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.

NVIDIA Lands 74 Papers at ICML 2026 as Open Models Reshape AI Research

NVIDIA reported 74 accepted papers at ICML 2026 in Seoul, with the company saying around 2,000 accepted papers cited its GPUs. (Logos: ICML / NVIDIA)

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.

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.
