NVIDIA hardware, software, and developer news.
NVIDIA's Bolt E4B squeezes a talkative, tool-calling agent into a small local memory budget, a real win for on-device AI, with benchmarks that are NVIDIA's own and a name that oversells.
A flock of waddling open-source robots stole a keynote and racked up preorders overnight, and the real story is home robotics arriving as a toy first.
Part 2 turns TensorRT's tuning theory into knobs, a search loop and a hard accuracy gate, and Nvidia's own numbers show why one default build was leaving real speed behind.
Part 1 of Nvidia's TensorRT tuner series is really a confession: hand-written compiler heuristics stop scaling once every model behaves differently, and the fix is to measure rather than predict.
Nvidia's Microduck walkthrough shows agents taking a robot from a written prompt to a trained walking policy, and the tidy pipeline makes it easy to forget how much still has to be checked by people.
inDrive wants robotaxis in Astana by 2027, and the real test isn't the tech demo — it's whether driverless rides can win in markets where human drivers are already cheap.
Kazakhstan wants to turn its energy into exported intelligence, and NVIDIA's chief showed up in Astana to bless the plan, with tens of thousands of GPUs attached.
A SpaceX-Tesla merger is being sold as a superintelligence play, but the clearest winners on paper are one man's control and one man's pay package.
Nvidia's KvikIO tutorial is plumbing, but it answers a question many GPU teams quietly get wrong: is your data actually taking the fast path from disk to GPU?
Eight desk-sized boxes can now hold a 753-billion-parameter open model, and that pushes serious AI work back toward the people who own the hardware.
NVIDIA's new Minerva platform treats a GPU cluster's wasted hours as the problem worth solving, and it wants to own the operator's view of the entire AI factory.
Europe's banks are betting on open-weight models they can run on their own data and infrastructure, and NVIDIA is happy to sell them the hardware underneath.
