AI platform accelerates de-extinction work as new fund backs its adopters
Colossal's new AI platform aims to speed up de-extinction work, and Peter Diamandis has launched a fund to back startups that adopt it. This pairing of technology and capital could turn ambitious rewilding projects into practical workflows. We see a pattern here: just as Apple TV 4K's Siri AI transforms your viewing experience starting November 13, Colossal is betting AI can reshape what's possible in biology. Explore our coverage of that story for another look at AI-driven transformation.
How to Turn 200 Team Members Into AI Agents in Two Weeks
Turning 200 team members into AI agents in two weeks sounds improbable, yet Ben Maraney and Forter pulled it off. Their approach is refreshingly practical: custom MCP servers, a blend of no-code and code-based platforms, and a direct path that sidesteps complex RAG setups. By aligning security and legal teams early, they accelerated internal adoption across R&D. It's a grounded example of making AI creation accessible for technical and non-technical staff alike.
Simplify multi-GPU training with automatic batch size tuning.
Finding the right batch size shouldn't require babysitting your GPUs. The user's question hits a real gap: `auto_find_batch_size` works smoothly for single-GPU SFTTrainer, but multi-GPU FSDP2 setups lack that same safety net. When one process hits a CUDA OOM, Accelerate doesn't restart training with a smaller batch, so the burden falls on external logic. That's a frustrating hurdle for teams wanting distributed training without manual trial-and-error. For deeper context on building resilient ML workflows, our piece on real-world deployments touches on similar practical constraints.
