Microsoft is getting rid of Money. Relatively new features stop working in Excel
Microsoft has announced the impending cessation of a number of features in its proprietary Excel spreadsheet application. This was announced in an email sent to users of a Microsoft 365 subscription.
We are talking about integration with Wolfram Alpha and the premium Money in Excel template (Money in Excel). Both features were launched relatively recently, so it’s strange to see them go out of business so quickly.
“Money in Excel” was one of the benefits Microsoft touted when they renamed Office 365 subscriptions to Microsoft 365. Basically, the feature makes it easy to import banking data and keep track of your finances.
The debut took place a little over two years ago, by the time support is terminated, this feature will live a little over three years. Money in Excel can be used until June 30, 2023. All user data will be saved, just stop updating transactions. As a replacement, Microsoft is offering a 60-day free trial of Tiller.
Integration with Wolfram Alpha was introduced in July 2020. The feature will stop working on June 11, 2023 and will last less than three years. Over 100 Wolfram Alpha data types have been introduced to Excel. Lack of support means that updating data, following links, and most other features related to Wolfram Alpha data will stop working.

Windows artificial intelligence will become much smarter. Copilot system will switch to GPT-4 Turbo

Microsoft’s Copilot assistant, integrated into Windows 11, will soon move to the GPT-4 Turbo language model.
General Director of Advertising and Web Services at Microsoft, Mikhail Parakhin, said that the company still needs to correct some shortcomings. However, no time frame for the transition has been announced yet.
As a reminder, GPT-4 Turbo features a large number of improvements relative to GPT-4, including a context window for 128,000 tokens. True, with Copilot it may well be limited.
In addition, this language model is trained on data up to April 2023, which gives it an advantage over older versions.

A pocket-sized video card that can also accommodate an SSD. OneXGPU is finally out on Indiegogo for $600

The OneXGPU external video card has finally become available for order. The company has entered Indiegogo, and anyone can now buy the device as part of a fundraising campaign.
The campaign price is $600. At retail, the device will cost $790, which is more expensive than a similar product from GPD. However, let us remind you that OneXGPU is not just an external video card with a large set of ports. There is a slot for an M.2 SSD, so all games can be stored directly on the video card.
Let us remind you that the OneXGPU is based on the mobile Radeon RX 7600M XT, which is identical in basic parameters to the desktop RX 7600. It is worth noting that in this case the TDP is 120 W. The dimensions of the device are 188 × 106 × 16 mm and weighs 789 g. You can also note a USB4 port, a pair of HDMI, a pair of DisplayPort, RJ45 and two USB 3.2. Active CO with an evaporation chamber is responsible for cooling. The Oculink port is used to connect to a PC or console, but USB4 can also be used.
The company promises deliveries in early 2024. The campaign, by the way, is already successful: with the requested $10,000, more than $110,000 has already been collected, and there is still a whole month left.

Nvidia and Amazon will create a supercomputer called Ceiba with a performance of 65 ExaFLOPS. But this performance is not FP32 or FP64

Nvidia and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the expansion of their strategic cooperation, which will also include the construction of the fastest artificial intelligence supercomputer, Ceiba.
Ceiba will have 16,384 GH200 Superchips and will have a performance of an incredible 65 ExaFLOPS. True, it’s worth saying right away that this is performance specifically in AI tasks, that is, we are not talking about calculations with double or single precision. There is no data on classical indicators.
But this is not all that expansion of cooperation will consist of. Amazon will also use the latest Nvidia adapters for its Amazon EC2 service. We are talking about accelerators GH200, H200, L40S and L4. Overall, the press release said the companies will combine the best of their technologies—from Nvidia’s latest multi-node systems with next-generation GPUs, processors, and AI software, to the advanced virtualization and security of the AWS Nitro system, Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) interconnect, and UltraCluster.
