AMDs FourthQuarter Revenue Outlook Falls Short, Prompting 7% Drop in Stock Prices

Despite increasing its prediction for artificial intelligence chip sales to $5 billion for 2025, Advanced Micro Devices AMD first reported fourthquart

Despite increasing its prediction for artificial intelligence chip sales to $5 billion for 2025, Advanced Micro Devices AMD first reported fourthquarter revenue below expectations. As a result of this statement, AMDs stock fell by around 7% during extended trading, undoing a significant portion of its previous gains. Although the companys data centre sales increased by 122% to $3.5 billion, AMD is still trailing Nvidia, which accounts for around 80% of the market for AI semiconductors. As CEO Lisa Su noted, continued supply issues for AI processors make it more difficult for AMD to satisfy growing demand from big tech firms like Microsoft and Meta. Despite exceeding forecasts with thirdquarter sales of $6.82 billion, the mixed outlook has sparked worries about the future of the semiconductor business. Read More..

Iambic Therapeutics Unveils Enchant AI Model to Slash Drug Development Costs by Half

"Enchant," an AI model introduced by Iambic Therapeutics, claims to reduce the time and expense involved in medication development. With a noteworthy

"Enchant," an AI model introduced by Iambic Therapeutics, claims to reduce the time and expense involved in medication development. With a noteworthy accuracy score of 0.74, Enchant can predict a drugs earlystage performance after training on a large amount of preclinical data. This surpasses the best accuracy of 0.58 achieved by previous models. By lowering failure rates, this breakthrough—backed by Nvidia and approved by Nobel laureate Frances Arnold—allows researchers to estimate a drugs pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and effectiveness, possibly cutting development expenditures in half. Enchant evaluates broader pharmacological characteristics crucial to a drugs effectiveness, unlike Google DeepMinds AlphaFold, which concentrates on 3D protein binding structures. Iambic asserts that by tackling expensive, latestage development concerns, Enchant has the potential to revolutionise pharmaceutical R&D. Read More..
