    NukeTorch: Four MacBook Pro M5 Max Macs Serve NVIDIA GR00T 2.45x Faster Than Fastest Published H100 Result

    Fenon AI's NukeTorch engine ran NVIDIA's GR00T N1.7 robot policy on four MacBook Pro M5 Max machines at 152.07 action chunks per second with 192 clients, 2.45x the fastest published H100 figure and 4.24x NVIDIA's own published number. For a single request the H100 still wins at 16.08 ms versus 44.34 ms, and the four Macs list at $19,996 against at least $25,000 for one H100 card. The one-Mac version is a free download, while the multi-machine build requires an evaluation license.

    How AI Is Helping Care Teams Get Patients the Right Care, Sooner

    Dyania Health's Synapsis AI clinical reasoning engine reads every note, report and lab result in a patient's record, connecting findings years apart to flag which patients need attention and why, with each signal traceable to its source. It runs on NVIDIA-accelerated computing inside a health system's own firewall, so patient data never leaves the hospital. Cleveland Clinic used it to review records of more than 7,800 aortic valve replacement patients from 2005 to 2021 and build a predictive model of valve deterioration and reintervention risk at three, five and ten years.

    Anthropic says its AI model moved Claude onto AMD chips in three days

    Anthropic told investors that its Mythos model got Claude running on AMD MI355X GPUs in about three days, with Mythos writing or porting nearly all the necessary kernels and, in co-founder Tom Brown's words, basically no human intervention. The timeline covers bringing up prompt processing for one Anthropic model at a useful performance level, not a full migration of Claude's training and operations. Anthropic says its compute architecture spans Nvidia GPUs, AMD GPUs, AWS Trainium and Google TPUs, treated as a shared capacity pool.

    Nebius plans $40 billion in 2027 spending as Microsoft data center delays mount

    Nebius laid out $40 billion in planned 2027 spending on its third-quarter earnings call, funded largely by customer prepayments and loans backed by customer contracts. Its Vineland, New Jersey site for Microsoft, under a contract worth up to $19.4 billion, is months behind schedule, with only just over half of the Microsoft capacity now planned for delivery by year-end and the rest in Q2 2027. Nebius cut its 2026 revenue forecast by $200 million to $3 billion and reported third-quarter revenue of $981 million, up 571% year over year, while shares fell 17%.

    Nvidia and the World Without Jensen: What a Post-Founder Nvidia Looks Like

    SemiAnalysis argues that Nvidia was built around Jensen Huang, who has left the CEO role after 33 years, and that his departure weakens the company's long-term bets, chip allocation deals and personal supply chain lockups. The piece says Nvidia had about 60 direct reports under Huang and lacks a deep bench of successors, with Colette Kress as interim CEO and Ian Buck and Jonah Alben floated as internal technical candidates. It also ties the timing to Washington: more than 1.5GW of restricted Nvidia chips are estimated to have reached China, and the Remote Access Security Act, which passed the House 369-22, is up for a Senate vote.

    Why it matters: SemiAnalysis examines how Nvidia's founder-centric structure, supply chain deals and China policy could change after Jensen Huang's exit, and why export control legislation is moving now.

    What Huawei's Horinger data center reveals about China's compute gap

    Epoch AI estimates Huawei's Horinger data center in Inner Mongolia holds about 105,000 operational Ascend 910C and 8,000 Ascend 910B chips, equal to roughly 81,000 H100-equivalents (90% CI: 36,000 to 141,000). The estimate comes from commercial satellite imagery and a cooling-equipment model that puts the four AI-focused buildings at up to 286 MW of IT power capacity. That leaves Horinger at about 7% of the AI compute in SpaceX's Colossus 2 in Tennessee, and a planned building could raise its capacity by over 70% by early 2028, still far behind Colossus 2's projected 1.8 million H100e.

    Anthropic says AI cut its Claude port to AMD GPUs from months to three days

    Anthropic says it ported Claude to AMD GPUs in three days with almost no human intervention, using its frontier model Mythos to write nearly 100 percent of the kernels itself. Co-founder Tom Brown says Anthropic now trains and runs Claude across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, Nvidia GPUs and AMD GPUs, treating them as one interchangeable compute pool. The figures come from an investor presentation and have not been independently verified; Anthropic cites three days versus the six to twelve months traditional engineering needs, measured on prompt processing with AMD MI355X GPUs.

    Why it matters: Anthropic's claim that its own model ported Claude to AMD GPUs in three days offers a concrete test of whether AI can loosen CUDA's grip on chip choice.

    Fractile raises $720M Series C to build AI chips with stacked DRAM

    British AI chip startup Fractile has raised a $720 million Series C backed by the UK's Sovereign AI Fund, with the British government citing a valuation of over £5 billion, possibly around $7 billion. The round was led by Thrive Capital, Founders Fund, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Redpoint. Fractile pairs its chips with a machine learning compiler and, after a pivot, stacks DRAM on top of each chip to try to bypass the usual memory-versus-capacity trade-off, which the company sees as increasingly costly for agentic AI. CEO Walter Goodwin said the funding will let the startup ship its first chips and systems next year.

The company reported $3.66 billion in revenue, up 168% year over year, alongside a $709 million net loss and $846 million in quarterly interest expense, and it expects about $9 billion in customer prepayments and deposits over the next three months against a $132.5 billion backlog. CEO Michael Intrator said CoreWeave will not use the unsecured debt market at current yields, while short-term capacity is selling at more than $40 million per megawatt annually versus $20 million to $25 million for four- and five-year contracts.

    The Jev Revolution: How Engineers at Glean, UiPath and Workday Are Building With System One Models

    At the AI Engineer Code Summit, TypeSafe AI CEO Diogo Almeida argued that system one models such as Jev, which return structured choices, scores or probabilities rather than generated text, should be called directly from application code to automate tasks more reliably. Glean's Chinmay Goyal said Jev suits zero-shot flexibility because changing decision taxonomies do not require repeated fine-tuning, while UiPath showed Jev ranking document chunks through a tournament of calls that finished in under a second. Workday's Scott Roberts demoed an interface that fills in a time-off card as the user types, which he described as moving from predicting what you want to say to predicting what you want to do.

    Anthropic IPO roadshow video details multi-chip Claude training and serving strategy

    Anthropic kicked off its IPO roadshow yesterday, and its roadshow video disclosed previously unreleased details about how the business works, including a section on compute strategy with co-founder Tom Brown. Brown said Anthropic trains and serves Claude across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, NVIDIA GPUs and AMD GPUs, and that when the company began working with AMD GPUs this year, a system called Mythos got Claude running on AMD in three days with basically no human intervention, porting or writing almost 100% of the kernels. He also described compute multipliers as a second driver of compute advantage, saying each multiplier stacks on the ones before it and that Claude may eventually discover them entirely by itself.

    Why it matters: Anthropic's IPO roadshow video details its multi-chip training and serving strategy across four chip families, including a Claude-assisted AMD port completed in three days.

    SemiAnalysis: Datacenter Backlash Turns Bipartisan as Midterms Put 2028 Buildout at Risk

    SemiAnalysis argues the 2027 US datacenter boom is largely locked in, with about three-quarters of the 33.8 GW due across its top 20 states already under construction, while the real election risk sits in 2028, when its model projects 62.2 GW of US net additions, most not yet started. It tracks 13 states holding 43.5 GW, or 70% of expected national capacity, and finds nine of 20 midterm nominees want a pause on new construction while 11 want conditions, split roughly evenly by party. The biggest near-term risk is a prolonged permitting freeze at Texas' TCEQ, since Texas alone adds close to 30% of US GW in 2028.
