A working group convened by NVIDIA has drafted SAFE, a framework under which companies would confidentially report AI agent security incidents into a shared pool.
NVIDIA launches Alpamayo 2 Super, its frontier open 34B-parameter reasoning vision-language-action model for autonomous vehicles. Built on Cosmos 3 Super Reasoner and released under OpenMDW-1.1 for commercial use, it enables robotaxis, trucks and mobile robots to reason before acting.
A Reuters review of over 80 academic papers and patents has found Chinese institutes with ties to the PLA using distillation techniques on US AI models, including OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 and Anthropic’s Claude Haiku, to develop domestic defense-linked AI systems.
Researchers and executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta,, and other frontier AI companies are urging US government support for AI pacing tools, arguing competition makes it hard for individual companies to slow down.
As the AI chip race intensifies, the collaboration spans AI factory construction, AI memory supply and AI cloud infrastructure, combining SK Telecom’s AI infrastructure with SK hynix’s advanced HBM technology to support sovereign, enterprise and physical AI expansion.
NVIDIA, IBM, Adobe, Microsoft, SpaceX and nearly 40 other technology companies have launched the Open Secure AI Alliance, a global coalition to develop and share open-source tools, techniques and models to defend against AI-powered cyberattacks.
Cambridge-based CuspAI has launched the AI Materials Foundry, a coalition of more than 45 tech giants and research groups including NVIDIA, Meta, Samsung and Hyundai Motor Group, alongside a $450 million Series B that values the two-year-old startup at $2.6 billion.
From rendering video game graphics to powering nearly every AI model on the planet, NVIDIA’s rise is no accident. We break down the three-decade stack of bets — GPUs, CUDA, and now open models — that made one chipmaker the most valuable company in history.
Beyond the corporate scorecard, the numbers point to a quieter shift: open model families are becoming the default foundation on which academic AI research is now built, with one chip-maker sitting squarely at the centre of it.
NVIDIA and Palantir have joined forces to deploy Nemotron open models inside secure, air-gapped environments for US government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.
