… To Boost Data Center Performance
The AI race switched gears after Chinese AI startup DeepSeek announced on March 25 that it released a major upgrade to its V3 LLM, intensifying competition with US rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic.
The new model, DeepSeek-V3-0324, is available through the AI development platform, Hugging Face as part of the company’s latest efforts to position itself as a leader in the global AI market. DeepSeek claims that the upgrade brings major improvements in reasoning and coding capabilities.
The development comes a day after OpenAI released updates for the Advanced Voice Mode AI feature, which allows for real-time conversation in ChatGPT.
“An OpenAI spokesperson said its new AI voice assistant for paying users is “more direct, engaging, concise, specific, and creative in its answers.”
Elsewhere, fintech Ant Group, backed by Jack Ma, claimed that it was able to develop methods using Chinese chips that trim AI training costs by 20%. This update could hint that Chinese AI developers might be able to gradually reduce reliance on top AI chips manufactured in the US.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. uses AI in its electronic design, manufacturing, and testing solutions to streamline complex testing data analysis and achieve faster and more accurate identification of signal and power integrity issues in the automotive, aerospace, and communications industries.
On March 24, Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that it would showcase its emulation and testing solutions at the OFC 2025 between April 1st and 3rd. The latest innovations around optical transmission and data center interconnect will include its 448 Gbps AWG-driven transmission capabilities as well as photonic IC and 1.6 Interconnect testing systems, which are designed to optimize AI data center performance.
