One hardware announcement and several software highlights from Microsoft Build.
Accelerated computing has revolutionized industrial engineering, compressing simulation times from weeks to hours. Today’s remaining challenges sit in the end-to-end workflow surrounding the simulations: computer-aided design, meshing, simulation setup and debugging, as well as post-processing and generating summary reports of these processes. At GTC Taipei at COMPUTEX, NVIDIA and more than a dozen engineering software […]
Microsoft missed the boat on apps, so get ready for agents.
Lawsuit: Ring cameras scan guests and passersby and use AI to identify faces.
The agentic AI moment has arrived, but delivering on its promise requires more than good models. It also takes fast hardware, secure runtimes, a responsive data layer and models tuned for long-running reasoning. NVIDIA and Microsoft are bringing that full stack to developers across Windows devices, Azure cloud and local deployments. At Microsoft Build, NVIDIA […]
Financial institutions have spent years building AI: fraud models, credit models, recommendation engines and risk systems. While this sprawl of task-specific models has been effective, it’s also constrained by siloed systems. Siloed systems prevent institutions from developing a unified understanding of consumers’ financial behavior. As enterprise datasets keep growing, so does the gap between what […]
Agentic AI is getting physical. At COMPUTEX on Tuesday, NVIDIA announced NVIDIA JetPack 7.2 and NVIDIA NemoClaw support on NVIDIA Jetson.

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. TQ Ventures led the round, with participation from FPV Ventures , Redpoint , and Unusual Ventures . The investment values Railway as one of the most significant infrast
The artificial intelligence coding revolution comes with a catch: it's expensive. Claude Code , Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can write, debug, and deploy code autonomously, has captured the imagination of software developers worldwide. But its pricing — ranging from $20 to $200 per month depending on usage — has sparked a growing rebellion among the very programmers it aims to serve. Now, a free alternative is gaining traction. Goose , an open-source AI agent develope
Alfred Wahlforss was running out of options. His startup, Listen Labs , needed to hire over 100 engineers, but competing against Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million offers seemed impossible. So he spent $5,000 — a fifth of his marketing budget — on a billboard in San Francisco displaying what looked like gibberish: five strings of random numbers. The numbers were actually AI tokens. Decoded, they led to a coding challenge: build an algorithm to act as a digital bouncer at Berghain, the Ber
Salesforce on Tuesday launched an entirely rebuilt version of Slackbot , the company's workplace assistant, transforming it from a simple notification tool into what executives describe as a fully powered AI agent capable of searching enterprise data, drafting documents, and taking action on behalf of employees. The new Slackbot, now generally available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, is Salesforce's most aggressive move yet to position Slack at the center of the emergin
Anthropic released Cowork on Monday, a new AI agent capability that extends the power of its wildly successful Claude Code tool to non-technical users — and according to company insiders, the team built the entire feature in approximately a week and a half, largely using Claude Code itself. The launch marks a major inflection point in the race to deliver practical AI agents to mainstream users, positioning Anthropic to compete not just with OpenAI and Google in conversational AI, but w
Nous Research , the open-source artificial intelligence startup backed by crypto venture firm Paradigm , released a new competitive programming model on Monday that it says matches or exceeds several larger proprietary systems — trained in just four days using 48 of Nvidia's latest B200 graphics processors . The model, called NousCoder-14B , is another entry in a crowded field of AI coding assistants, but arrives at a particularly charged moment: Claude Code , the agentic programming t
