In this episode of Discover Daily by Perplexity, we explore three major stories that dominated the tech and science landscape. Mistral AI and NVIDIA unveiled Mistral NeMo, a groundbreaking 12 billion parameter language model with a massive 128,000 token context window, setting new benchmarks in AI performance. This AI breakthrough could revolutionize natural language processing across industries.
A global cyber outage on July 19, 2024, caused widespread chaos, affecting various sectors worldwide. The incident was traced to a defect in CrowdStrike's "Falcon Sensor" software, highlighting vulnerabilities in our interconnected digital infrastructure.
On Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover made an unexpected discovery in the Gediz Vallis Channel, revealing pure elemental sulfur crystals for the first time on the Red Planet. This finding challenges scientists' understanding of Martian geology and opens up new questions about the planet's past.
