is 60. Actor-comedian Martin Lawrence is 60. Actor Peter Billingsley is 54.
