"The popularity of the Nano Banana AI image generator-which launched in August and allows users to make precise edits to AI images while preserving the quality of faces, animals, or other objects in the background-has caused a 300 million image surge for Gemini in the first few days in September already, according to a post on X by Josh Woodward, VP of Google Labs and Google Gemini."
"Huang, whose company was among a cohort of big US technology companies to announce investments into data centers, supercomputers, and AI research in the UK on Tuesday, is on a high. Speaking ahead of a white-tie event with UK prime minister Keir Starmer (where he plans to wear custom black leather tails), he's boisterously optimistic about the future of AI in the UK, saying the country is "too humble" about the country's potential for AI advancements."
"He cites the UK's pedigree in themes as wide as the industrial revolution, steam trains, DeepMind (now owned by Google), and university researchers, as well as other tangential skills. "No one fries food better than you do," he quips. "Your tea is good. You're great. Come on!""
Jensen Huang enthusiastically praised Gemini's Nano Banana image generator, highlighting its ability to make precise edits while preserving faces, animals, and background objects. Nano Banana launched in August and produced roughly a 300 million image surge for Gemini in early September, per Josh Woodward. Nvidia committed a $683 million equity investment to datacenter builder Nscale, joining investments from OpenAI and Microsoft. Huang projected that Nscale could generate more than $68 billion in revenues over six years. Huang expressed strong optimism about the UK's historical strengths, research pedigree, and potential to play a central role in AI development.
