The South Korean chipmaker opened at $170 per share and raised $26.5 billion, surpassing Alibaba’s record as the largest debut of a foreign company, according to reports from The Associated Press and CNN .
Profiling in PyTorch (Part 3): Attention is all you profile The series "Profiling in PyTorch" is meant to make you comfortable reading profiler traces and tables. In Part 1 we profiled basic math operations like addition and multiplication.
Three years ago, Sequoia partner David Cahn was one of the first people to do the math and put a number on the implications of Silicon Valley’s titanic spend on AI infrastructure. In 2023 , he was reacting to Nvidia’s reported annual GPU revenue of $50 billion.
Gradium, a Paris-based startup that offers voice AI models, reopened its seed round to new investors, including Nvidia, and has now raised $100 million total for the round, it said Thursday . The company is using the cash to open an office in the Bay Area and compete for talent there, “strengthening its position at the heart of the world’s leading AI…
In a bid to lower its GPU costs amid an unprecedented component shortage, Meta is on track to start making the latest versions of its AI-specific chip in September, Reuters reported , citing an internal memo. At least one chip sailed through its testing phase in about six weeks, the memo said.
Long the leading light of the industry, Nvidia has had a bad couple of months. Bloomberg has the ugly details , but the upshot is that the company’s stock price has fallen 15% since its peak in May, even as projected revenue continues to grow.

Menlo Ventures, a firm that announced its latest $3 billion fund last month, is expected to lead the round, according to the report.
We’ve been running a bit of an Agent Cloud series surveying all the top inference/compute/cloud providers, from Databricks to Daytona to Railway and, even further back, E2B , but we’re excited to conclude this series returning to Modal, which has just raised a monster $355M Series C . The cloud was built for developers.
Data for Agents Why agentic AI needs open data, and why synthetic data is how we scale it. Image: Nemotron Post-Training v3 Prompt Atlas More Than Model Weights Building AI agents is hard, because the real world does not behave like a benchmark.
Prime Intellect, a startup that provides computing power and specialized software tools that help companies build AI agents, has raised a $130 million Series A at a $1 billion valuation. The massive round was led by Radical Ventures, with participation from Nvidia Ventures, Intel Capital, Dell Technologies Capital, Iconiq, and a long list of angel…
It’s not a great time to shop for a gaming laptop . The unprecedented rise in cost for RAM (and storage to a slightly lesser extent) has made laptops with low-to-midrange specs cost much more than they should.
For the last couple weeks, I’ve been in an extremely lucky position: I’ve been spending a lot of time playing games on Valve’s Steam Machine. We gave the Steam Machine a 6 , and I don’t disagree with my colleague Sean Hollister’s review.
The days of Nvidia’s unparalleled market dominance aren’t over, but challengers and choices are arising from all directions. ZML , a hot French AI startup endorsed by Turing Award winner Yann LeCun, has released inference -performance software that allows a variety of open source large language models to run on a variety of chips — including Nvidia’s,…
Congrats to Meta Superintelligence on having the top 2/3 image/video models in the world! This would’ve been a candidate for a title story, but unfortunately that is pretty much all the detail we have about Muse Image/Video - no paper, no technical detail whatsoever.
On Monday, Decagon CEO Jesse Zhang published a provocative new theory, posted under the title “Everyone is wrong about open source AI in the enterprise.” The post grapples with one of the most interesting contradictions of today’s AI economy: More mature AI deployments are switching to lighter models, he says, even at his own company. But the overall spend…
Hugging Face Models on Foundry Managed Compute At Microsoft Build 2026, we announced Foundry Managed Compute and Hugging Face models on Foundry — a curated catalog of open-weight models from the Hugging Face ecosystem, refreshed weekly, deployable in one click onto Foundry Managed Compute. Weights are pre-staged in Azure, runtimes are built and scanned by…

South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix, rival to Samsung and U.S.-based Micron , is planning to sell nearly 17.8 million shares in a U.S. IPO, the company said on Monday .
LeRobot v0.6.0: Imagine, Evaluate, Improve This new release is about closing the robot learning loop: policies that imagine the future before acting, reward models that tell you when your robot succeeds, a deployment CLI that turns failures into training data, and six new simulation benchmarks to measure it all. It also brings depth sensing, VLM-powered…
Fable was relaunched on schedule, and AIE was on top of it with the first Field Guide to Fable talk , as well as the rest of the excellent Richard MacManus coverage of AIEWF Day 3 across Autoresearch , Cursor FDE , and a followup to Zach Lloyd’s popular talk yesterday on Software Factories , as well as “all killer no filler” closing keynotes: AI News for…
Following the Trump directive that led Anthropic to pull its latest AI models offline and growing calls for sovereign tech that reduces reliance on the U.S. , Mistral AI has been caught in a whirlwind of attention.
Hugging Face and Cerebras bring Gemma 4 to real-time voice AI For voice AI, latency is a critical parameter. Developers have made tremendous progress in model quality, but the user experience is still often limited by response times.
We continue our series about model distillation. The AI of the Week, dives into Google’s new TabFM model for tabular and time series data.
