This week, IBM Research was on the ground at SEMICON India to share our latest advances in logic scaling, packaging technology, intelligent fab and more. As part of this engagement, Mukesh Khare, GM of IBM Semiconductors and VP of Hybrid Cloud Research, and Sandip Patel, Managing Director of IBM India, had the opportunity to demonstrate to Prime Minister Narendra Modi how IBM is a leader in AI through innovations like our geospatial AI model with NASA and IBM AIU Spyre chip. IBM also signed a memorandum of understanding with India semiconductor leader Larsen & Toubro to collaborate on designing advanced processors.

IBM’s new AI filter for hateful, abusive, and profane (HAP) text is built for speed! ?? Small enough to run on a CPU, and quick enough to catch HAP-related text at each phase of the LLM lifecycle, from pre-processing to inferencing. IBM just open sourced granite-guardian-hap-38m on Hugging Face as part of a larger goal to make HAP detection as fast and straightforward as a spellcheck. https://ibm.co/3zhGGcd

This week on The Short, IBM is setting the stage for new platforms and functions in AI and quantum. We're sharing exciting news on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI launch, learning more about how Qiskit Serverless works and the scientists propelling its research, and taking a look at IBM’s new AI filter for hateful, abusive, and profane (HAP) text.

In this week's newsletter, we're taking an exclusive look inside the new IBM Research Think Lab. We introduce our lab for the future of computing, we explore the latest processors announced at Hot Chips, and we take a look at watsonx in action at this year's US Open.

In a lab an hour north of New York City sits the most advanced quantum computer in the world, and a cluster of revolutionary prototype AI chips. This new lab reflects the convergence of computing platforms that we see as the future of computing. But, why did IBM spend the better part of 2023 building a new lab in Yorktown Heights, New York?

The ?? news out of #HotChips2024 is… the preview of our new IBM Spyre Accelerator! Designed in collaboration with IBM Research, this AI accelerator will lead to exciting potential new use cases for IBM Z, like bringing the power of generative AI to IBM Z. In the future, these systems could move from simpler tasks like detecting fraud in transactions, to being able to leverage much more complex AI models that can identify intricate fraud patterns which could easily be missed. We’re modernizing AI workloads for the mainframe, while preserving the security and reliability IBM Z offers. Learn more here: https://ibm.co/3X37wwL

Recently, IBM’s Dr. Juan Bernabe Moreno sat down with Ambassador Philip Thigo, MBS to discuss the cutting-edge technologies Kenya is deploying to fight climate change. Leveraging IBM and NASA’s geospatial foundation model, the government of Kenya was able to monitor their reforestation program efforts to help increase their water supply. Watch as Ambassador Thigo explains how this technology impacts Kenyan citizens and where they hope to apply it next. https://ibm.co/4dQUrxq

Believe it or not, but there was a time when just having a website was big news.?On this day in 1996, IBM?virtually?opened the doors?to its innovations on?the?World Wide Web, allowing?information superhighway?surfers?to click on www.alphaWorks.ibm.com. It was IBM Research’s first site that let netizens preview, use, and experiment with its hottest new Internet technologies months before they were offered as products and services.

In this week's newsletter, we explore the AI chips of the future. We introduce the new AI processor IBM Z, we highlight the new generative AI features helping fans at the US Open, and we explain how LLM transformers work. Read more on the latest news and subscribe here:

Is it magic — or is it a LLM learning how to make a probability distribution? A new open-source, web-based tool designed by researchers at IBM Research and Georgia Institute of Technology lets non-experts see what actually goes on under the hood of a transformer-based language model, which learns from large-scale data how to mimic human-generated text. Check it out in our latest explainer breaking down the AI transformer: https://ibm.co/3Mgre2Z
