Big data centers use a huge amount of electricity. But that’s changing. Someday soon, we won’t have to pay higher electricity prices because AI is hogging our power. AI’s new Large Language Models are saving energy, because processing happens locally on our devices rather than via power-hungry remote servers. For example, PrismML, founded by Caltech scientists, shrinks AI. Instead of giant data centers, their AI models can work on devices as small as the iPhone 17. What’s more, they take up only 1.5 gigabytes and can be downloaded for free at PrismML.com. But PrismML’s “Bonsai” is not for casual users. It’s for tech enthusiasts who want to tinker with their own private AI, as well as developers, researchers and hardware […]

Instead of filming your skateboarding, surfing or ski adventure, you can use a mount from Bracketron for hunting expeditions. Using the mount, attach your smartphone or action camera to your hunting rifle, bow, fishing rod or paintball gun. Their most expensive model is the “ProX Sport Mount 3-in-1,” for $70. It has a quick release lever to make it easy to mount and dismount your smartphone or camera. The Mount spins your phone 360 degrees for quick repositioning from vertical to horizontal views. It works with any smart phone or GoPro and similar “action cameras.” If you don’t need a “3 in 1” mount, they also have a separate mount for your bow and arrow expeditions ($20) and one for […]
