🚗 Tesla starts production of Dojo supercomputer to train driverless cars
Tesla has started production of its Dojo supercomputer, which is designed to train its self-driving cars. Dojo is expected to be one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, with a peak performance of 1.8 exaflops.
Tesla says Dojo will help it to train its self-driving cars more quickly and efficiently, which could lead to the company's self-driving technology becoming more reliable and safer.

🐍 Introducing Python in Excel
Microsoft has announced the general availability of Python in Excel, a new feature that allows users to run Python code directly in Excel. Python in Excel is a powerful tool that can be used for data analysis, visualization, and automation.
Python in Excel is available to all Microsoft 365 subscribers.
👩🔬 Announcing AI2 OLMo, an Open Language Model Made by Scientists, for Scientists
The Allen Institute for AI (AI2) is developing an open-source language model called AI2 OLMo (Open Language Model). AI2 OLMo will be a 70 billion parameter model, comparable in scale to other state-of-the-art large language models.
AI2 OLMo will be specifically designed for scientific understanding and discovery.
🦙 Introducing Code Llama, a state-of-the-art large language model for coding
Meta AI introduces Code Llama, a large language model (LLM) for coding. Code Llama can generate code, and natural language about code, from both code and natural language prompts.
Code Llama is state-of-the-art for publicly available LLMs on code tasks, and has the potential to make workflows faster and more efficient for current developers and lower the barrier to entry for people who are learning to code.
