String theory attempts to unify general relativity and quantum theory. Popular in the 1990s, string theory fell out of favor as it failed to provide testable predictions and required ten dimensions ...

Physicists may have uncovered a surprising new clue that string theory—the idea that the universe is built from unimaginably tiny vibrating strings—could be more than just a mathematical fantasy.

Forward-looking: Intel is pitching a new way to pack game textures that leans heavily on neural networks but still nods to traditional block compression. The company's Texture Set Neural Compression, ...

Intel and Nvidia showed off their respective AI-powered texture-compression technologies over the weekend, demonstrating impressive reductions in VRAM use while maintaining texture quality, or even ...

Google said this week that its research on a new compression method could reduce the amount of memory required to run large language models by six times. SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron shares fell as ...

If Google’s AI researchers had a sense of humor, they would have called TurboQuant, the new, ultra-efficient AI memory compression algorithm announced Tuesday, “Pied Piper” — or, at least that’s what ...

Even if you don’t know much about the inner workings of generative AI models, you probably know they need a lot of memory. Hence, it is currently almost impossible to buy a measly stick of RAM without ...

AI has a growing memory problem. Google thinks it's found the answer, and it doesn't require more or better hardware. Originally detailed in an April 2025 paper, TurboQuant is an advanced compression ...
