Generative AI applications that use text, computer code, protein chains, summaries, video and even 3D graphics require data-center-scale accelerated computing to efficiently train the large language models (LLMs) that power them.In MLPerf Training 4.1 industry benchmarks, the NVIDIA Blackwell platform delivered impressive results on workloads across all tests and up to 2.2x more performance per GPU on LLM benchmarks, including Llama 2 70B fine-tuning and GPT-3 175B pretraining.In addition, NVIDIAs submissions on the NVIDIA Hopper platform continued to hold at-scale records on all benchmarks, including a submission with 11,616 Hopper GPUs on the GPT-3 175B benchmark.Leaps and Bounds With BlackwellThe first Blackwell training submission to the MLCommons Consortium which creates standardized, unbiased and rigorously peer-reviewed testing for industry participants highlights how the architecture is advancing generative AI training performance.For instance, the architecture includes new kernels that make more efficient use of Tensor Cores. Kernels are optimized, purpose-built math operations like matrix-multiplies that are at the heart of many deep learning algorithms.Blackwells higher per-GPU compute throughput and significantly larger and faster high-bandwidth memory allows it to run the GPT-3 175B benchmark on fewer GPUs while achieving excellent per-GPU performance.Taking advantage of larger, higher-bandwidth HBM3e memory, just 64 Blackwell GPUs were able to run in the GPT-3 LLM benchmark without compromising per-GPU performance. The same benchmark run using Hopper needed 256 GPUs.The Blackwell training results follow an earlier submission to MLPerf Inference 4.1, where Blackwell delivered up to 4x more LLM inference performance versus the Hopper generation. Taking advantage of the Blackwell architectures FP4 precision, along with the NVIDIA QUASAR Quantization System, the submission revealed powerful performance while meeting the benchmarks accuracy requirements.Relentless OptimizationNVIDIA platforms undergo continuous software development, racking up performance and feature improvements in training and inference for a wide variety of frameworks, models and applications.In this round of MLPerf training submissions, Hopper delivered a 1.3x improvement on GPT-3 175B per-GPU training performance since the introduction of the benchmark.NVIDIA also submitted large-scale results on the GPT-3 175B benchmark using 11,616 Hopper GPUs connected with NVIDIA NVLink and NVSwitch high-bandwidth GPU-to-GPU communication and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking.NVIDIA Hopper GPUs have more than tripled scale and performance on the GPT-3 175B benchmark since last year. In addition, on the Llama 2 70B LoRA fine-tuning benchmark, NVIDIA increased performance by 26% using the same number of Hopper GPUs, reflecting continued software enhancements.NVIDIAs ongoing work on optimizing its accelerated computing platforms enables continued improvements in MLPerf test results driving performance up in containerized software, bringing more powerful computing to partners and customers on existing platforms and delivering more return on their platform investment.Partnering UpNVIDIA partners, including system makers and cloud service providers like ASUSTek, Azure, Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, Giga Computing, Lambda Labs, Lenovo, Oracle Cloud, Quanta Cloud Technology and Supermicro also submitted impressive results to MLPerf in this latest round.A founding member of MLCommons, NVIDIA sees the role of industry-standard benchmarks and benchmarking best practices in AI computing as vital. With access to peer-reviewed, streamlined comparisons of AI and HPC platforms, companies can keep pace with the latest AI computing innovations and access crucial data that can help guide important platform investment decisions.Learn more about the latest MLPerf results on the NVIDIA Technical Blog.

LEGO Horizon Adventures, launching on PS5 and PC November 14, brings about a new take on Aloys story from her first adventure. Guerrilla and Studio Gobo met with The LEGO Group at their headquarters in Billund, and shared a few behind-the-scenes insights on creating the game. Watch the full video here and continue reading to find out how they built Aloys world, one brick at a time!Play VideoSenior Producer at Studio Gobo, Kat Woolley, talks about what its like to work on a LEGO game and how the story was adapted to fit this playful adventure. Theres a layering of talent, passion, creativity and just joy theres such joy in working on a LEGO game, and especially something like Horizon where there is an effort to bring something quite serious from the world of Horizon over to LEGO Horizon Adventures. We needed to give it that element of funny, of light-hearted, of silly, of play.Horizon is all about the mystery of the origins, especially for Aloy. Its something we tried to replicate in LEGO Horizon Adventures where every character is on their quest for finding a family, building a home and making connections with each other in the story of LEGO Horizon Adventures, Guerrillas Design Director, Stephane Varrault, explains.Creating the worldEverything you come across in LEGO Horizon Adventures is made entirely out of real LEGO bricks, so if you have the right pieces at home, you could rebuild anything from the world, including the machines, the treasure chests, and Mothers Heart!Guerrillas Senior World Artist, Lucas Bolt explained, The world of Horizon Zero Dawn is filled with incredible natural landscapes; its one of the core pillars of the game so thats something that we also had to create for LEGO Horizon Adventures.You can see how everything is made, all the little details, all the little LEGO elements that were used to bring things to life, Joe Kyde, Senior Model Designer at The LEGO Group, adds.Roy Postma, Art Director at Guerrilla, goes on to explain the process of visualizing and developing the Horizon world in LEGO form, We started out in a very realistic way, by rebuilding the original Old World buildings from the Horizon games Then someone sneaked in an official LEGO set in the background, I believe it was the LEGO gas station, and we were looking at it like ah this can work, this is fun! It totally made sense for the Old World to be our LEGO world.Making the machinesMy favorite part of the machine design process is seeing the builds just develop, says Joe. How they naturally evolve from early versions, teams working together to figure out how to solve specific problems, how to get the movement we want, how to get the specific look we want.Throughout development, we started by imagining what a LEGO version of each machine would actually look like, says Studio Gobos Game Design Lead, Too Gonzalaz, with Stephane adding, For every machine, we looked at the traits of the machine, how it would behave in the game, and how can we make it work best with all the LEGO bricks?One of the machines featured in LEGO Horizon Adventures is the Shell-Walker, a crab-like machine responsible for carrying cargo to various cauldrons found in the world. With the Shell-Walker it really came down to its personality, says Too. Its always trying to defend its cargo, so at the end of the day, the Shell-Walker feels like a mean, defensive machine, but at the same time in a funny way.Designing machines with LEGO bricks did not differ too much from how Guerrilla created them originally, as The LEGO Groups Creative Lead, Frdric Andre, explains, We wanted to recreate the machine as detailed as possible, so you start with the skeleton of the machine and then you add all the details into it. Thats also how Guerrilla creates their own machines: they have the skeleton and then they add all the armor plating and everything on top of that.All machines have their own unique, particular personalities and attacks that they do. Theyre very different from one another, so when players are fighting combinations of them it creates really interesting, wacky, fun and creative combat, Too smiles.Customize everythingThe customization is a way for players to express themselves in a fun and charming way, including outfits from Aloys first adventure in LEGO form, or from existing LEGO sets that you may have at home!Stephane explains: One of our main pillars in the game is player freedom, which is why we built systems where no combat is the same, but also why we wanted to provide really open ways to customize your characters and the world. For example, we really wanted Mothers Heart to be a reflection of players creativity to recreate the village of their dreams.Kat gives her view on how some of the outfits found in LEGO Horizon Adventures can completely change the vibe of a cutscene or conversation between characters. It takes what can sometimes be quite serious conversations and just makes them ridiculous if youre dressed as a pig or as a llama.As soon as we realized that the customization options still felt like a quintessential Horizon experience, and that it worked within the game world, it made it feel more free and more fun.Bringing it all togetherIt was pivotal that the co-op experience of LEGO Horizon Adventures worked well to allow players to bounce off each others actions and work together to tackle the wilds.We wanted players to play together and to get in trouble together, shares Too, and Stephane continues, being able to get together, either on the same tv or online, you are now two players, two actors in the same world and that one is responding to your inputs and your actions, so it was the perfect addition to make the experience shine.Whether youre already familiar with Aloys journey, or if this is the first time youre jumping into the franchise; we cant wait for everyones fun character combinations and combat sequences once LEGO Horizon Adventures releases on November 14.

Pokmon Trading Card Game Pocket players will get to trade certain cards come 2025, the Pokmon TCG Pocket operations team announced Wednesday. After launching in late October, Pokmon TCG Pocket has been a wild hit: The game has reportedly made more than $12 million across more than 10 million downloads. Opening booster packs, collecting cards, and then battling with them has been the big draw since the games release date, but trading has always been on the docket. Now, players know when to expect it in January. But the Pokmon TCG Pocket operations team isnt going to open the trading flood gates, instead opting to keep the functionality limited to certain cards.We are planning to gradually expand the selection of cards that are able to be traded, the operations team wrote.The addition of trading is highly anticipated, but it could fundamentally change the game, something that The Pokmon Company acknowledged at a press event held in November. We know introducing trading into a game all about collection is going to have significant implications, a Pokmon Company representative said at the preview event. We want to see how people are playing the game and what the best way we could do this in a way that makes sense for TCG Pocket would be.While trading is still a few months out, though, the Pokmon TCG Pocket team did say Wednesday that it plans to add new booster packs by the end of the year, but did not specify a date. Other new features are in development, too, which the company plans to announce more in the future.

If you failed your Ticketmaster check on tickets to Dimension 20s sold-out Madison Square Garden show, you now have a chance to reroll. Fans of Dropouts flagship actual play can now enter a lottery for reduced-price Dimensioneer tickets by visiting their website.Earlier this year, the independent streamer announced itd be doing what no actual play had done before: playing Dungeons & Dragons on the worlds most famous stage. That plan came with controversy, as the overwhelming surge of fans rushing the site triggered Ticketmasters Dynamic Pricing model. Tickets priced between $80 and $200-plus jumped up to as much as $2500, sparking outrage from the fanbase.If you haven't been able to get tickets for our upcoming live show, Dimension 20: Gauntlet at the Garden, good news you can now (actually) submit for the Dimensioneer tickets lottery! pic.twitter.com/piXGwNYqLe Dimension 20 (@dimension20show) November 13, 2024In response, Dropout released a statement saying the average ticket sold for $119 with the dynamic pricing nonsense only impacting a fraction of sales. The same statement instituted the Dimensioneer ticket lottery system, which would give fans who were potentially priced out of the event an opportunity to see the show at a budget price. Dropout also initially stated it would opt out of using the dynamic pricing model for its upcoming West Coast Tour, though it later clarified that 150 tickets for the Hollywood Bowl show would be subject to dynamic pricing, stating on Twitter that 100% of the uplift (minus fees) would be donated to the LA County Parks Foundation.Lottery submissions for a limited number of $35 tickets will be open through Nov. 17 at 5 p.m. ET. The lucky winners will be informed via email on the evening of November 22. According to Dimension 20s post on social media, Dimensioneer seat locations will be randomly assigned throughout the venue, including Upper Level and Floor level seating. Winners will not know what their view of the stage will be the company says Dimensioneer ticket locations will only be revealed on the night of the show.The Madison Square Garden show, Gauntlet at the Garden, will be a one-night-only event set in the Unsleeping City, Dimension 20s magical twist on New York City. The first two seasons of Unsleeping City tackle the citys historical issues with oppressive city planner Robert Moses, and more modern-day issues like megacorporations and isolation. Season 1 is available on Youtube, with the second season exclusively on Dropout.tv.

Workplace specialists Area, noted for creating personalized spaces throughout Europe, applied this expertise to the design of their new London office, which captures the magic of the city and boasts a range of diverse rooms and furnishings.Located in the Bridge House building, next to Borough Market and steps to the London Bridge tube station, the 4,000-square-foot office brings the vibrancy of the city, and convenience, to Areas employees. We wanted an amenity-rich space, with a choice of spaces that support all of our activities, says James Geekie, group design director at Area.There is a clear demarcation between the work zone and entrance. As visitors step inside of the workplace, they are surrounded by sophisticated dark hues in the front section, and treated to glimpses of the lively office as everyone moves about during the day. This simple division allows guests and clients to enjoy their experience without disrupting the staff, perfectly balancing transparency and privacy.With desk space for 40, the architects can work at tables with various heights, look at fabric samples, or review plans in plenty of natural light. Individuals can also complete tasks in focus rooms. These quieter spots are complete with acoustic felt panels which help to reduce noise. Placed on ledges and on the floor of the office, potted plants provide welcome touches of nature and fresh pops of green color which complement the firms own signature verdant hue.The kitchen, surprisingly, is the central hub of Areas workspace. Situated at the back of the building next to a fire escape in the original plan, it inadvertently obstructed collaboration among colleagues. By transforming this particular sector, it is now a place that fosters interaction, where people can naturally gather to share meals or conversation. The designers chose what they describe as a mature color palette for most of the areas, but they played with bolder shades and texture in the galley. Glazed ceramic tiles in indigo adorn the walls, while fluted pieces in a rich terracotta tint surround the islands base, adding dimension.Every meeting room has a distinct look and color scheme, like the boardroom, which is utilized for key meetings. Highlighted in muted purple and gray, the interior is conducive to key decision-making sessions. The lounge room, meanwhile, is reminiscent of a hospitality setting. Decorated with a tropical motif wallpaper and furnished with soft seating, its a mini oasis.Areas London space is more than a typical architecture studio, it reflects their ethos. Weve built a space that meets our business needs, but it has also emphasized our culture and unique energy. Our people want to be here, Geekie adds.For more information on Area, visit area.co.uk.Photography by Henry Woide.
