In January of 2023, U.S. and European Union government representatives signed an administrative agreement that would bring artificial intelligence (AI) experts together to collaborate and advance AI research, compute technology, and related privacy and data protection elements. This agreement represents a step towards addressing the goals enumerated in the recent U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council (TCC) commitment penned in December of 2022. The effort emphasizes responsible advancement and use of AI “to address major global challenges” in five key areas: Extreme Weather and Climate Forecasting, Emergency Response Management, Health and Medicine Improvements, Electric Grid Optimization, and Agriculture Optimization.

Cerebras Announces Capability to Train Largest Models Easily
Alex Norton and Thomas Sorensen
In mid-June of 2022, Cerebras Systems announced a new feature that allows users to train some of the largest AI models in the world within a single CS-2 machine using a simplified software support scheme. The announcement highlights multiple capabilities that Cerebras sees as their competitive advantages over other companies. Notable examples cited include the ability to accommodate an entire training model within the memory, through Cerebras' Weight Streaming software on the Wafer Scale Engine (WSE), instead of splitting it across processors, as well as the ability for users to manipulate a few inputs within the software scheme and GUI to choose the scale of model desired for training (i.e., GPT-3 13B, GPT-3XL 1.3B). Cerebras claims that this advancement can cut down the setup of large model training runs from months to minutes, with the Cerebras software managing much of the initial setup.

49% of HPC Sites Indicate That AI Expertise Is the Number One Barrier to Increased AI Adoption and Usage
Tom Sorensen and Earl Joseph
Expertise is now a major concern for both HPC and AI centers, outranked only by budget concerns. When asked about barriers to furthering AI capabilities, AI-specific expertise was a significant concern. Popular responses included access to AI expertise (49%), skills in AI model development (47%), and skills in AI programming (36%). This development comes at a time when a third of HPC sites (33%) report a lack of knowledge or skilled staff and identified this issue among their top three barriers to expanding on-premises HPC. This data is from the eighth annual study of Hyperion Research's high-performance computing (HPC) end-user-based tracking of the HPC marketplace. It included 181 HPC end-user sites with 3,830 HPC systems.
