Telecom operators are increasingly building their AI strategies on open models — and the reasons go beyond mere cost. Open models give telcos the ability to trust, control and customize AI across their most critical workloads — from autonomous networks to customer care. NVIDIA’s latest State of AI in Telecommunications report reflects this shift, with […]
GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast, running on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, is available now in the OpenAI API and to eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Accelerated by inference optimizations through OpenAI’s models that tap into the capabilities of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, Ultrafast offers up to 8x faster token generation than the Astra Standard mode. For developers, […]
AI factories are built by the megawatt, even by the gigawatt. Each megawatt factory costs roughly $60 million, and AI factory operators will only commit capital on that scale with a clear view of the return on investment. Three key things shape AI factory returns: Earning capacity: What the factory could earn in a year […]
Physical AI is moving rapidly from research to large-scale deployment. By 2035, ABI Research projects an installed base of 49 million level 3-5 autonomous vehicles (AVs), while Omdia estimates that roughly 60 million industrial robots will be deployed between 2026 and 2035. As these machines enter roads, factories, warehouses and other environments shared with people, […]
System performance, efficient infrastructure scaling and continuous software optimization are key levers that determine AI inference economics. Higher system performance means more tokens generated, resulting in higher revenue. Efficient scaling means throughput grows proportionally as hardware gets added, requiring fewer resources to serve users at scale. Continuous optimization means generating more value from infrastructure investments. […]
Know everything. Do anything. That was the message NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang brought to Salesforce Dreamforce Tuesday, joining CEO Marc Benioff onstage in an appearance that coincided with the announcement of Koa — Salesforce’s first CRM reasoning model, built on NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super. Huang didn’t just take the stage. He walked into […]
I’m excited to announce that NVIDIA has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12,930,300,000. Together, we will scale Hugging Face’s platform, strengthen its infrastructure and expand access to AI for developers and institutions worldwide. Over the past decade, Clem, Julien, Thomas and the team at Hugging Face have built something remarkable: a vibrant home for […]
“We’re at an inflection point in cybersecurity,” Jensen Huang told a sold-out crowd at CrowdStrike’s Fal.Con 2026 in Las Vegas Tuesday. Attacks are now automated. Defense has to be, too. The NVIDIA founder and CEO joined CrowdStrike CEO and founder George Kurtz to announce CrowdStrike SafeMind, its agentic cybersecurity system developed by the CrowdStrike Cyber […]
To generate intelligence at scale, AI factories run continuously, and their economics are defined by delivered output: tokens per second, tokens per watt, cost per token, utilization and uptime. That requires AI infrastructure designed and built as a full factory, not a collection of individual accelerators. Hyperscalers and AI-native companies building custom XPUs must consider […]
According to OpenRouter data, agentic AI workloads consume 15x more tokens than a simple chat request. Why? Consider what happens when an AI agent researches a company for an investment decision. The agent queries financial databases, searches news and filings, invokes a sub-agent to run peer comparisons and model valuations, then synthesizes everything into a […]
I nearly always open Sublime Text from the command line using subl and have specific requirements for when it should open a new window or re-use one. If I'm opening a directory, then I would like it to re-use the same window if I have previously opened that directory. However if I open a random file, I never want that file in the last directory window as it's unrelated. To do this I wrote a… continue reading.
Voice inversion is a primitive method of rendering speech unintelligible to prevent eavesdropping of radio or telephone calls. I wrote about some simple ways to reverse it in a previous post. I've since written a software tool, deinvert (on Codeberg), that does all this for us. It can also descramble a slightly more advanced scrambling method called split-band inversion. Let's see how that happens behind the scenes. Simple voice inversion Voice inversion works by inverting the audio spectrum at a set maximum frequency called the inversion carrier. Frequencies near this carrier will thus…
I've written about redsea, my RDS decoder project, many times before. It has changed a lot lately; it even has a version number, 0.7.6 as of this writing. What follows is a summary of its current state and possible future developments. Input formats Redsea can decode several types of data streams. The command-line switches to activate these can be found in the readme. Its main use, perhaps, is to demodulate an FM multiplex carrier, as received using a cheap rtl-sdr radio dongle and demodulated using rtl_fm. The multiplex is an FM demodulated signal sampled at 171 kHz, a convenient multiple of…
redsea is a command-line RDS decoder. I originally wrote it as a script to decode RDS from demultiplexed FM stereo sound. Later I've experimented with other ways to read the bits, and the latest addition is to support the RTL-SDR television receiver via the rtl_fm tool. Redsea is on GitHub. It has minimal dependencies (perl core modules, C standard library, rtl-sdr command-line tools) and has been tested to work on OSX and Linux with good enough FM reception. All test results, ideas, and pull requests are welcome. Update 12/2016: Redsea has seen a lot of development since this post was…
