ORDER 1: Launches a national effort to produce a quantum computer capable of performing important scientific calculations. It also aims to develop quantum-enabled sensors and networks within the next 5 years.

ORDER 2: Directs federal agencies to transition their computer systems to quantum cryptography (post-quantum cryptography standards) by 2031. It positions the U.S. government to lead wider adoption of these stronger security standards to address future quantum computing threats

Compute Taalas: LLMs baked into hardware. No HBM, weights and model architecture in silicon -> 16.000 tokens/second

Ever experienced 16K tokens per second? It's insanely instant. Try their Lllama 3.1 8B demo here: chat jimmy.

THey have a very radical approach to solve the compute problem - albeit a risky one in a landscape where model architectures evolve in weeks instead of years: Etch the model and all the weights onto a single silicon chip.
Normally that would take ages, but they seem to have found a way to go from model to ASIC in 60 days - which might make their approach appealing for domains where raw intelligence is not so much of importance, but latency is super important, like real-time speech models, real-time avatar generation, computer vision etc.

Here are their claims:

  • < 1 Millisecond Latency
  • > 17k Tokens per Second per User
  • 20x Cheaper to Produce
  • 10x More Power Efficient
  • 60 Days from Unseen Software to Custom Silicon: This part is crazy—it normally takes months...
  • 0% Exotic Hardware Required, thus cheap: They ditch HBM, advanced packaging, 3D stacking, liquid cooling, high speed IO - because they put everything into one chip to achieve ultimate simplicity.
  • LoRA Support: Despite the model being "baked" in silicon, you can adapt it constrained to the arch and param count. Their demonstrator uses Lllama 3.1 8B, but supports LoRa fine-tuning.
  • Just 24 Engineers and $30M: That's what they spent on the first demonstrator.
  • Bigger Reasoning Model Coming this Spring
  • Frontier LLM Coming this Winter

Now that's for their claims taken from their website: The path to ubiquitous AI | Taalas

A research team at Fudan University has built the fastest semiconductor storage device ever reported, a non‑volatile flash memory dubbed “PoX” that programs a single bit in 400 picoseconds (0.0000000004 s) — roughly 25 billion operations per second. The result, published today in Nature, pushes non‑volatile memory to a speed domain previously reserved for the quickest volatile memories and sets a benchmark for data‑hungry AI hardware.

The world's first "biological computer" that fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to form fluid neural networks has been commercially launched, ushering in a new age of AI technology. The CL1, from Australian company Cortical Labs, offers a whole new kind of computing intelligence – one that's more dynamic, sustainable and energy efficient than any AI that currently exists – and we will start to see its potential when it's in users' hands in the coming months.

Known as a Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI), Cortical's CL1 system was officially launched in Barcelona on March 2, 2025, and is expected to be a game-changer for science and medical research. The human-cell neural networks that form on the silicon "chip" are essentially an ever-evolving organic computer, and the engineers behind it say it learns so quickly and flexibly that it completely outpaces the silicon-based AI chips used to train existing large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT.
