CHINA'S 'DARWIN MONKEY' IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST BRAIN-INSPIRED SUPERCOMPUTER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Darwin Monkey, also known as 'Wukong', is a supercomputer built to emulate a monkey's brain structure. It features over 2 billion artificial neurons and more than 100 billion synapses, roughly on par with the neural structure of a macaque. The supercomputer will serve as a tool for neuroscientists while also acting as a stepping stone toward artificial general intelligence. It consumes just 2,000 watts of power despite being powered by 960 Darwin III neuromorphic chips, each supporting up to 2.35 million spiking neurons.
