Caterpillar is digging deeper into incorporating AI and automation into its fleet of construction machinery through a partnership with semiconductor giant Nvidia.
The construction equipment giant is piloting an AI assistive system in its mid-size Cat 306 CR Mini Excavator. Dubbed “Cat AI,” the system was built using Nvidia’s Jetson Thor physical AI platform, and is being demoed…
RTX graphics on CPUs: Nvidia and Intel are officially joining forces
September 19, 2025
Nvidia is on top of the world right now, riding waves of investment in “AI” and becoming one of the most powerful and most profitable companies on the planet. Intel? Not so much. The company has been struggling in sales and performance for more than a year.
So color me…
Nvidia is sitting on an absolutely mind-boggling amount of money… like, enough to make Solomon and Midas and Croesus go, “Wow, that’s a lot of money.” It’s become one of, if not the, richest companies on the planet by riding both the crypto and AI chip booms. But…
As demand for large-scale AI deployment skyrockets, the lesser-known, private chip startup Positron is positioning itself as a direct challenger to market leader Nvidia by offering dedicated, energy-efficient, memory-optimized inference chips aimed at relieving the industry’s mounting cost, power, and availability bottlenecks.
“A key differentiator is our ability to run frontier AI models with…
Generative AI adoption has surged by 187% over the past two years. But at the same time, enterprise security investments focused specifically on AI risks have grown by only 43%, creating a significant gap in preparedness as AI attack surfaces rapidly expand. More than 70%…
From MIPS to exaflops in mere decades: Compute power is exploding, and it will transform AI
April 7, 2025
At the recent Nvidia GTC conference, the company unveiled what it described as the first single-rack system of servers capable of one exaflop — one billion billion, or a quintillion, floating-point operations (FLOPS) per second. This breakthrough is based on the latest…
Nvidia it is working with Google Quantum AI to accelerate the design of its next-generation quantum computing devices using simulations powered by Nvidia.
Google Quantum AI is using the hybrid quantum-classical computing platform and the Nvidia Eos supercomputer to simulate the physics of its quantum processors. This will help overcome the current limitations of quantum computing hardware, which…
The AI beat goes on…with a farewell | The AI Beat
March 22, 2024
Last weekend I flew to San Francisco, preparing for several days of immersion into all things Nvidia and AI. I needed to muster all of my energy for the company’s annual GTC conference, but I didn’t sleep in. I shrugged off my jet lag and headed down to Monterey for two…
Nvidia is launching its most powerful systems yet with the new DGX SuperPod, as part of a broad rollout of hardware and software at the Nvidia GTC conference today.
The DGX in recent years has become one of Nvidia’s primary server hardware and cloud systems. The new DGX…
Generative AI offers real ROI — but also consumes a huge amount of compute and resources. In this VB Spotlight event, leaders from NVIDIA and Supermicro share how to identify critical use cases and the build the AI-ready platform that’s crucial for success.
Generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across industries. But it’s also resource-hungry…
