arable land and could become the climate-smart global food basket if matched with the right financing.

Africa holds 40% of the world’s solar energy potential—and yet receives just a fraction of the capital needed to unlock it. This is not just an inefficiency. It’s a failure of capital architecture—and a threat to global climate progress. Similarly, Africa is home to 65% of unused.

Three years after the AI Big Bang early galaxies are forming in the Cloud AI universe, with plenty of “dark matter” still swirling. And Big Bangs are hard to ignore, thus competitive intensity is at an all-time high. 1/5.

There's a sense of community about many of these mods, says Steve Vincent, who runs the VintNerd channel on YouTube. He points to the Fujinet, an open-source device that plugs into eight-bit systems and gives them modern capabilities, including a TCP/IP stack and Wi-Fi. 1/2.

AMD’s MI series chips use a 5nm node, similarly designed for high-performance AI training and inference. Intel’s newer AI chips also use 7nm or slightly smaller nodes, comparable to the MARS1000. (4/6).

For example, Nvidia’s top AI processors like the Hopper H100 operate on a 4nm process, which allows higher transistor density and power efficiency for intensive data center workloads. (3/6).

Compared to leading AI chips from global players, it is not the smallest node but strikes a good balance between performance and cost-efficiency. (2/6).

Malaysia builds an #AI chip. The MARS1000 AI chip from Malaysia is built on a 7-nanometer process technology, placing it at a relatively advanced level for edge AI devices. (1/6).

The new requirement applies to all apps on "certified" Android devices, including those distributed outside the Google Play Store through sideloading. (2/2).

Google will soon require all Android app developers to verify their identities before users can install their apps, marking one of the most significant changes to Android's open app ecosystem since its inception. (1/2).
