At CES, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang shifted his prediction for a robotics “ChatGPT moment” from “around the corner” to “nearly here.” The company unveiled new AI models and tools for self-driving cars and robots, but building the actual machines is a much harder problem. The gap between simulation and rea
Accenture is acquiring UK-based AI startup Faculty in an undisclosed deal. Meanwhile, a new demo shows developers running multiple AI coding agents from just a smartphone, hinting at a major shift in how software gets built.
NVIDIA announced at CES 2026 that Total War: PHARAOH is getting an in-game AI advisor powered by its ACE tools. The feature will be tested by select players later in 2026. This follows a similar AI companion being tested in PUBG.
AMD is launching its Ryzen AI 400 series processors, featuring more powerful XDNA 2 NPUs and the first Copilot+ chips for desktops. The top model boasts 12 Zen 5 cores and a 60 TOPS NPU, promising significant performance gains. Yet, the real-world need for this AI horsepower remains a big question.
Nvidia just announced its next-generation Rubin AI accelerator is in production and on track for customer deployment in the second half of the year. The chip promises a 3.5x boost in AI training and a 5x jump in running AI models, with Microsoft among the first to get it.
Nvidia has unveiled its next-generation Rubin AI supercomputing platform, promising massive efficiency gains over its predecessor. The first systems will ship to major cloud partners like AWS, Google, and Microsoft in late 2026.
NVIDIA has reportedly started full production of its Rubin AI chips well ahead of its original schedule. The move accelerates its already blistering product cadence as it aims to supply major cloud partners by the second half of 2026.
Acer is targeting a new hybrid user at CES 2026: the AI-power user who also games. Its new Predator and Nitro laptops come with Copilot+ certification and NPUs for on-device AI tasks, all while packing serious gaming specs like RTX 5070 GPUs.
Motorola appears to be developing a wearable AI device, codenamed “Project Maxwell,” that looks strikingly similar to the failed Humane AI Pin. The concept promises real-time insights via camera and mic, but it’s unclear if it will ever launch.
A new AI method is turning the painstaking design of advanced optical materials into a task that takes seconds. By using large language models, engineers can now bypass months of simulation to create better lenses, VR displays, and holographic tech.
