Apple's new M6 and M5 Pro Mac minis promise big local AI gains, but RAM limits and no CUDA support come with real trade-offs. The Mac mini became the surprise local AI hero earlier this year, packing a relatively large pool of RAM into a small, always-on, reasonably affordable form factor that was catnip for OpenClaw AI users. Since then, both AMD and Nvidia have teed up their own AI-centric Mac mini rivals, with AMD's Ryzen AI Halo and Nvidia's RTX Spark-powered systems serving up beefy processors and gobs of unified memory.

I'm starting to think I got the last good GPU deal

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. I'm starting to think I got the last good GPU deal My $500 RTX 5070 Ti is now a $1,300 problem. In November, around the U.S. Black Friday deal rush, I bought a new graphics card. That was nine months ago, and I think it might be the last time -- at least for the foreseeable future -- that I'll get a decent price on any computer hardware. In this week's issue of Boost Mode, I'll brag a little about my find, and explain why something that good is unlikely to come again any time soon.

NVIDIA launches 'Open Secure AI Alliance' initiative to improve cyber defense

Engadget

NVIDIA has gathered together some of the biggest tech companies in the world to form the Open Secure AI Alliance with the goal of improving cybersecurity. Among the 27 founding members are Microsoft, SpaceX, Dell, The Linux Foundation and NVIDIA itself. "The Open Secure AI Alliance -- building on the leadership of the Linux Foundation's Akrites initiative and OpenSSF community work -- will work to remediate and disclose vulnerabilities using open technologies," NVIDIA wrote. The group argues that to best defend against attacks in the age of AI models like Anthropic's Mythos 5, security researchers need access to both open and closed frontier models. As a prime example, NVIDIA cited OpenAI's recent rogue attack on Hugging Face.
