Check out today’s stories for all the details, and stay with us throughout the week as we bring you more updates from CES 2025. Let’s discover it together!
Top AI news
1. NVIDIA's AI and Apple's Vision Pro Revolutionize Humanoid Robot Training
NVIDIA has introduced "Cosmos," an AI platform designed to enhance humanoid robots by leveraging vast video datasets to improve their understanding of the physical world. Using Apple’s Vision Pro, users can create actions that are captured as a digital twin, enabling robots to repeatedly execute them in simulation. This approach accelerates the development of adaptable robots capable of performing complex tasks in dynamic environments.
2. NVIDIA’s $3,000 Personal AI Supercomputer Launching in May
NVIDIA unveiled Project Digits, a compact personal AI supercomputer priced at $3,000, set to launch in May 2025. Targeted at key partners, the device features the cutting-edge GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, offering 128GB of unified memory and up to 4TB of NVMe storage. It is designed to handle massive AI models with up to 200 billion parameters, providing researchers and enthusiasts the ability to work on advanced AI projects outside traditional datacenters. NVIDIA aims to democratize powerful AI tools, making them accessible for personal and professional use, a major step forward in artificial intelligence innovation.
3. Nvidia's Autonomous Driving Platform Hits Safety Milestone
Nvidia’s Drive Hyperion platform, a complete solution for self-driving cars, has passed major safety tests by top industry experts TÜV SÜD and TÜV Rheinland. The platform includes cutting-edge technology like the Drive AGX processor, a special automotive operating system, advanced sensors, and features for safer driving and partial automation. Big carmakers like Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volvo are already using it. Designed to be flexible and easy to upgrade, it will work with future versions of Nvidia's processors. The newest version, featuring the high-powered AGX Thor processor, is expected to launch in the first half of this year.
Bonus. Revolutionizing Energy: Bucci's Boiling Research
MIT Associate Professor Matteo Bucci's decade-long research into the physics of boiling has led to significant advancements in understanding heat transfer processes. In 2023, his team developed a unifying principle addressing the boiling crisis, a phenomenon where rapid bubble formation creates a vapor layer that hinders heat transfer. This breakthrough holds promise for enhancing the efficiency of nuclear reactors and preventing catastrophic failures. Bucci's work extends beyond nuclear applications, potentially benefiting energy production, electronics cooling, water desalination, and medical diagnostics by improving the efficiency of boiling processes integral to these industries.
