Last week, viral videos of two former staffers of the Elon Musk-led government agency DOGE went viral. The videos offered a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how DOGE was run and how cuts to federal funding were determined.On Friday, a federal judge ordered the videos be removed after a complaint from the Trump administration.However, much to the chagrin of the U.S. government, internet archivists and forums like Reddit's r/datahoarders have already re-uploaded backups of the videos.The American C

Nvidia on Monday unveiled a deskside supercomputer powerful enough to run AI models with up to one trillion parameters — roughly the scale of GPT-4 — without touching the cloud.

Nvidia on Monday took the wraps off Vera Rubin, a sweeping new computing platform built from seven chips now in full production — and backed by an extraordinary lineup of customers that includes Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Mistral AI, along with every major cloud provider.The message to the AI industry, and to investors, was unmistakable: Nvidia is not slowing down. The Vera Rubin platform claims up to 10x more inference throughput per watt and one-tenth the cost per token compared with th

When an AI agent loses context mid-task because traditional storage can't keep pace with inference, it is not a model problem — it is a storage problem. At GTC 2026, Nvidia announced BlueField-4 STX, a modular reference architecture that inserts a dedicated context memory layer between GPUs and traditional storage, claiming 5x the token throughput, 4x the energy efficiency and 2x the data ingestion speed of conventional CPU-based storage.The bottleneck STX targets is key-value cache data.
