Local AI used to ask one big question of you: what can your hardware actually take? The answer determined which models you could run, the context length you could push, and whether vision or audio were even on the table. The question still remains, but it’s not as black and white anymore because smaller models…
Micron, the Boise, Idaho-based memory chip maker, has captured Wall Street’s heart. Whether the love affair endures will heavily depend on how long the AI-driven supply crunch for memory chips lasts. Micron promises that it has shored up its position for the long term, which would allow it to withstand a sudden drop in demand…
Cool is a slippery thing. One minute you have it, the next minute it’s out your hands like a water balloon. For an older generation, Marty Scorsese epitomized cool. That hasn’t been the case for a while — I’d say sometime after The Wolf of Wall Street and before his third consecutive manicured period drama. When he…
The next era of AI will not be defined by compute alone. Its growth will be determined by energy. As accelerated computing scales across AI factories, agentic AI, industrial AI, edge computing and physical AI — including robotics and autonomous systems — global electricity demand is rising at unprecedented speed. In many regions, expanding grid…
Last year, Nano Banana brought Gemini’s intelligence to image generation and editing. Since then, it’s helped millions of people restore old photos, design from sketches and visualize ideas in ways that weren’t possible before. From the start we built Gemini to be natively multimodal from the ground up, and now we’re taking the next step….
At the ISC conference running in Hamburg this week, NVIDIA is introducing new software that speeds AI for science, from chemistry and materials discovery to the search for dark matter. The NVIDIA DAQIRI library and new NVIDIA ALCHEMI NIM microservices — as well as the NVIDIA cuPhoton reference code, coming soon — turn work that…
Street View: ground your worlds in real places When creating imaginative worlds in Project Genie, you can now also base them on real places. Just tap the Maps pin to choose a place in the U.S. and optionally select a style for your world, like “Desert Sands” or “Stone Age.” Then, describe your character —…
Mission, Vision and Veritas — new Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) supercomputers to be built with HPE and NVIDIA — are tapping NVIDIA Vera CPUs to accelerate scientific discovery, unlocking agentic AI for science. The supercomputers will use the HPE Cray Supercomputing GX5000 architecture with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform, combining NVIDIA Vera CPUs, NVIDIA…
The Asia-Pacific region is a global engine for economic growth, but it’s also highly vulnerable to climate change. While green technologies are gaining momentum, a recent report shows they aren’t scaling fast enough to keep up with the region’s rising environmental risks. To help innovators tackle these environmental challenges, we’re launching an inaugural Google DeepMind…
