SAP plans to buy German AI startup Prior Labs and invest heavily in it. It is also prohibiting customers' agents use to a select few like Nvidia's NemoClaw.
NVlabs releases cuda-oxide v0.1.0, a custom rustc codegen backend that compiles #[kernel]-annotated Rust functions to PTX through a Rust → Stable MIR → Pliron IR → LLVM IR → PTX pipeline, with single-source host+device compilation from one cargo oxide build command.

NVIDIA researchers have introduced Star Elastic, a post-training method that embeds multiple nested reasoning models — at 30B, 23B, and 12B parameter scales — inside a single checkpoint, eliminating the need for separate training runs or stored model weights per variant. Built on the Nemotron Elastic framework and applied to Nemotron Nano v3, the method trains all three variants in a single 160B-token run, achieving a 360× token reduction compared to pretraining each model from scratch. Beyond training efficiency, Star Elastic introduces elastic budget control — a novel inference scheme that uses a smaller submodel for the thinking phase and the full model for the final answer — delivering up to 16% higher accuracy and 1.9× lower latency compared to standard budget control, while nested FP8 and NVFP4 checkpoints bring the full model family within reach of RTX-class GPUs.

Everyone wants a piece of the enterprise AI pie, and this week, we saw a string of companies making their moves. From Anthropic and OpenAI announcing new joint ventures targeting enterprise AI deployment to SAP dropping $1B on German AI startup Prior Labs, it’s becoming clear that if you’re a startup building enterprise tools, you’re likely an acquisition target. On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony […]
AI will help build the energy it needs. That’s the case U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and NVIDIA Vice President of Hyperscale and High-Performance Computing Ian Buck made Thursday morning at the SCSP AI+ Expo. The 30-minute fireside chat, moderated by SCSP president Ylli Bajraktari, was called “Powering the Next American Century.” Their argument: American […]

MRC (Multipath Reliable Connection) is a new open networking protocol developed by OpenAI in partnership with AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA that improves GPU networking performance and resilience in large-scale AI training clusters by spreading packets across hundreds of paths simultaneously, recovering from network failures in microseconds, and enabling supercomputers with over 100,000 GPUs to be built using only two tiers of Ethernet switches.
