Illustration by Tag Hartman-Simkins / Futurism. Source: Saul Loeb / AFP via Getty Images; Shutterstock It’s a desperate time for tech companies trying to assert dominance in the AI boom. Back in April, we found out that nearly half of the data centers that were supposed to open this year had been cancelled or significantly delayed — putting a bottleneck on an industry which will live or die by its ability to access AI chips. The situation has grown so fran

Google will soon be one step closer to getting AI data centers up and running in outer space. The tech giant announced Thursday that its Project Suncatcher will launch a prototype satellite into low Earth orbit next week to test how well Google Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) hold up under the rough conditions of space. “This first launch is about seeing what works, identifying points of failure, and applying those findings to future missions,” the company

More like an ARM-s race? The AI revolution has spawned a new chips arms race There’s no x86 in the AI chip market yet—“People see a gold rush; there’s no doubt.” Andy Patrizio – Jul 9, 2018 10:12 am | 226 A lot has changed since 1918. But whether it's a literal (like the City of London School athletics' U12 event) or figurative (AI chip development) race, participants still very much want to win. Credit: A. R.

Anthropic says AI is eroding Nvidia's CUDA lead, cutting an AMD chip switch from months to three days View the LinkedIn Profile of Matthias Bastian Nov 11, 2026 Nano Banana Pro prompted by THE DECODER Key Points Anthropic claims it has overcome its dependence on Nvidia through a multi-chip strategy. According to co-founder Tom Brown, the company now trains and runs Claude on all four major chip families, treating them as a single, interchangeable compute p

Regarding NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose affair with a woman regarded as a Chinese spy has been widely reported, it has newly been alleged that he was also having an affair with his direct subordinate, Kimberly Powell, a vice president in charge of healthcare. Lawmakers are calling on Huang to resign as CEO, citing the risk this poses to national security, and consideration of summoning him before Congress is also underway. Jensen Huang Said to Have Had Re

OpenAI has been an industry leader in the large language model space, but competition is tightening with a host of other companies in the fray. After three years of breakneck growth and soaring valuations, the AI industry enters 2026 with some of the euphoria giving way to tough questions. Here is a look at what is at stake: Bubble goes pop? Money is pouring into artificial intelligence, with spending expected to reach more than $2 trillion worldwide in 20

The rapid development of artificial intelligence explains this stratospheric figure. In 2026, Samsung DS, Samsung’s semiconductor manufacturing division, is expected to generate more profit than it has over the past 40 years. In the second quarter of this year, Samsung generat

You may be familiar with the Infinite Monkey Theorem, an oft-cited (and often incorrectly quoted) claim that thousands of monkeys could bang on thousands of typewriters and eventually produce a work of art equivalent to William Shakespeare. (Yes, Simpsons did it.) This week, Nvidia confirms that it has taken this theory quite seriously with its own twist: an army of AI routines, dubbed GameGAN (short for “generative adversarial networks”), trained to build

A clip from the simulation where virtual robots learn to climb steps. An army of more than 4,000 marching doglike robots is a vaguely menacing sight, even in a simulation. But it may point the way for machines to learn new tricks. The virtual robot army was developed by researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and chipmaker Nvidia. They used the wandering bots to train an algorithm that was then used to control the legs of a real-world robot. In the simu

Everything about Artificial Intelligence see more Amazon launched a new tool to make it easier to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications on its own chips and challenge Nvidia's position in the market. Named TorchNeuron, the feature allows developers to port applications created with PyTorch to Amazon Web Services' (AWS) Trainium processors with only a configuration change, without needing to rewrite the code.The initiative targets one of Nvidia's ma

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing growing political pressure as more details emerge about his affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese intelligence asset. Now, some Republican lawmakers are threatening to subpoena Huang, while at least one senator is calling for his resignation. North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer told Politico on Tuesday that Huang’s actions amount to a national security risk. “The potential for extortion is so tremendous that somethin

All eyes are on Jensen Huang after it was revealed the Nvidia CEO had an extramarital affair with a woman who’s alleged to be a spy for China. Will Huang step aside, amid calls from both Democrats and Republicans for him to do just that? Nobody knows for sure at this point. What’s been getting less attention, however, are the behind-the-scenes battles within the federal government. What did members of the Trump regime know about the affair, and when did th

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has joined progressive groups—including Demand Progress, Open Markets Institute, and the Tech Oversight Project—pressuring the US Department of Justice to investigate Nvidia’s dominance in the AI chip market due to alleged antitrust concerns, Reuters reported. In a letter to the DOJ’s chief antitrust enforcer, Jonathan Kanter, groups demanding more Big Tech oversight raised alarms that Nvidia’s top rivals apparently “are str

The Department of Justice is reportedly deepening its probe into Nvidia. Officials have moved on from merely questioning competitors to subpoenaing Nvidia and other tech companies for evidence that could substantiate allegations that Nvidia is abusing its “dominant position in AI computing,” Bloomberg reported. When news of the DOJ’s probe into the trillion-dollar company was first reported in June, Fast Company reported that scrutiny was intensifying mere
