According to TechFlow, on July 23, Cointelegraph reported that artificial intelligence platform developer SingularityNET announced an investment of $53 million in a modular supercomputer, focusing on decentralized artificial general intelligence (AGI). The first phase will invest $26.5 million and use Ecoblox modular data centers and high-performance hardware from companies such as Nvidia and AMD. The supercomputer will optimize the training of deep neural networks and large language models, and promote AGI's continuous learning and self-improvement.
“The recent dramatic advances in AI are the result of a convergence of multiple factors, including sophisticated learning algorithms and cognitive architectures, as well as massive amounts of data, processing infrastructure, and energy,” said Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET.
