Helios

AMD partners with Cerebras on a disaggregated inference approach for AI, launching the Helios server system to compete with Nvidia. The system is adopted by AI labs and cloud companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Microsoft.

AMD will start shipping the Helios system, which integrates its GPUs, CPUs, networking chips, and software, to customers like Microsoft later this year. The system is positioned as the first real competitor to Nvidia's dominance in AI.

AMD has launched Helios, its first AI rack system designed to compete with Nvidia, and secured Microsoft as a new customer, joining companies like Meta, OpenAI, and Oracle.

A quantum computer named Helios, using 98 atoms suspended in a Colorado lab, achieves high accuracy in quantum information processing. The system employs electric fields and near-absolute-zero cooling to manipulate atomic states.

Orbit Robotics developed Helios, a four-armed robot designed for microgravity environments to assist astronauts in spacecraft. The robot uses two pairs of arms for anchoring and handling tools, leveraging a tendon-driven system and rolling-contact joints to ensure stability and precision in orbit.

Plug-in solar panels (no electrician needed) are now legal in the UK and will go on sale soon. Helios uses UK government LIDAR data to estimate electricity generation for specific addresses, though it has limitations in areas outside LIDAR coverage and may miss recent developments or tree shading.

Galaxy Digital, led by Mike Novogratz, reported a $216 million first-quarter loss due to declining crypto prices and a 20% drop in the crypto market. The company's performance was further impacted by weaker asset values, though Helios data center revenue showed potential.
