Nvidia is accelerating its push into what it calls physical AI by unveiling new open AI models and developer tools designed to advance autonomous driving and robotics research.  The centerpiece of this launch is Alpamayo R1, an open reasoning vision language model that the company describes as the first action-oriented model tailored specifically for autonomous driving. By combining visual perception with language-based reasoning, Alpamayo R1 allows vehicles to interpret the

Researchers at Örebro University have developed two advanced AI models that could significantly improve how dementia is detected, using nothing more than the brain’s natural electrical activity captured through EEG signals.  These models were designed to distinguish between healthy individuals and those with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia, offering new hope for earlier and more accessible diagnosis. By combining temporal convolutional net

The artificial intelligence hardware market has long been defined by Nvidia’s dominance, but new developments from Qualcomm and Alphabet suggest the landscape may be shifting.  With a market cap exceeding $4.4 trillion, Nvidia has reached a level of influence rivalled historically only by corporations built to run colonial trade empires. Its GPUs became the gold standard not just for gaming and crypto mining, but also for powering the deep-learning boom thanks to a combinati

Jeff Bezos is stepping back into a hands-on leadership role for the first time since leaving Amazon in 2021, taking on the position of co-CEO at a new artificial intelligence startup called Project Prometheus. The venture, which has already secured an extraordinary $6.2 billion in funding, is shaping up to be one of the most heavily financed early-stage startups ever launched ( Investing.com ; Forbes; TechBuzz). Bezos is contributing part of the investment himself, signaling

Google’s latest innovation in artificial intelligence hardware marks a significant step toward the future of computing, as the company unveils its seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit, dubbed Ironwood . These custom-built chips are designed specifically for artificial intelligence workloads and signal a major shift toward what Google calls the “age of inference.” Unlike Nvidia’s general-purpose GPUs, Google’s TPUs are application-specific integrated circuits, meaning the

A team of researchers from University College London (UCL) has developed an advanced AI-assisted brain atlas that allows scientists to visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail, marking a major milestone in neuroscience and neuroimaging ( News-Medical.net ; Medical Xpress; Mirage News). Named NextBrain , the atlas provides a comprehensive map of the adult human brain, enabling the analysis of MRI scans in just minutes while offering a level of resolution that was prev
