Meta’s next limited-edition transparent Ray-Bans will drop in March.

Everything we know:

They’re “an exciting collaboration” that’s “straight from the runway” — so probably designer shades.
They’re clearly transparent from the promo images we got in email.
Limited to 3600 pairs, according to an image at the notify-me page. Meta’s last limited-edition (which I wound up returning to a Meta employee) was limited to 7,500.
“Nothing more to share at the moment but will be touch,” says our Meta glasses contact.

Clear, but what color and opacity?

Nvidia’s next AI chip, Blackwell Ultra, will be unveiled next month.

Nvidia is hosting its GTC keynote on March 18th, and its keynote speaker has just revealed his talk. “Come to GTC and I’ll talk to you about Blackwell Ultra, Vera Rubin, and then show you the one click after that,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told analysts on the fiscal Q4 2025 earnings call.

He says Blackwell Ultra will come in the second half of next year, with new networking, new memory, new processors, but on the same system architecture as Blackwell.

Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin were named on a roadmap last June.

Even Nvidia’s networking business is now bigger than gaming.

We knew that Nvidia and AMD were becoming AI companies, their data center profits rising so stratospherically that gaming graphics almost seem like an afterthought — but this chart truly puts it in perspective.

Not only is Nvidia’s AI compute selling nine times better than its gaming GPUs, its networking business alone has surpassed gaming for the full fiscal year. Not that an $11.35 billion gaming business is anything to sneeze at.

Compare: $12.99B of networking vs. $11.35B of gaming.

Nvidia just made another $22 billion in pure profit in Q4.

$14.8 billion profit in Q1, $16.6 billion in Q2, $19.3 billion in Q3 — and now, $22.09 billion in profit in fiscal Q4 2025. Add it up, divide, and on average: Nvidia now makes $2,300 in pure profit every second.

While I know it’s not all investors and businesses care about, I’ve always been fascinated by massive profits because of all they could be used for, whether it’s investing in moonshots, buying other companies, solving world hunger, or just making their pricy products more affordable.

Nvidia set quarterly and annual revenue records, too. Gaming was down, all other businesses up.

Here’s Framework’s first touchscreen laptop.

Can Framework fix budget laptops next? That’s the goal, and Framework CEO Nirav Patel says he’ll be dogfooding it himself, making this 12-inch laptop his daily driver for the foreseeable future. He wouldn’t tell me just how budget it’ll go yet.
