  • Nvidia servers speed up AI models from China’s Moonshoot AI and others tenfold

    Nvidia servers speed up AI models from China’s Moonshoot AI and others tenfold

    SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 3 (Reuters) – Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab on Wednesday published new data showing that its latest artificial intelligence server can improve the performance of new models – including two popular ones from China – by 10 times.
    The data comes as the AI world has shifted its focus from training AI models, where Nvidia dominates the market, to putting them to use for millions of users, where Nvidia faces far more competition from rivals such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.O), opens new tab and Cerebras.

    Nvidia’s data focused on what are known as mixture-of-expert AI models. The technique is a way of making AI models more efficient by breaking up questions into pieces that are assigned to “experts” within the model. That exploded in popularity this year after China’s DeepSeek shocked the world with a high-performing open source model that took less training on Nvidia chips than rivals in early 2025.
    Since then, the mixture-of-experts approach has been adopted by ChatGPT maker OpenAI, France’s Mistral and China’s Moonshoot AI, which in July released a highly-ranked open source model of its own.
    Meanwhile, Nvidia has focused on making the case that while such models might require less training on its chips, its offerings can still be used to serve those models to users.

    Nvidia on Wednesday said that its latest AI server, which packs 72 of its leading chips into a single computer with speedy links between them, improved the performance of Moonshot’s Kimi K2 Thinking model by 10 times compared to the previous generation of Nvidia servers, a similar performance gain to what Nvidia has seen with DeepSeek’s models.

    Nvidia said the gains primarily came from the sheer number of chips it can pack into servers and the fast links between them, an area where Nvidia still has advantages over its rivals.

    Nvidia competitor AMD is working on a similar server packed with multiple powerful chips that it has said will come to market next year.

  • Road tests find no EV in Australia that lives up to its claimed range on a single charge – but one brand came close | Electric vehicles

    Road tests find no EV in Australia that lives up to its claimed range on a single charge – but one brand came close | Electric vehicles

    Electric vehicles are not travelling as far as their manufacturers promise, with independent road tests showing all models analysed have failed to meet their advertised range.

    One popular small car produced the worst EV result to date in the latest tests, pulling up more than 120km short of the distance printed on its sticker. At the other end of the scale, Tesla’s latest Model Y SUV was only a few kilometres short of its claim.

    The Australian Automobile Association released the findings on Thursday with another four electric car road trials held as part of its $14m Real-World Testing Program.

    The results add to a previous round of electric vehicle examinations, in which all five models failed to meet their promised range, and after tests of 131 internal combustion and hybrid vehicles found that 76% consumed more fuel than advertised.

    The association tests vehicles on a 93km track in and around Geelong, Victoria, on urban and rural roads, as well as motorways.

    US car maker Tesla emerged with the best result from all electric car tests to date. Its Model Y SUV fell 16km short of its claimed range of 466km on a single charge.

    By contrast, the MG4 electric hatchback produced the worst result so far, missing its 405km goal by 124km – a shortfall of 31%.

    The Kia EV3 missed its mark by 11% or 67km, and the Smart #1 electric car stopped short by 13% or 53km.

    Comparing the real-world range of electric cars to their laboratory results would be vital for motorists, association managing director Michael Bradley said, as it would help them reach decisions and set expectations.

    “These results give consumers an independent indication of real-world battery range, which means they now know which cars perform as advertised and which do not,” he said.

    “Giving consumers improved information about real-world driving range means buyers can worry less about running out of charge and make the switch to EVs with confidence.”

    The association’s vehicle-testing program, funded by the federal government and launched in 2023, has tested 140 vehicles out of a target of 200, and has found most consume more energy or fuel than promised.

    The Australian testing program was introduced following a 2015 Volkswagen scandal in which the European automaker was discovered using software to alter vehicle emissions during laboratory tests.
