Nvidia debuts upgraded GH200 Grace Hopper chip with high-speed memory - These new chips have memory that is directly integrated and accessible by the CPU. They are particularly good for AI workloads because the memory can be used to store intermediate values calculated by each layer of a neural network. That makes them much faster since large language models spend significant amounts of time moving this type of data from memory to the CPU. siliconangle.com #

Binance Secures Crypto Exchange License in El Salvador - A somewhat interesting data point. El Salvador was the first country to recognise Bitcoin as legal tender. Binance has been facing regulatory scrutiny in many countries around the world recently, though it remains one of the big crypto exchanges. El Salvador recently made a huge crack down on gang related violence and activity. I wonder how both these items will combine to increase bitcoin adoption. decrypt.co #
