Learn more, scroll less. Curated AI/Tech/Business news and articles.

🌟 Welcome to the latest edition of Top249 🤩 

We're here to keep you updated on AI, tech, and business news and articles, so you can save time and focus on learning and growth.

Let's get started! 😎 

AI & Tech Frontier

  • Nvidia is creating a dedicated industrial AI cloud in Germany using 10,000 GPUs, including DGX B200 and RTX Pro servers.

  • The cloud will support industrial use cases like robotics, digital twins, and simulation-heavy tasks through platforms like Omniverse.

  • This move is part of Nvidia’s strategy to power AI-driven industries and position itself as a core infrastructure provider.

  • Wikipedia halted its AI-generated article summaries after backlash from editors over accuracy and trust issues.

  • The summaries were part of a limited mobile experiment but faced immediate criticism for introducing unverified or biased content.

  • The decision highlights Wikipedia’s ongoing commitment to community-based content moderation over automated systems.

  • Most enterprise AI agents fail to go live due to complex, manual evaluation processes and lack of trust in outcomes.

  • Databricks introduced “Agent Bricks,” a platform that automates agent evaluation, benchmarking, and optimization using synthetic data.

  • The goal is to help companies confidently deploy AI agents at scale without deep technical tuning.

  • Amazon has increased the number of ads on Prime Video, doubling ad breaks from about 3 minutes to 6 minutes per hour.

  • The increase follows the company's global ad rollout in early 2024 and was shared with advertisers while being kept low-key with subscribers.

  • Amazon is exploring new ad formats, including interactive and contextually targeted ads, starting with markets like the UK.

  • Nvidia believes physical AI—used in robotics, automation, and digital twins—could become a $50 trillion market.

  • The company is leveraging its platforms like Omniverse, Isaac, and RTX servers to enable development of real-world AI systems.

  • Nvidia’s strategy focuses on moving from just chips to end-to-end AI infrastructure for the next industrial revolution.

  • Scientists used AI to reanalyse black hole data from the Event Horizon Telescope, generating a new image of the Milky Way’s core.

  • The findings suggest Sagittarius A*, our galaxy’s central black hole, is spinning near its theoretical maximum.

  • This marks a major advancement in astrophysics, showing how AI can extract meaningful insights from complex or discarded data.

Business Briefs

  • Coco Robotics, a startup focused on last-mile delivery using autonomous sidewalk robots, has raised $80 million in new funding.

  • The company plans to scale its robot fleet, expand into new urban markets, and enhance its AI systems for efficient navigation and delivery.

  • Backed by high-profile investors including Sam Altman, Coco aims to be a major player in the future of on-demand, low-cost urban logistics.

  • Former President Donald Trump announced a tentative agreement with China to end the long-standing trade war, which includes maintaining a 55% effective tariff on Chinese goods.

  • China has agreed to resume exports of critical rare earth minerals and magnets, along with continuing student exchange programs and easing tariffs on U.S. imports to 10%.

  • The deal still awaits formal approval by both Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with hopes it will stabilise strained economic ties and global markets.

Hidden Gems / Learn & Grow

  • A course for beginners on practical Deep Learning

Did You Know? If Amazon had only stuck to selling books when it launched in 1995, it might never have become a trillion-dollar company. Today, over 50% of its revenue comes from services like cloud computing (AWS), advertising, and subscriptions—not retail sales.

Till next time.
