NVIDIA hardware, software, and developer news.
WIRED reports Nvidia’s CEO has worked with Heller, known for advising powerful men in personal scandals, since at least October 2025, and press questions about him were routed through it. Hiring a crisis firm isn’t wrongdoing; the gap between public line and private posture raises the bar for the board review.
At CoRL in Austin, Nvidia released GR00T 2, an open world action model on Cosmos, with Isaac Lab 3.0 and new benchmarks. Vendor-reported few-demonstration results and a 39x cheaper assembly policy point at factory value; independent reproduction and stack concentration are the caveats.
At a forum co-hosted with Korea’s science ministry, Nvidia said it invested in Point2 and plans stakes in Motif Technologies, RLWRLD and Upstage, amounts undisclosed. The spread maps where Nvidia wants a foothold, and deepens Korea’s dependence on one vendor’s roadmap.
The question isn't only whether Jensen Huang keeps his job; it's whether an AI economy wired through one company and one founder's judgment can absorb a crisis at its center.
The most useful number in NVIDIA's Korea physical-AI roundup isn't about robots at all; it's a Samsung chip simulation that dropped from about 18 hours to 41 seconds.
The agent story out of Korea this weekend is about containment: Hyundai and AIM Intelligence are testing sandboxes and policy controls before letting agents touch real enterprise systems.
Nvidia is wrapping Korea's sovereign AI push in its own stack, from interconnect to training, and the open question is how sovereign that leaves the country's homegrown chip makers.
Ready-made serving recipes for four Korean open models are a genuinely useful shortcut, and also a quiet way of making Nvidia's newest GPUs the default home for them.
Read closely, Jensen Huang's apology does two different jobs: it confesses a personal failure in full, and it handles the national security question with a far shorter, more careful hand.
Nvidia's board has opened an independent review of its CEO's relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese intelligence asset, and the stakes reach well past one company's governance.
Secondhand reporting of a U.S. intelligence memo has put Nvidia's CEO in a counterintelligence story that also carries an unverified personal allegation — and almost no confirmed facts.
NVIDIA’s Dory 4B turns extra reasoning compute into a load-time loop count — one 3.7 GB file, four budgets — but the GGUF quietly defaults to the most expensive setting on an unmerged llama.cpp fork.
