Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortuna
Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agen
Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging as the fi
Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to prod
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is coming to GeForce NOW at launch, with the playable demo available this week. It’s joined by Denshattack! rolling in with five new games arriving in the cloud.

General-purpose robots and autonomous machines are moving from research labs to real-world mass-market deployment, creating demand for compact, power-efficient AI supercomputers capable of running foundation models at the edge. To meet that need, NVIDIA today introduced the T3000 and T2000, new modules based on the NVIDIA Thor architecture that enable mass-market robotics and edge AI […]
Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception. This wave of VentureBeat
Home to leading manufacturers, robotics pioneers, infrastructure builders and iconic gaming companies, of course, Japan is one of the world’s centers of AI — building across the full stack with NVIDIA technologies. This week NVIDIA and its partners in Japan are showcasing the AI ecosystem’s latest advancements. Check back here for updates.
Enterprises have plenty of powerful models to choose from. The real test is whether the AI an enterprise builds uniquely addresses the needs of the business: improving workflows, tapping into domain knowledge and exceeding standards for accuracy and trust.
Power is AI infrastructure’s inescapable constraint. How many tokens an AI factory can generate within a fixed power budget determines its revenue and profitability. Because of this, performance per watt — a metric that can’t be gamed, only earned through real-world results — is the foundation for AI factories. As agentic AI drives token demand […]

As AI moves from model development to production inference, compute demand is accelerating and shifting toward continuously operating AI factories that generate tokens at scale. This shift requires access to large‑scale, multi‑tenant accelerated computing that can come online quickly, stay highly utilized and support the economics of token‑scale AI services. Emerging AI companies historically have […]
NVIDIA and its partners are investing in American manufacturing, supply chains, energy grids and skilled workforces so the U.S. can produce the infrastructure needed for better healthcare, breakthrough scientific discovery, stronger industrial productivity and global technology leadership.
Life sciences has entered an era of computational scale, and for more than a decade, NVIDIA has built the full GPU-accelerated computing stack — spanning hardware, frameworks, libraries, models, microservices and domain-specific tools — to help researchers run more sophisticated workflows and iterate faster. This week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, an AI workbench for science […]
As organizations move from AI pilots to production AI factories, infrastructure decisions have shifted from peak chip specifications to cost per token: how many useful tokens they can deliver per dollar, per watt and within required latency targets.

When Jaiveer Singh talks about robots, he doesn’t begin with spectacle.

As a robotics software engineer who leads the team behind […]
For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm. At its annual I/O developer conference , Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself — the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day — transforming it from a simple keyword input into a dynamic, AI-driven con
Railway , a San Francisco-based cloud platform that has quietly amassed two million developers without spending a dollar on marketing, announced Thursday that it raised $100 million in a Series B funding round, as surging demand for artificial intelligence applications exposes the limitations of legacy cloud infrastructure.
