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.

The release of Moonshot's Kimi K3 model upended assumptions that Chinese AI capabilities were meaningfully behind U.S. leaders such as OpenAI and Anthropic. A White House official accused China's Moonshot of improperly using U.S. AI models and Nvidia chips to create the Kimi K3 system that stunned the tech industry last week with its advanced capabilities. The company "acquired GB300-equipped servers and has accessed GB300s in Thailand, likely to train its AI models," White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios said in a social media post Wednesday, making the case that Moonshot violated U.S. export control rules and companies' terms of service to build its product. The semiconductor servers Kratsios referenced are part of the Blackwell generation of Nvidia products, which the U.S. forbids from sale to Chinese companies. Though the Trump administration has allowed some sales of Nvidia's H200 chips, it continues to prevent sales of the more advanced Blackwells. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Pat Gelsinger wants to pave the way to ever more powerful artificial intelligence using tiny beams of light. After Pat Gelsinger departed Intel as CEO in late 2024, he held 100 meetings in 100 days. The idea, he told WIRED recently, was to whittle down his options until he figured out what to do next. The following March, Gelsinger announced that he had taken a position as general partner at Playground Capital, a venture capital firm specializing in deep tech, taking bets on fledgling technologies built on new science. Gelsinger took the role with the aim of helping a new generation of semiconductor startups reawaken Moore's law . Decades ago, Intel cofounder Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on a chip would double roughly every two years, with a corresponding leap in performance.

Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform combines CPUs and GPUs into a single system, reflecting the company's growing ambition to power every layer of AI infrastructure. Nvidia is hyping up its new Vera Rubin chip system this week, revealing new performance benchmarks for the GPU and CPU combo ahead of rival AMD's annual product event in San Francisco on Thursday. During a lengthy technical workshop last week at the company's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, Nvidia executives boasted to a small group of journalists about the chip system's increased power and efficiency capabilities. The biggest takeaway: Nvidia, which has long specialized in making GPUs, is increasingly trying to position itself as a supplier of CPUs that can power AI agents. While GPUs are still the main hardware that companies use to train and run their AI models, the industry's shift toward more complex, agentic systems has increased demand for CPUs, which can orchestrate data flows, networking, and other software tasks.

Apple dethrones Nvidia to regain title of world's most valuable company Apple overtook Nvidia on Friday to become the world's most valuable company, reshuffling the top ranks of tech heavyweights as investors reassess the outlook for artificial intelligence. Apple was last valued at $4.88tn as its shares held steady, while Nvidia was roughly at $4.86tn, after a 3.5% decline. Nvidia became the first company in the world to surpass a $5tn market valuation in October, a landmark that propelled it into a rarefied territory that was far beyond the reach of its rivals.

PCWorld reports that Nvidia launched "GeForce Trading Cards: Series 1," a free collectible card series celebrating the company's PC gaming history. The 14-card collection features iconic graphics cards like NV1 and GeForce 256, plus classic games such as Unreal Tournament 2004. Cards are distributed free through social media and gaming events like Gamescom 2026, offering an affordable way to own Nvidia memorabilia. Nvidia just unveiled its "GeForce Trading Cards: Series 1," a free series of collectable cards celebrating the company's history in PC gaming. The series includes 14 different cards featuring artwork and designs from historical graphics cards, classic tech demos, and iconic games that have shaped the GeForce brand over the decades. The cards include the NV1 from 1995, the GeForce 256 from 1999, the GeForce 3 from 2001, GeForce 7800 GTX from 2005, and GeForce GTX 1080 from 2016. The series also features cards inspired by tech demos such as,, and, and games such as and . These collector cards are being given away free of charge as part of Nvidia's "Summer of RTX" campaign via the company's social media channels and at gaming conventions and events like Gamescom 2026.

PCWorld reviews Bunny Ears TV, a new Apple TV app that transforms your Plex Media Server library into 24/7 streaming channels with cable-like navigation. The app creates up to 26 themed channels from personal video collections, offering ad-free channel surfing with DVR controls and customizable features. Despite some usability issues and bugs, it provides an effective alternative to ad-heavy free streaming services for $3/month or $30 lifetime. While lots of free streaming services offer lineups of live TV channels to flip through, they all have the same problem: You're not in control of the content, and you're constantly interrupted by ads. A new app called Bunny Ears TV aims to solve those problems with help from Plex Media Server. If you have an Apple TV box and your own collection of movie or TV files in Plex, Bunny Ears TV can spin them into dozens of round-the-clock streaming channels with practically no effort. It's a neat app that mimics the channel surfing of cable using your own content, but unlike with cable, there are no commercial breaks.

China had previously restricted the import of Nvidia's H200 chips on concerns that a flood of American-designed AI processors would hinder the government's long-held goal of developing an indigenous chip industry. China plans to allow its top artificial intelligence companies to buy a limited number of H200 chips from Nvidia, a sign the country is easing restrictions on the coveted U.S. technology, according to The Information news site. Chinese officials have informed companies such as Alibaba Group Holding, ByteDance and DeepSeek that they will have permission to purchase some of the processors, which are used to develop AI models, the news site said Wednesday. The companies need to say how many chips they need -- and why -- to get approval, according to The Information. The chips have emerged as a geopolitical flash point for the world's two largest economies.

Reliant on Nvidia hardware for AI training and inferencing since its outset, Turing now handles roughly 10% of its AI training needs with Advanced Micro Devices graphics processing units. Self-driving tech developer Turing has added AMD Ventures to its list of backers and begun adopting Advanced Micro Devices' AI accelerators in its systems. The five-year-old Japanese startup is adding to its capabilities as it builds toward a commercial launch. Reliant on Nvidia hardware for AI training and inferencing since its outset, Turing now handles roughly 10% of its AI training needs with AMD graphics processing units, company executives said in an interview. AMD, headquartered a stone's throw away from Nvidia in Santa Clara, California, presented a good chance to diversify supply and achieve lower costs, the executives said. "We've made notable progress with the technology.
