… MORE CONTEXT PCs and phones to get more boring and expensive in 2026 thanks to memory drought Memory scalpers hunt scarce DRAM with bot blitz Apple's budget-friendly MacBook Neo is bursting with color and compromise HP says memory's contribution to PC costs just doubled to 35 percent This was noted… …
… Most platforms define vGPU profiles the memory and compute allocation for each VM at creation time. …
… Even with 256 chips per rack, that's only 128 GB of ultra fast memory, which is nowhere near enough for trillion-parameter models like Kimi K2. At 4-bit precision you'd need at least 512 GB of memory or about a thousand LPUs to hold a 1 trillion-parameter model in memory. …
… That compute is tied to a relatively large pool of SRAM memory, which is orders of magnitude faster than the high-bandwidth memory HBM found in GPUs today, but is also incredibly inefficient in terms of space required. Each LPU only has enough die space for 500 MB of on-chip memory. …
… Seagate and Supermicro say a smart AI stack separates short-term memory flash from long-term memory disk and uses each tier for what it does best: Real-time access tiers GPU HBM memory, CPU DRAM, local and network NVMe SSDs : handle the “right now” context — active tokens, hot embeddings, and frequ… …
… In a report published last week, TrendForce predicts TurboQuant will lower the cost of AI infrastructure, and by doing so “spark massive long-sequence application demand, comprehensively driving structural growth and specification upgrades for high-bandwidth, main, and flash memory across cloud and… …
… But perhaps most important is the attention to memory issues in this release. Bun inventor Jared Sumner claims that the runtime uses 5 percent less memory, and that an upgraded memory allocator along with an implementation of Libpas scavenger returns unused memory to the operating system faster. …
AI + ML Cloudflare can remember it for you wholesale Agent Memory stores AI chat scraps off to the side and recalls them when needed Not only is hardware memory scarce these days, but context memory, the conversational data exchanged with AI models, can be an issue too. …
… Memory is already in short supply and HBM is among the scarcest. …
