Meet Mycroft – World’s 1st Open Source Artificial Intelligence Based on Linux, Raspberry Pi and Arduino (CTNews)

Mycroft makes use of natural language processing for listening to your commands and run world’s first open source and open hardware home A.I. platform. Talking about the plus points, this state of art A.I. based on the world’s most popular open development platforms- Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

You can use Mycroft to control your music streaming apps, YouTube playback and your smart devices. The Internet of Things devices could be easily integrated with Mycroft.

On its Kickstarter page, Mycroft writes:

Mycroft is an open source, open hardware platform that allows the makers and developers to fiddle with their innovative ideas and use Mycroft to turn those into reality. Since Mycroft is powered by Raspberry Pi 2 and makes use of an Arduino powered display, there are tons of tutorials and other useful material online to learn from.

Let’s know some more facts about Mycroft and how it’s going to change the things in the AI market: Mycroft is affordable and priced just at $129 per unit, thanks to open hardware. Mycroft uses lots of open APIs to process language input and then determines the output. So, a major chunk of Mycroft’s processing is done in the cloud using open APIs, the company doesn’t need to build their deep learning neural network. This reduces the cost of the project even further.

More open source? Mycroft has also announced its partnership with Ubuntu and it’ll be using Snappy Core Ubuntu as its OS. With this partnership with canonical, Mycroft aims to be a part of the current IoT and cloud revolution. Know more about Mycroft here on its Kickstarter page.

IBM and GENCI team up to work on next-Gen Exascale Computin (CTNews)

IBM and GENCI collaborate to work on Next-Gen Exascale Computing The Joint venture aims at developing scientific applications that would succeed in taking the supercomputing to a billion calculations per second which is also termed as “Exascale computing”. International Business Machines Corporation, commonly known as IBM, is a well known American multinational corporation which has teamed up with a French high-performance computing agency known as GENCI, to work on next-Gen “Exascale Computing”. GENCI was established by the government of France in the year 2007. The main aim behind this establishment was to ensure proper coordination of the major equipment of the high performing computing centers of France by providing them the essential funds. Besides France also wanted to be among the leading international countries who were into the development of next-Gen computing technologies. What is Exascale computing: Computer scientists expl...
