3D scanning cadavers to make photorealistic models of human anatomy

Researchers at Monash University have developed a program to create photorealistic, 3D-printed replicas of dissected body parts.
The program aims to bridge the gap between anatomy textbooks and cadavers in medical and allied health education.
Using 3D scanning and printing technology, the researchers have created durable resin replicas of human tissue prosections.
These photorealistic models provide a closer match to the reality of human tissue and can be used in areas where real tissues are not accessible.

How Cerebras is breaking the GPU bottleneck on AI inference

Cerebras Systems has launched its third-generation chip, the Wafer-Scale Engine 2 (WSE 2), a revolutionary AI processor that delivers enhanced performance and efficiency in process inference tasks.
Cerebras aims to disrupt the AI market, which has long been dominated by Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs), and Groq, a startup that provides advanced AI-specialized compute hardware.
The new product offers a competitive alternative to Nvidia's offerings in AI inference, where fast processing and efficiency are more important.
This article explains how Cerebras’ new product is a challenge to Nvidia's dominance, and how it stacks up against those of Groq.
While Nvidia's GPUs have been dominant in the training of large language models (LLMs) until now, Cerebras' new processor is aimed at the inference process by which a trained AI model evaluates new data and produces accurate results.
Cerebras’ chip is designed to handle heavy inference workloads that GPUs usually consume considerable power and generate higher levels of heat, making them expensive to maintain.
Cerebras is positioning itself as a competitive solution with its affordable pricing starting at just 10 cents per million tokens and the capability to handle huge workloads without having to network.
The new Cerebras chip is considerably larger, at 56x larger than the biggest GPUs, making it the physically largest neural network chip ever produced.
Cerebras’ recent chip launch is drawing industry attention, and several industry leaders are lauding its technology.
Enterprise decision-makers need to navigate an evolving landscape given the emergence of Cerebras and Groq, which offer compelling new alternatives to Nvidia.

Building a RAG with Supabase Vector & OpenAI

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines a large language model (LLM) with a knowledge retriever, improving accuracy and contextual understanding.
To build an image-based RAG, the image is uploaded and stored in Supabase Storage, and a description is generated using Azure OpenAI.
The description is converted into vector embeddings for search functionality using Azure OpenAI, and the embeddings are saved in Supabase Vector.
A user-friendly interface can be added using Streamlit to make the RAG system more accessible.
