The small, lightweight, inexpensive camcorder was a great liberator for filmmaking. Not only did it mark a significant leap in accessibility, it also made it easier for filmmakers to achieve the kind of raw, immediate visual language that had been established by directors like Spike Jonze in Video Days (1991).
Qualcomm is helping address one of the auto industry's most pressing needs - scaling intelligent vehicle technology to meet growing consumer demand for vehicles that are automated, connected and highly personalised.
Upload any picture or video, and Musubi uses artificial intelligence to extract the most important part and hover it in space as a 3D image within the frame. That could be a video of a child's first steps or a snapshot of a birthday party. The image will be displayed in 3D form, viewable in all its holographic glory across nearly 170 degrees.
The latter is a higher-end model aimed at content creators with a 27-inch 5K Retina XDR display that features a mini-LED display with 2,000-plus dimming zones, up to 2,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and a wider color gamut for improved accuracy. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate, addressing complaints about the relatively anemic 60Hz refresh rate of previous models.
Driving the news: Meta will buy millions of chips from Nvidia, ranging from standalone Grace CPUs to next-gen Blackwell GPUs and upcoming Vera Rubin systems, to use across its U.S. data center buildout. This makes Meta the first Big Tech firm to commit to buying standalone central processing units from Nvidia, which are used to run AI rather than train AI. This signals a shift toward inference over training, with the latter typically requiring more intense and expensive general processing units, or GPUs
Applied Digital ( NASDAQ:APLD ) has posted strong gains in 2026, rising nearly 68% year-to-date. The company has largely shaken off the concerns from last year over its heavy debt load used to finance rapid AI data center expansion. Yesterday, its stock surged more than 14%, closing at $41.35 per share, and Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) deserves credit for the gain. Debt Remains a Growing AI Headwind
On paper, Positron's next-gen Asimov accelerators, no doubt named for the beloved science fiction author, don't look like much of a match for Nvidia's Rubin GPUs. Yet, the Arm-backed AI startup boasts its inference chip will churn out five times as many tokens per dollar while using one-fifth the power of Nvidia's latest accelerators to do it. Those are certainly some bold claims, which the company contends are possible because the chip was designed to support large-scale inference workloads.
