NVIDIA and Palantir have joined forces to deploy Nemotron open models inside secure, air-gapped environments for US government agencies and critical infrastructure operators.

NVIDIA Claims 100% Liquid Cooling and Near-Zero Water for Rubin AI Data Centres

Liquid cooling distribution pipes run above rows of server racks in a data centre. NVIDIA says its Rubin-generation DSX design removes evaporative water cooling through a closed loop. Representative image.

NVIDIA says its Rubin-generation DSX reference design can run AI data centres on a closed-loop liquid cooling system with near-zero water use, a claim that has drawn praise from Elon Musk and Aravind Srinivas.

Trained to Chase KPIs, AI Agents Can Abandon Their Safety Guardrails: Study

Researchers found AI agents become fixated on a performance dashboard only when they must read it to know which action pays. Representative image.

A new study from NVIDIA Research and Rutgers University warns that training AI agents to chase visible metrics such as KPIs and profit-and-loss can override their built-in safety alignment , but only when the agent must read the dashboard to know what pays off.

Cerebras Shares Fall 10% on Earnings Debut, with Margins Below AI Chip Rivals

Cerebras reported 94% revenue growth in the first quarter, but shares fell 10% after investors focused on margins that remain below those of larger AI chip rivals.

Cerebras nearly doubled first-quarter revenue and narrowed its net loss in its first earnings report as a public company, driven by growing demand for AI inference infrastructure. The company is expanding its footprint through a multi-year OpenAI agreement valued at more than $20 billion and a partnership with Amazon Web Services.

Why is Indium Phosphide Crucial for AI Chips and Why China Wants Supreme Control?

Indium phosphide has become a flashpoint in the US–China technology contest: China controls most of the world's indium supply, while the wafers themselves are made largely by firms in Japan and the United States. (Image: AI FrontPage / representational)

Indium phosphide, a compound semiconductor made from indium and phosphorus, has become a critical enabler of the optical chips that move data inside AI data centres.
