Chinese electric vehicle (EV) makers, led by BYD, are gaining ground on Tesla in the global race to produce self-driving cars. BYD's "God's Eye" driver-assistance package, offered for free, undercuts Tesla's similar technology, which costs nearly $9,000 in China. Other Chinese companies, such as Leapmotor and Xpeng, are also offering affordable EVs with advanced driver-assistance systems. The competition from Chinese smart-EV players poses a significant challenge to Tesla, which is already facing declining vehicle sales globally. Tesla's strategy to focus on self-driving robotaxis is also under threat, as Chinese companies like Huawei are making progress in autonomous driving technology. BYD's assisted-driving hardware costs are lower than Tesla's, according to analyses, and the company's ability to offer advanced driver-assistance systems at a lower cost poses a significant threat to Tesla's business model. The Chinese government's support for advanced assisted driving technology and the country's cut-throat smart-EV competition have created economies of scale, leading to lower manufacturing costs. Tesla plans to launch a self-driving robotaxi trial in Austin, Texas, this month, but the company faces significant competition from Chinese automakers, which are quickly developing driver-assistance systems at lower costs. The growing scale of BYD and other Chinese companies could also provide a technological advantage, as they gather more miles on China's roads, helping to train the AI technology needed to perfect automated driving systems.

Scientists have developed a handheld device that can create genetic profiles from airborne DNA with remarkable speed. The device, about the size of a deck of cards, uses a vacuum to collect microscopic snippets of environmental DNA (eDNA) and can assemble genomic profiles in just two days. Researchers tested the device in Florida's coastal forests and Dublin, detecting DNA traces from various animals, plants, and even illicit drugs. The technology has potential applications in monitoring biodiversity, emerging viruses, and conservation efforts, but also raises ethical concerns about individual-level surveillance and misuse. The device can detect human eDNA, including genetic ancestry, and could be used for beneficial or nefarious purposes. The researchers hope to use the technology to conserve wildlife and emphasize the need for responsible development and use of this powerful tool.

Cornelis Networks, a company spun off from Intel in 2020, has released its 400Gbps CN5000 line of switches and NICs, which utilize the Omni-Path interconnect technology. The company aims to compete with Nvidia's InfiniBand in the high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) markets. Cornelis claims its products offer up to 2x higher messaging rates, 35% lower latency, and 30% faster simulation times compared to Nvidia's 400Gbps Quantum-2 InfiniBand. The CN5000 switches have 48 ports of 400Gbps connectivity, while the CN5000 Director class switch offers up to 230.4 Tbps of aggregate bandwidth. Cornelis also promises to undercut Nvidia on price by a significant margin. However, the company's switches fall behind in terms of bandwidth, offering about three-quarters the number of 400Gbps ports as Nvidia's Quantum-2 switches. Cornelis plans to make the jump to 800Gbps next year, timed with the launch of PCIe 6.0 compatible CPUs from Intel and AMD. The company's products are designed to support clusters of over 500,000 endpoints with near-linear performance scaling. Cornelis also offers active optical and copper cables, and its equipment can support large-scale environments. The company claims its Omni-Path offers 6x shorter collective communication times than RDMA over converged Ethernet (RoCE). Starting next year, Cornelis' 800Gbps capable CN6000-series products will introduce cross-compatibility with Ethernet, allowing users to pair the company's superNICs with Ethernet switches or its switches with Ethernet NICs.

A new study by Apple has found that AI reasoning models, such as those developed by Meta and OpenAI, undergo a "complete accuracy collapse" when faced with complex problems. The study tested various models, including OpenAI's o3 and DeepSeek's R1, on four classic puzzles with adjustable complexity. The results showed that while reasoning models performed well on low-to-medium complexity tasks, their accuracy collapsed when tasks exceeded a certain threshold. The models' performance declined despite having adequate computational resources, suggesting that they rely more on pattern recognition than emergent logic. The study's findings have sparked controversy in the AI field, with some researchers hailing it as a necessary correction to grandiose claims about AI's potential to become superintelligent. However, others have accused Apple of sour grapes, given its lagging position in the AI race.
