Google has delivered a geometry AI model that now out-performs the best school mathematical olympiads by providing 0.5b examples. The software is available through GitHub and mark a breakthrough into the capacity of AI to solve real world problems.
Custom design AI computer chips need faster and more available compute resources. Along with established NVidia, Intel are new entrants including Tesla Dojo and Cerebras Systems as they focus on hardware and software to increase speed and decrease power consumption
The production of food using precision fermentation is set to revolutionise food production. Using 3% of the resources of dairy protein, PF will disrupt agriculture. An Israeli company claims cheaper protein, FDA has approved, and production is underway.
In 2019, United Energy in Melbourne trialled power pole mounted batteries for local community storage and electricity services. A Brisbane Company is extending that with commercial products.

Solid state battery announcements are from mutliple battery vendors. Promising faster charging, longer lifetime with greater energy density is the promise, but the challenge has been to match PR releases with reality. Schaeffler is the latest to enter the space.
Bloomberg EV outlook forecasts for more than 1 year out should be ignored. Reviewing Vehicle Outlook Reports from 2016 to 2023 demonstrate straight line predictions, and not the exponential rise due to lower battery costs and EV giants BYD and Tesla on their 50% year on year growth projections.
IMF report says the impact of Artificial Intelligence on job creation and disruption will be much more in the developed country with over 40% of jobs impacted. In contrast, only 26% of jobs in low-income countries will be affected
Protein from coal – something in science fixtion, yet scientists have grown protein using preceision fermentation using a designer bacteria. With coal as the feedstock, whats next
Synthetic ethanol and methanol are to reduce emissions in production to provide a near zero fuel. However, when burnt they still produce CO2 emissions.
Paraplegics are walking again – not 5 to 10 years away. Research in multiple research and companies are looking to have better brain interfaces which then can interface to voice, vision and mobility.
Methanol is a candidate for replacement of black methanol, but weth the right technology and pricing, green methanol could compete with black methanol.
Over 7 robots are in development in the west along with many in China who has stated that AI robots are a major iniative.
