China's internet giants Baidu, ByteDance, Tencent, and Alibaba have reportedly ordered $5bn worth of Nvidia chips crucial for developing generative AI systems. The companies plan to purchase 100,000 A800 processors this year and more GPUs in 2024. Nvidia is offering these processors in China to comply with export control regulations after U.S. officials demanded a halt to exports of the company's top computer chips for AI-related work in the country. The news comes after President Biden signed an executive order limiting U.S. investment in China's sensitive technology sectors.

Read full article about: ChatGPT beats Bing and Bard at answering physiology case studies for medical education
A study comparing the performance of OpenAI's ChatGPT (GPT-3.5), Google Bard, and Microsoft Bing (Precision mode) in answering 77 physiology case vignettes showed that ChatGPT significantly outperformed the others (ChatGPT 3.19±0.3, Bard 2.91±0.5, Bing Chat 2.15±0.6, on a scale of 0 to 4). Two physiologists independently scored the responses of the LLMs for accuracy.
While the results highlight the potential for incorporating AI systems into medical education, the study acknowledges the need for further research to determine the effectiveness of these models in different medical fields. It's also possible that specific AI models fine-tuned for medical tasks will win the race, such as Google's recently unveiled Med-PaLM M, which also incorporates vision.
