Nvidia joined a $190M round backing a startup building an open scale-up switch to rival its own NVLink fabric.

IDC says Nvidia took the No. 1 revenue spot in data center Ethernet switching in Q1 2026 with $2.1 billion and a 21.5% share, edging Arista.

At Automate 2026, NVIDIA unveiled Halos for Robotics, a three-layer functional-safety system spanning IGX Thor compute, Halos OS, and an ANAB-accredited inspection lab, with Agility Robotics as first adopter.

The startup says its 3nm Napier inference chip turns matrix multipliers into adders, with commercial sales of a 72-chip system slated for the second half of 2027.

The 550-billion-parameter model activates 55 billion parameters per token, ships under the Linux Foundation's OpenMDW-1.1 license, and trades blows with China's Kimi-K2.6 on coding benchmarks.

NVIDIA and Unitree announced a jointly developed open humanoid robot reference design built on Unitree's H2 Plus chassis, with 75 total degrees of freedom and Jetson Thor compute, due from Unitree in late 2026.

NVIDIA officially unveiled the RTX Spark Superchip at Computex 2026 — a 20-core Arm Grace CPU paired with a Blackwell GPU and up to 128GB of unified memory, launching in laptops from six OEMs in fall 2026.

Nvidia's Q1 FY2027 results set new company records across revenue, net income, and free cash flow, driven by Blackwell GPU demand and a near-tripling of networking revenue.

NVIDIA will reveal the N1/N1X SoC at Jensen Huang's June 1 GTC Taipei keynote, a Blackwell-GPU Arm chip co-developed with MediaTek targeting Dell and Lenovo laptops.

Mesa 26.1.0, released May 6, 2026, delivers over 40 new Vulkan extensions across major GPU drivers, adds VirtIO-GPU native-context support for Intel, and marks the end of VirGL maintenance.

NVIDIA VP Ian Buck personally delivered the first production Vera CPU systems to Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and Oracle in California, marking the commercial arrival of NVIDIA's first purpose-built agentic AI processor.

Google Cloud Run Worker Pools hit general availability on April 14, 2026, shipping with Blackwell GPU support and CREMA, an open-source KEDA-based autoscaler for queue-driven workloads.
