  2. OpenAI and Synopsys team up to build an AI model that designs chips like a seasoned engineer

    OpenAI and Synopsys have signed a multi-year strategic partnership to build a specialized AI model for chip design called GPT-Synopsys. Synopsys makes electronic design automation (EDA) tools, the software engineers use to design computer chips and semiconductors. GPT-Synopsys combines OpenAI's AI technology with Synopsys' EDA tools. OpenAI is licensing Synopsys' EDA tools for the project.

  3. Destro AI’s secret sauce is getting robots and humans on the same page

    Destro emerged from stealth with $8 million in seed funding. Its AI intelligence layer directs both robots and human workers to carry out cross-docking in Yusen Logistics operations. Built on an open-weight vision-language-action model, it uses the Vision operating system to drive robots and the Mothership operating system to coordinate people, goods and vehicles. Its pilot has expanded from 3 robots to 26, with a new 17-robot pilot launched in Southern California.

  2. China's AI industry closes ranks as Deepseek ships open-source software for Huawei's Ascend chips

    DeepSeek and Huawei have collaborated on programming tools for Ascend chips and released them all as open source. At their core is TileLang, a language that is easier to learn than CUDA. It was originally developed by researchers at Peking University, and DeepSeek has used it for about a year. The companies have also optimised a supernode comprising 128 Ascend 950 chips, with Huawei saying it provided full support. DeepSeek argues that an independent AI chip software ecosystem first needs a general-purpose language that is easy to program and can fully exploit the hardware's performance.

  1. Google's first Suncatcher orbital data center test launches October 1

    Google's Project Suncatcher will launch its first test satellite, MVP, on 1 October to validate an orbital AI data-centre concept. Roughly refrigerator-sized, it carries four Google-designed TPU accelerators and about one kilowatt of solar power. Google integrated the chips into a satellite already built by imaging company Planet Labs to accelerate progress; the original plan was to launch two custom satellites in 2027.

  3. From Enablement to Execution, Egypt’s AI Ecosystem Reaches Production Scale

    NVIDIA held an AI ecosystem event at the Grand Egyptian Museum, with Egyptian Deep Learning Institute participation growing over tenfold in a year. Hassan Allam received a data centre licence from Egypt's National Telecom Regulatory Authority and is developing a new centre with A15 with expected investment of $400 million. NVIDIA says four African AI factories have been announced or launched, with another 656 MW under construction.

  3. From Megawatts to Tokens: How NVIDIA Maximizes AI Factory Production

    NVIDIA introduced DSX at AI Infra Summit to improve AI-factory token throughput within a fixed power budget. Lambda validated DSX MaxLPS on a five-rack, 19-node HGX B200 cluster, running 19 nodes within the same budget as 16 at full power. Cluster token throughput rose 24%, from around four million to five million tokens per second, with performance per watt up 23%.

  1. Cloudera and Mistral Partner to Bring Specialized, Sovereign Intelligence to Enterprise Data

    Mistral and Cloudera partnered to integrate Mistral models into Cloudera's hybrid data platform. Enterprises can run inference in private or public clouds, on-premises and fully air-gapped environments with full control. They can train custom models on proprietary data in controlled environments while retaining ownership of data and resulting intelligence. Cloudera runs 30 exabytes of customer-managed data.

  1. A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones

    With Google's support, UC San Diego plans a data centre using motherboards from 2,000 retired Pixel phones to provide low-cost, low-carbon cloud computing for hundreds of students and faculty. SPEC benchmarks show 25–50 phones roughly equal one modern server. Phones form Kubernetes-managed clusters of 25–50 devices, with launch expected in autumn 2026.
