OpenAI’s latest round of private investment has closed, with participation from Amazon, Nvidia, Softbank, and Microsoft, as well as $3 billion from individual investors, as it prepares for a potential IPO. This comes after it announced the end of its video generator Sora, and the announcement says it will focus on building a “unified superapp” with ChatGPT, Codex, browsing, and other agents all built in.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang thinks we’ve achieved AGI — artificial general intelligence — which would sound more impressive if anyone could agree what it actually means, or whether it’s even the right term. But hey, that just means Huang can define it how he likes, and claim success whenever it’s convenient.

“The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI,” Huang said, according to Tom’s Hardware, and he noted that developers can “fine-tune the generative AI.”

During GTC on Monday, Nvidia announced it’s launching NemoClaw, an agentic AI platform that adds privacy and security protections to the autonomous AI platform OpenClaw by running it in an “isolated sandbox” environment:

Nvidia’s also got a whole blog post dedicated to the “real-time neural rendering model that infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials.” It’s coming this fall with support from Bethesda, Capcom, Hotta Studio, NetEase, NCSoft, S-Game, Tencent, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Games to start.

The GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.59 that optimizes DLSS features for the game on PC has been temporarily removed after Nvidia discovered a bug impacting fan control and monitoring. Anyone who already installed the driver is being advised to roll back to 591.86 WHQL while the issue is investigated.

Nvidia just reported a record $68.1 billion in revenue for Q4 of 2026, up from $39.3 billion last year, with $62.3 billion coming from its data center business alone.

After a previously-announced $100 billion deal went “on ice,” as The Wall Street Journal reported, Nvidia is nearing a $30 billion equity investment as part of a larger funding round, the Financial Times reports. The investment might be tied up as soon as this weekend.

Starting on Thursday, GeForce Now users can stream games directly on Amazon Fire TV devices, including a few new arrivals coming this week like Reanimal and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Fire TVs join a growing list of platforms with support for Nvidia GeForce Now, which even includes Linux.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, that is, re: the Nvidia Shield TV, likely the most supported Android gadget ever at over a decade. Nvidia’s Andrew Bell tells Ars Technica a new model isn’t in active development, but hints at what he’d add (like AV1 and YouTube HDR). He says Nvidia doesn’t profit off its Netflix button, BTW.

The deal, announced in September, is “on ice,” according to The Wall Street Journal, though there are apparently still talks about a deal of some kind:

Nvidia promised to deliver a native GeForce Now Linux app earlier this month, and it’s now releasing a beta today. The native Linux app is a highly requested feature for GeForce Now, especially as subscribers have had to rely on unofficial apps or browser tweaks to get access to the service.

Nvidia is launching Remix Logic today, a new RTX Remix update that allows modders to add dynamic graphics effects inside games.

The 25 percent tariff announced on Wednesday only applies to chips imported into the US then exported to other countries, as the New York Times reports. While it won’t apply to chips imported for use in the US, it will let the government collect some of the earnings from sales of AI chips to China.

Sales of Nvidia’s AI chips to customers in China will be approved on a “case-by-case basis,” as Bloomberg reports. But the chips shipped to China can be “no more than 50% of the total products made for the US market,” and can’t create a shortage in the US.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang brought a pair of adorable BDX droids on stage while speaking about the future of AI and robotics. These little bots probably can’t put a towel inside a washing machine, but they sure are cute!
