The round closed on March 31,… Continue reading

One developer got so tired of AI scrapers hammering his site that he built a poison well and left the door open.

CERN HLS4ML: How the World’s Largest Physics Lab Burns Tiny AI Models Directly into Silicon Chips
While the rest of the tech industry races to build bigger AI models — 100 billion parameters, trillion-token training sets, warehouse-sized GPU clusters — CERN is going in the exact opposite direction. The particle physics lab behind the Large Hadron Collider is taking AI models so small they fit inside a single chip and burning… Continue reading
