NEWS UPDATES

Nvidia Moves AI Chipmaking to U.S.

Nvidia is building major chip plants in Texas and Arizona to make and test AI chips at scale. Production has already started, with mass output expected in 12–15 months. This shift follows pressure from the Trump administration and helps Nvidia dodge export limits on key chips.

Why it matters

This move secures Nvidia’s supply chain, keeps high-demand AI chip production close to home, and aligns with U.S. policy. It also signals a deeper tech-industrial shift.

Insight

Leaders should expect tighter U.S.-China tech splits. Watch for AI infra cost swings, new talent gaps, and rising U.S. manufacturing plays.

Open Source Robots Enter the Chat

Hugging Face just bought Pollen Robotics, maker of a humanoid robot called Reachy 2. The plan: sell the robot and open its code and hardware so anyone can improve it. This mirrors Hugging Face’s playbook in AI—now applied to physical machines.

Why it matters

Open robots could speed up R&D, cut costs, and shift robotics from secret labs to open teams. That changes who builds and who owns the future of automation.

Insight

Expect faster hardware breakthroughs. Leaders should track open robotics talent, tools, and possible use cases in logistics, homes, and R&D

OpenAI Tightens Access to Future Models

OpenAI will soon require ID checks for some future models on its API. Only verified organizations with government ID will get access, and each ID can be used once every 90 days.

Why it matters

This limits who can use cutting-edge AI, reduces abuse, and protects model IP. It may slow down some enterprise experiments or vendor partnerships.

Insight

Leaders should audit current OpenAI usage, prep for access delays, and push vendors to verify early. Expect more AI platforms to follow with similar controls.
