📈 Nvidia projects $1 trillion in AI chip sales by 2027 LINK

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said at the company's GTC conference that the company expects to sell $1 trillion worth of Blackwell and Rubin chips by the end of 2027.

Nvidia unveiled the Groq 3 LPX rack, combining 72 Vera Rubin servers with 256 new language processing units, designed specifically for inference computing rather than training AI models.

The company also announced partnerships for autonomous driving with BYD, Geely Auto, Hyundai, and Nissan, plus a coalition of software companies working on frontier open-sourced AI models.

🛰️ Nvidia unveils AI chip for orbital data centers LINK

Nvidia announced computing platforms designed for orbital data centers at its GTC 2026 conference, marking a significant move to bring artificial intelligence processing into space environments.

The company's Vera Rubin Space-1 Module, which includes IGX Thor and Jetson Orin chips, is engineered for size-, weight- and power-constrained environments and will fly on missions led by multiple partners.

Cooling remains a key engineering hurdle because space lacks convection, while SpaceX — which acquired xAI for $1.25 trillion — has asked the FCC to launch 1 million satellites for AI centers.

🎯 OpenAI cuts side projects to focus on core business LINK

OpenAI is shifting away from launching many products at once and will now focus its resources on two core areas: coding tools and business customers, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications, called Anthropic's success in enterprise and coding a "wake-up call" and told employees the company "cannot miss this moment because we are distracted by side quests."

Products like the Sora video generator and an agent mode struggled after launch, with Sora's usage going flat after briefly hitting number one in the Apple App Store and the agent losing most users.

⏱️ Amazon launches 1-hour delivery across the US LINK

Amazon announced it is now offering one-hour and three-hour delivery options across parts of the U.S., covering about 2,000 cities and towns for three-hour service and hundreds for one-hour.

More than 90,000 products are eligible for three-hour-or-less delivery, including pantry items, cleaning supplies, over-the-counter medications, clothing, and toys, with no change to everyday low prices.

Amazon added a storefront shopping page and search filters so shoppers can find products available for one-hour or three-hour delivery, and plans to expand the service to more areas soon.

🤖 Data centers are turning to $200,000 robot dogs to guard the facilities LINK

Companies like Boston Dynamics and Ghost Robotics are selling four-legged robots, priced from $165,000 to $300,000, to patrol and inspect AI data centers around the clock.

Boston Dynamics says interest from data center clients has jumped sharply in the past year, with its Spot robot detecting temperature changes, leaks, and unusual noises across server halls.

Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 handles external perimeter security, and both companies say the robots are meant to augment human guards rather than replace them entirely.

🫠 Whistleblowers say Meta and TikTok profited from ragebait LINK

Whistleblowers from Meta and TikTok told a new BBC documentary that both companies knowingly allowed harmful ragebait content on their platforms because it drove engagement and growth.

A Meta engineer said staff were told to keep borderline material like misogynistic posts and conspiracy theories visible in feeds to compete with TikTok, partly because the stock price was down.

Internal TikTok dashboards reportedly showed complaints from politicians were prioritized over reports from young users, including a 16-year-old girl who flagged fake sexualized images of herself on the platform.
