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!

Huang is set to share “what’s next in AI” during a CES presentation at 4PM ET. You can watch the event from the livestream embedded below or by heading directly to YouTube.

Nvidia won’t be announcing its rumored RTX 50 Super GPUs at CES today, but it still has some “features, games, apps, and partner products” to unveil. A GeForce On Twitch stream will start at 9PM PT / 12AM ET tonight, and if leaks are anything to go by it sounds like DLSS 4.5 could be on the menu.

CNBC reports Nvidia isn’t buying all of Groq, which has inference AI tech that IBM’s CEO recently told us “looks like it’ll be 10x cheaper” than GPUs.

In the spring, Reuters broke the news that Nvidia and Broadcom were testing Intel’s 18A process for chip production, but in a profile today of Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, the outlet now says Nvidia’s test has ended, regardless of their new $5 billion deal.

Active paid GeForce Now members who signed up before 2025 had been exempt, but starting January 1st, 2026, the cap is in place for them, too. Founders members will continue to have unlimited playtime, Nvidia says.

The White House is planning to give Nvidia the green light to begin exporting its H200 AI GPU chips to China, according to reports from Semafor and the WSJ. As noted by the WSJ, the H200 chip is more powerful than the scaled-down H20 GPU that China has cracked down on, but it still doesn’t rival Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs.

In the story I wrote about CoreWeave, analyst Gil Luria told me the company has “to keep borrowing more and more because they spend more money than they can get, structurally. They have to continue to borrow to pay interest on the last loan.” Aren’t you glad Nvidia helped them go public?

Huang said this during a company meeting with employees last week, Fortune reports. Apparently some managers have told Nvidia employees to use less AI? Not on Huang’s watch. He said he wants AI to automate “every task” that can be automated with AI – and employees shouldn’t worry about AI taking their jobs in the process.

Samsung and Nvidia just announced a new “AI megafactory” powered by more than 50,000 Nvidia chips, where AI “analyzes, predicts and optimizes” every step of semiconductor manufacturing, from initial designs to final quality control.
