MAIN COURSE

NVIDIA knows when you'll die 🌪️ ⚡️

On Monday, NVIDIA launched CorrDiff and FourCastNet. These dramatically speed up and improve weather predictions while using far less energy.

What do they do?

CorrDiff offers High-res local forecasts with kilometer-scale detail. FourCastNet performs Quick global predictions using NOAA data.

How much faster are they?

CorrDiff is 500x faster than traditional methods and uses 10,000x less energy. FourCastNet is 5,000x faster for global forecasts.

Why do I care?

Climate disasters caused $62B in losses this year. Better forecasts mean better preparation.

What's it good for?

Insurance companies assessing risk, disaster preparedness teams, and anyone needing detailed weather predictions.

Why is this significant?

It could transform how we predict and respond to extreme weather events, from snowstorms to typhoons.

What's next?

Expect adoption across industries, from agriculture to disaster response.

SIDE SALAD

Your computer is now quantum trash ⚛️ 💻

On Monday, Microsoft and Atom Computing announced their collaboration. They unveiled a breakthrough in reliable quantum computing with 24 error-correcting logical qubits.

What's the big deal?

They've built the largest error-correcting quantum system yet, using neutral atoms controlled by lasers.

How does it work?

Microsoft's “qubit virtualization” creates reliable logical qubits from multiple physical ones, combining with Atom Computing's hardware for better stability.

What can it do?

• Run 24-qubit entangled states with fewer errors

• Compute on 28 logical qubits

• Fix errors and lost qubits during operation

When can we use it?

Orders open now through Azure, with deliveries starting next year.

Why do I care?

It could make quantum computing practical for real-world problems in chemistry and materials science.

How does it compare with others?

While IBM recently made their quantum circuits 50x faster, Microsoft's focusing on reliability and error correction.
