Scientists in China have created a new computing architecture that can train advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models while consuming fewer computing resources — and they hope that it will one day lead to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

The most advanced AI models today — predominantly large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT or Claude 3 — use neural networks. These are collections of machine learning algorithms layered to process data in a way that's similar to the human brain and weigh up different options to arrive at conclusions.
