Kioxia Launches AI-Optimized SSD Technology

Kioxia has introduced its AiSAQ product at CES, aiming to replace traditional memory with SSDs for AI applications, which could reduce costs and allow for larger models despite potential speed trade-offs. In agriculture, Chris Walker, CEO of Untether AI, emphasizes the crucial need for increased computing power to leverage AI technologies like precision spraying and pest detection effectively, indicating that advancements in chip technology are essential for practical applications. Additionally, an AI-powered uncrop tool from insMind allows users to restore and enhance cropped images seamlessly, solving common photo editing challenges. Meanwhile, the DePIN project Grass has gained traction by allowing users to monetize their idle internet bandwidth, processing 90TB of data daily and generating significant revenue, which it plans to share with its node operators. Grass's token has appreciated significantly since its launch, indicating strong market interest and performance. The project aims to enhance its capabilities further by introducing 'Live Context Retrieval' technology in 2025, which will improve the specificity of AI models with time-sensitive data.
