Startup formed by former Intel engineers and backed by AMD legendary chip designer wants to become the Arm of RISC-V

AheadComputing has raised $21.5M to develop a 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor Led by ex-Intel engineers, it sees RISC-V disrupting x86 and Arm dominance The company plans rapid growth, focusing on licensing, AI, cloud, and mobile A startup created in 2024 by former Intel engineers is betting on RISC-V becoming the dominant computing architecture of the future. Portland, Oregon based AheadComputing has raised $21.5 million in seed funding led by Eclipse, with participation from Jim Keller. The veteran chip designer is the mastermind behind AMD's Zen architecture and Tesla's original self-driving chip, and is currently the CEO of Tenstorrent, one of our 10 hottest AI hardware companies to follow in 2025 . AheadComputing believes that "everyone deserves a better computer" and that the shift away from proprietary architectures is inevitable. It plans to develop 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor architecture and "push the boundaries of what's possible in comput...

This $12,000 laptop comes with 24TB RAID-0 SSD storage, 128GB of RAM, and Intel's most powerful mobile CPU - but no Nvidia RTX 5090M GPU

Eurocom Raptor X17 laptop is built for AI, cybersecurity, and high-end simulations. A 17.3-inch monster with advanced cooling features And with 128GB RAM, even heavy workloads run smoothly Eurocom, known for its powerful but expensive laptops, such as the Sky X4C , has released the Raptor X17, a mobile workstation which supports up to 24TB of NVMe SSD storage across three M.2 slots, including two PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 5.0 drive. On the Raptor X17's configuration page , Eurocom says its new laptop is designed for professionals handling intensive workloads such as AI tools training, cybersecurity, and large-scale simulations. At its heart is Intel’s Core i9-14900HX, a 24-core, 32-thread processor built for exceptional computational power, as the Intel HM770 PCIe 4.0 architecture enables high-speed data processing. Eurocom Raptor X17 gets a power-packed upgrade The Raptor X17 features Nvidia’s RTX 4090 mobile GPU with 9,728 CUDA cores and 304 Tensor AI cores. While th...

'Simulating scientists': A new AI tool wants to make serendipitous scientific discovery less human

Scientists have developed a new AI tool to accelerate scientific discoveries LLM4SD explains the reasoning behind its predictions, for transparency Instead of replacing standard machine learning models, LLM4SD improves them An Australian research team led by Monash University has come up with a generative AI tool designed to speed up scientific discoveries. Called LLM4SD (Large Language Model 4 Scientific Discovery), the open source tool retrieves information, analyzes the data, and then generates hypotheses from it. While LLMs are used in natural sciences, their role in scientific discovery remains largely unexplored, and unlike many validation tools, LLM4SD explains its reasoning, making its predictions more transparent (and hopefully cutting down on hallucinations). PhD candidate Yizhen Zheng from Monash University’s Department of Data Science and AI explains, “Just like ChatGPT writes essays or solves math problems, our LLM4SD tool reads decades of scientific literature...

Android's Find My Device can now let you track your friends – and I can't decide if that's cool or creepy

Google Pixel Feature drop adds people tracking to Find My Device You can share your location with friends and family It'll appear as a separate tab to your devices As part of the March Pixel Feature Drop – and Android update – Google Pixel phones (in particular the Google Pixel 9 ) received a handful of new tools. But one in particular has occupied my thoughts because I’m not sure if I love it or hate: Find My Device’s new people tracking. Find My Device is Android’s version of Apple’s Find My network. It gathers all of your connected Bluetooth devices and the Android products you’ve signed into and gives you an easy way to quickly locate those gadgets, using directions to their last location or making them play a chime so you can hear where they're lost. That's all par for the course but the new tool lets you hunt down people, too. Well, it lets friends and family hunt you down specifically via the new People tab (which is currently in beta) if you choose to sh...

Lost & Found tracking site hit by major data breach - over 800,000 could be affected

A travel tracking software firm has suffered a data breach The researcher discovered 10 open Lost & Found databases Over 800,000 Lost & Found customers could be exposed A dataset containing 820,750 records totaling 122GB has been discovered online, most likely belonging to German tracking software firm Lost & Found, which primarily services the aviation industry. As revealed by security researcher, Jeremiah Fowler , this was in an unprotected and publicly exposed dataset of 14 databases in total, 10 that were accessible and 4 that were restricted. Within these, the researcher found shipping labels, lost item reports, and screenshots, ranging from personal electronics, wallets, bags, medical devices, and other personal effects travelers often take on flights. That’s not all though, as a number of personally identifiable documents were also included, such as passport scans, drivers licenses, employment documents, and more. The researcher suggests these could either ...
