AI Factories Are Redefining Data Centers and Enabling the Next Era of AI
AI is fueling a new industrial revolution — one driven by AI factories. Unlike traditional data centers, AI factories do more than store and process data — they manufacture intelligence at scale, transforming raw data into real-time insights. For enterprises and countries around the world, this means dramatically faster time to value — turning AI

Explaining Tokens — the Language and Currency of AI
Under the hood of every AI application are algorithms that churn through data in their own language, one based on a vocabulary of tokens. Tokens are tiny units of data that come from breaking down bigger chunks of information. AI models process tokens to learn the relationships between them and unlock capabilities including prediction, generation

How Scaling Laws Drive Smarter, More Powerful AI
Just as there are widely understood empirical laws of nature — for example, what goes up must come down, or every action has an equal and opposite reaction — the field of AI was long defined by a single idea: that more compute, more training data and more parameters makes a better AI model. However,

What Is Extended Reality?
Extended reality, or XR, is an umbrella category comprised of immersive technologies, including virtual, augmented and mixed reality.
What Is Robotics Simulation?
Robots are moving goods in warehouses, packaging foods and helping assemble vehicles — bringing enhanced automation to use cases across industries. There are two keys to their success: Physical AI and robotics simulation. Physical AI describes AI models that can understand and interact with the physical world. Physical AI embodies the next wave of autonomous

What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation, aka RAG?
Editor’s note: This article, originally published on November 15, 2023, has been updated. To understand the latest advance in generative AI, imagine a courtroom. Judges hear and decide cases based on their general understanding of the law. Sometimes a case — like a malpractice suit or a labor dispute — requires special expertise, so judges
