According to the news of IT Home on November 16, the industry's leading scientific research institutions, the National Supercomputing Center of the United States and many leading companies in the field of AI have recently jointly established the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC), with the goal of jointly promoting AI models for scientific discovery, with a special focus on giant models with one trillion or more parameters. The TPC Alliance is currently developing scalable model architectures and training strategies, organizing and curating scientific data for model training, and optimizing AI libraries for current and future exascale computing platforms. TPC also aims to create a global network of resources, data, and expertise. Since its inception, the consortium has established a number of working groups to address the complexities of building large-scale AI models. Exascale computing resources required for training will be provided by several U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories and several TPC founding partners in Japan, Europe, and other countries.

Odaily Planet Daily News Bart Stephens, co-founder of the encryption venture capital firm Blockchain Capital, suffered a SIM card exchange attack in May this year, losing $6.3 million worth of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Stephens has filed a lawsuit against the "perpetrator" hacker Jane Doe. It is understood that SIM swapping attacks typically rely on hacking manipulation or "social engineering" to trick mobile phone network customer service operators into divulging victims' personal information. The hackers then use that information to pass security tests, porting the victim's phone number to a new SIM card and phone under their control. (Forbes)
