The FBI has pointed the finger at North Korea for what they're calling the largest cryptocurrency heist in history. The target? The Bybit cryptocurrency exchange, with losses estimated at a staggering $1.5 billion. This news comes amidst other tech developments, including updates on Nvidia's RTX 5000 series GPUs and the rise of Generative AI.
Corsair Backs Nvidia's RTX 5000 GPU
In other news, Corsair is standing by Nvidia's RTX 5000 GPUs. The company has confirmed that only a single one of their prebuilt PCs, equipped with the RTX 5000, experienced a chip-level fault. This supports Nvidia's claim that the issue is an exceptionally rare occurrence.
Corsair is essentially guaranteeing that their prebuilt PCs with RTX 5000 cards aren't affected by the potential hardware-level GPU fault, reinforcing Nvidia's assertion that it's a rare glitch. This is reassuring news for gamers and professionals who rely on these powerful GPUs.
Unlocking Generative AI with Nvidia's RTX 50 Series
Are you new to the world of Generative AI? Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs might just be your gateway. These GPUs offer a powerful platform for exploring generative AI right on your PC. From running large language models (LLMs) to enjoying AI-enhanced games, the RTX 50 series makes AI more accessible than ever before.
So, what exactly is Generative AI? It's become an umbrella term for various AI technologies. When you input a prompt into your AI engine, specialized AI programs, or "models," jump into action. These models excel at specific tasks, like recognizing patterns in language, images, and code. They can also collaborate to tackle more complex problems.
Running these models locally on your PC, powered by a GeForce RTX 50 Series card, offers several advantages. According to Nvidia, this includes "costs are relatively fixed, processing is generally faster compared to cloud-based AI, and if you’re concerned about security, running AI locally means you don’t have to upload proprietary data to someone else’s servers."
Getting Started with Generative AI
Downloading and running generative AI models locally used to be a challenge, but now, user-friendly tools are available. One popular option is Ollama, which simplifies running open models locally and leveraging the full potential of your GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU.
To begin, download the latest version of Ollama and install it. Then, open a Terminal window and type ollama run llama3.2. This will download one of Meta's smaller Llama LLMs, allowing you to start experimenting with prompts. When you're done, type /bye to exit. For AI image generation, Stable Diffusion is another excellent option.
And don't forget about DLSS 4! This suite of AI tools enables high-refresh rate 4K gaming, even in advanced ray-tracing games. Nvidia claims DLSS Multi Frame Generation can boost performance up to 8x compared to traditional rendering.
While Nvidia's DLSS 4 is creating waves, AMD's improved upscaling tech, FSR 4, could be a game-changer too. The competition is heating up in the GPU market, promising exciting advancements for gamers and AI enthusiasts alike.
