KAYTUS V3 server empowering all AI scenario applications

The rapid expansion of diverse AI application scenarios has introduced new computing challenges. Each AI application comes with unique characteristics and system requirements, demanding more than just advanced algorithms. A robust, diverse computing power ecosystem and optimized data processing capabilities are equally crucial for success.

The newly released V3 servers support a diverse range of computing platforms, including CPU, GPU, and FPGA, and promote full-stack openness across components, firmware, nodes, and rack-scale systems. The V3 server family tackles computing efficiency with a unified foundation, enabling both node scale-up and network scale-out to align with the scaling demands of AI models. This comprehensive approach ensures support for a wide array of AI scenarios, driving unmatched performance and adaptability.

At the component level, the V3 server supports memory expansion through CXL adapter cards and BOX, fully adhering to CXL specifications. This advancement effectively addresses the imbalance between computing power and data transport capacity, ensuring seamless data flow and boosting overall system performance.

At the firmware level, the V3 firmware incorporates an open firmware management platform built on OpenBMC, showcasing a highly modular design with a layered, decoupled architecture. This setup facilitates asynchronous iteration and functionally decoupled upgrades via standard interface protocols, enabling unified management across a wide range of computing platforms.

At the node level, the V3 server family, built upon the server compute module design specification (OCM), features a modular, decoupled architecture that enables “computing unit decoupling.” This architecture forms the smallest computing unit centered around the CPU and memory, with support for standardized high-speed and low-speed interconnect interfaces. By componentizing processor computing units, the V3 series achieves comprehensive compatibility with both Intel and AMD processors, creating a unified computing architecture, thus reducing user adoption barriers. Users can easily find tailored solutions for various application needs. For example, the KR2190V3 model is fully decoupled, supports both Intel BHS and AMD Turin processors, and facilitates computing standardization for rapid cross-platform and multi-scenario deployment.

The V3 server family also introduces a diversified open acceleration computing platform built on the UBB2.0 specification, compatible with multiple OAM v2.0 modules adhering to OCP open acceleration standards. Featuring a fully modular design and outstanding system energy efficiency, this platform supports the iterative development of large models and AI applications, further driving the innovation and integration of computing power.

At the rack scale level, KAYTUS has introduced a rack scale server compatible with select OCP open standards, designed to embody the architecture of the future. This rack scale server accommodates both 19-inch and 21-inch nodes, offering versatile computing capabilities, open decoupling, and seamless business deployment right out of the box.

Data constitutes the backbone of AI models, making accelerated data processing a critical requirement. Large language models (LLMs), especially multimodal models, now face the challenge of handling significantly larger datasets, necessitating systems with increased memory capacity for efficient data preprocessing and storage. The V3 server is fully optimized for data storage, supporting single-drive capacities of up to 128TB, with a single server capable of accommodating up to 6PB and a single rack achieving a 2.7x boost in storage capacity. This ensures exceptional data processing and storage performance, effectively meeting the high demands of modern AI applications.

Native intelligence enhances computing power efficiency

As IT infrastructure continues to expand in computing power and load, ensuring the long-term stable operation of server hardware is essential. This stability is often challenged by three main issues: unreliable server alerts, inaccurate diagnostics, and failed failure predictions. To combat these challenges, KAYTUS has developed a comprehensive fault diagnosis system, incorporating over 20 new features that enable real-time monitoring and alerts for server health status throughout their entire lifecycle.

The V3 server family has received intelligent upgrades in fault prediction and alerting. For memory, AI training on extensive fault data from thousands of servers enables real-time monitoring of memory errors, achieving an impressive 85% accuracy rate for UCE (Uncorrectable Error) detection. In hard drives, advanced fault warning technology integrated with array cards sets proactive flags. Periodic BMC queries automatically upload alerts for failing drives, ensuring timely replacements. Additionally, diagnostic capabilities have been strengthened with an independent diagnostic module capable of detecting nanosecond-level noise in server motherboard digital signals. This real-time monitoring of key components enhances root cause localization accuracy to 95%, significantly boosting system reliability.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska had a record number of petition-initiated measures on the ballot Tuesday, including two competing ones that addressed abortion rights. Nebraska was the first state to feature competing abortion amendments on the same ballot since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, ending the nationwide right to abortion and allowing states to decide for themselves.

A majority of voters supported a measure enshrining the state's current ban on abortion after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy in the state constitution. The measure will also allow for further restrictions. Last year, the Legislature passed the 12-week ban, which includes exceptions for cases of rape and incest and to protect the life of the pregnant woman.

Voters rejected the other abortion measure. If they had passed it by a larger number of “for” votes than the 12-week measure, it would have amended the constitution to guarantee the right to have an abortion until viability — the standard under Roe that is the point at which a fetus might survive outside the womb. Some babies can survive with medical help after 21 weeks of gestation.

Abortion was on the ballot in several other states, as well. Coming into the election, voters in all seven states that had decided on abortion-related ballot measures since the reversal of Roe had favored abortion rights, including in some conservative states.

The 12-week ban measure was bankrolled by some of Nebraska's wealthiest people, including Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, who previously served as governor and donated more than $1.1 million. His mother, Marlene Ricketts, gave $4 million to the cause. Members of the Peed family, which owns publishing company Sandhills Global, also gave $1 million.

The effort was organized under the name Protect Women and Children and was heavily backed by religious organizations, including the Nebraska Catholic Conference, a lobbying group that has organized rallies, phone banks and community townhalls to drum up support for the measure.

The effort to enshrine viability as the standard was called Protect Our Rights Nebraska and had the backing of several medical, advocacy and social justice groups. Planned Parenthood donated nearly $1 million to the cause, with the American Civil Liberties Union, I Be Black Girl, Nebraska Appleseed and the Women’s Fund of Omaha also contributing significantly to the roughly $3.7 million raised by Protect Our Rights.

Nebraska voters approved two measures Tuesday that will create a system for the use and manufacture of medical marijuana, if the measures survive an ongoing legal challenge.

The measures legalize the possession and use of medical marijuana, and allow for the manufacture, distribution and delivery of the drug. One would let patients and caregivers possess up to 5 ounces (142 grams) of marijuana if recommended by a doctor. The other would create the Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission, which would oversee the private groups that would manufacture and dispense the drug.

Those initiatives were challenged over allegations that the petition campaign that put them on the ballot broke election rules. Nebraska's attorney general said supporters of the measures may have submitted several thousand invalid signatures, and one man has been charged in connection with 164 allegedly fraudulent signatures. That means a judge could still invalidate the measures.

Voters also opted Tuesday to repeal a new conservative-backed law that allocates millions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund private school tuition.

Finally, they approved a measure that will require all Nebraska employers to provide at least 40 hours of paid sick leave to their employees.
