NVIDIA unveiled a new diffusion language model that retains almost all autoregressive quality while boosting throughput, marking a significant step in efficient large‑language‑model inference.
Anthropic’s Claude models are now generally available in Microsoft Foundry, running on NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs hosted on Microsoft Azure, expanding infrastructure options for organisations building AI agents.
A new preprint shows how an AI system’s evaluator can evolve alongside the agent it grades, potentially accelerating self‑improving models and raising fresh safety concerns.
SpaceX will supply Reflection AI with $150 million/month of Nvidia GB300 chips, a $6.3 billion commitment that underlines the growing importance of open‑weight AI infrastructure.
NVIDIA unveiled the BioNeMo Agent Toolkit, a suite of agent‑ready tools that let AI agents run biology, chemistry, genomics and drug‑discovery workflows, promising faster, more accurate scientific research.
Groq secured a $650 million funding round and is hiring to pivot its inference cloud after Nvidia’s licensing deal stole its key talent.
Dell unveiled the PowerEdge XE8812, a high‑end AI server powered by Nvidia’s new Vera Rubin NVL4 architecture, aimed at enterprise AI factories.
Nvidia’s GEAR lab unveiled a new harness that lets AI coding agents teach robots to install GPUs and cut zip ties, achieving a 99% success rate on complex manipulation tasks.
London‑based AI startup Recursive Superintelligence raises $650 million, valuing it at $4.65 billion, with backing from GV, Nvidia and AMD.
Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warns the AI boom risks worsening inequality, with rewards flowing only to a handful of firms and investors. In his annual letter, he noted that AI threatens to repeat—and amplify—a pattern where wealth accrues to those who already own assets. His solution: more people should invest in capital markets rather than rely on homeownership. The warning comes as BlackRock manages $14tn and Fink’s own $30.8m pay package has drawn shareholder scrutiny.
Three drone strikes. Two data centers offline. One very expensive warning to Silicon Valley: the Gulf is no longer safe ground for the infrastructure of the future.
Nvidia has teamed up with the UK's National Wealth Fund to invest $103 million in British autonomous driving startup Oxa. The Oxford-based company, which develops software for self-driving industrial vehicles in ports and factories, has pivoted away from the complex passenger car market to focus on automating repetitive goods movement—a shift that co-founder Paul Newman says makes the "economics...cracking."
Meta has agreed to a sweeping $60bn, five-year deal with Advanced Micro Devices, acquiring chips and a 10% stake in the company as it doubles down on AI — the latest sign that the industry's hunger for processing power is only growing stronger.
New performance data shows that NVIDIA’s next-generation Blackwell Ultra platform delivers up to 50× higher throughput and up to 35× lower cost per token for agentic AI workloads compared with the previous Hopper generation — enabling significantly faster, more economically scalable real-time coding assistants and autonomous AI agents.
