📙 Le nouveau numéro de Dimensions est sorti!
Dans cette édition, zoom sur les matières plastiques. Si elles ont permis d’énormes progrès, elles se heurtent aujourd’hui au défi de la pollution qu’elles engendrent.
Disponible gratuitement dans les caissettes à journaux du campus ou sur https://dimensions.epfl.ch
Salut @EPFL ! Moi, c'est Plushtodon, la peluche-mascotte de Mastodon 🦣 ✨
Je me réjouis de découvrir le quotidien du campus, de passer d’événements en rencontres et d'explorer les lieux les plus emblématiques!

Hi @EPFL ! I’m Plushtodon, the Mastodon plush mascot 🦣 ✨
I can’t wait to immerse myself in everyday life on campus, hop from event to event, meet new people, and explore your most iconic spots!

Nos chercheurs ont développé Anyway Systems, un logiciel qui permet à l'IA d’exécuter une tâche sans passer par les services «cloud» de tiers.
Le système, relayé par une start-up, peut être installé sur un réseau de machines locales sans qu’aucune donnée ne sorte du réseau, garantissant ainsi confidentialité et souveraineté.
For Zoë Holmes, assistant professor of physics, science is above all a collective adventure. Last week, she received the Zonta Prize — an award that, every two years in Switzerland, recognizes a promising young female scientist.
The scientist, who once hesitated between physics and philosophy, reflects on her unusual journey. She shares her desire to encourage young people to follow their scientific curiosity.

ETHZ and EPFL announced the release of a Large Language Model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure: Trained on the “Alps” supercomputer at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in 8B and 70B parameters configurations, using open-source training data, respecting web crawling opt-outs during data acquisition, and natively fluent in over 1000 languages. Quoting: "The model will be fully open: source code and weights will be publicly available, and the training data will be transparent and reproducible".
I don't know how good it's going to be, but if true for me this is the real definition of "open-source" in AI (not the ridiculous, corporate-promiscuous definition by the Open Source Initiative).
