AI slows down: lack of computational power hinders development

The lack of computational power hinders the development of artificial intelligence. OpenAI faces challenges in developing new products such as an improved ChatGPT with visual recognition and new versions of DALL-E and Sora. The increasing complexity of AI models requires enormous computational capacity, which slows down innovation and the launch of new features on the market.

AI slows down: lack of computational power hinders development

The popularity of artificial intelligence is growing and permeating more and more areas of our lives. However, despite rapid progress, it seems that even this technological marvel is hitting its limits. The lack of computational power is becoming an obstacle and prevents developers from developing new tools.

Insufficient computational power won't be resolved soon

Training and operating complex artificial intelligence models require enormous computational power. With the increasing complexity of these models, which are capable of generating increasingly realistic texts, images, and videos, the consumption of powerful computers and specialized hardware is also growing.

OpenAI, one of the leaders in the AI field, has openly admitted that the lack of computational power is one of the main factors slowing down development and the launch of new products. The originally promised improvement to ChatGPT's conversational function with visual recognition, called Advanced Voice Mode, is thus postponed indefinitely.

DALL-E and Sora: when can we expect new versions?

The development of other OpenAI products, such as the image generator DALL-E and the video generator Sora, is also not without problems. The company has not yet announced any release date for the new version of DALL-E. Sora, which faces technical challenges and competition from other systems, is also delayed.

The reason is again the lack of computational power and the need for further model improvements. OpenAI is already planning to build additional data centers, but even there it faces problems. In addition to a lack of funding, ecology also plays a role in development. Scientists are increasingly pointing out that artificial intelligence significantly contributes to the growth of the carbon footprint.

Connecting to the internet today is not just a matter of speed but also of trust. Networks handle more and more devices, sensitive data, and services that communicate almost constantly. This is why an approach called zero trust has emerged, where nothing is automatically considered safe. The article explains why this model was created and how it subtly influences everyday internet functioning.

It happens that the battery life decreases faster than one would expect, even when the device is not particularly stressed during the day. Often, it's not a single specific error but a sum of small influences that gradually accumulate. This article explains what has the greatest impact on battery life, when idle draining occurs, and why this can turn into an issue causing the phone not to last even one day.

Connecting to the internet during a flight is no longer an exception, but it still doesn't work as you're used to at home. In-flight Wi-Fi depends on the technology used, the type of aircraft, and network congestion, and paying for access doesn't always mean fast connection. In this article, we'll explain how in-flight internet works, why it can be slow, and when you can rely on it.

RCS chat is appearing more frequently in mobile devices, especially with the arrival of iOS 18 and the gradual phasing out of older networks. It is a method of communication that uses the internet, offering higher quality sharing of photos and videos than traditional SMS. We'll explain what RCS means and when it makes sense to keep it enabled.

A first mobile phone can make a child's communication and daily orientation easier, but it also opens topics that are good to address in advance. These include safety, sharing, communication, or screen time. How to prepare a child for their first phone so that they use it safely, calmly, and wisely?

Cities around the world are seeing an increase in autonomous vehicles as part of their transportation systems. However, their reliability varies significantly by region. We will explore where this technology is already commonly transporting passengers and what autonomous driving means in practice today.
