The US and Japan have signed a rare earths and energy cooperation agreement aimed squarely at China’s chokehold on critical tech supply chains. Announced on October 28 in Tokyo, the agreement commits both governments to securing mineral flows and accelerating the deployment of advanced nuclear power.

The timing of this is obviously no accident. President Trump is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later this week, and today’s announcement served as a pointed signal that the US is actively building

Coming on the heels of the Vera Rubin-based supercomputers for Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nvidia announced on Tuesday that, together with partners, it would build seven ExaFLOPS-class AI supercomputers for Argonne National Laboratory. Two out of five systems will be built by Oracle and will use over 100,000 Blackwell GPUs, delivering a combined performance of up to 2,200 ExaFLOPS.

The first of five AI supercomputers for Argonne National Laboratory is Equinox, which will

OpenAI has been at the forefront of the rapidly expanding artificial intelligence industry for years, with ChatGPT largely responsible for ushering in this new era of technology. Microsoft was an early believer in the company, investing $1 billion back in 2019 in exchange for becoming OpenAI’s exclusive cloud partner and gaining the right to commercialize its models through Azure. Today, that agreement is changing — marking what could be a seismic shift in the AI landscape.

Nvidia used to be a humble supplier of graphics processors, providing reference designs for its partners' graphics cards. As the company grew, it moved from data center-grade GPUs for AI and HPC to reference designs for servers, then to rack-scale solutions. At its GTC 2025 summit, the company announced Omniverse DSX Blueprint: a reference design for gigawatt-class AI data centers, or what Nvidia calls AI factories.

The Omniverse DSX is Nvidia's blueprint for

Corsair has broadened its SSD lineup to compete with the best SSDs on the market. The MP700 Pro XT establishes itself as the new flagship PCIe 5.0 drive, while the MP700 Micro caters to ultra-thin devices and compact systems.

The MP700 Pro XT 1TB is priced at $159.99, while the MP700 Pro XT 2TB and MP700 Pro XT 4TB are priced at

Unsuspecting YouTube viewers looking for Nvidia's GTC keynote on Tuesday might well have found themselves accidentally watching an AI-generated Jensen Huang deepfake promoting a cryptocurrency scam, after YouTube promoted the video over the official stream.

As spotted by eagle-eyed Dylan Martin on X , the stream (now disabled) was actually hosted by a channel called Offxbeatz.

Last week, Elon Musk announced that Tesla would make its next-generation AI5 processor in the U.S. and would double-source this system-on-chip from both TSMC and Samsung Foundry. This is down to Tesla aiming to have plenty of AI5 silicon available, since it will be used in a wide range of applications, including cars, robots, and, somewhat unusually, data centers. Musk also said that Samsung Foundry's fab in Taylor, Texas

Nvidia announced at GTC that it would team up with HPE to build two new supercomputers based on its Vera Rubin platform for Los Alamos National Laboratory. The machine will be used for national security and scientific research using AI simulation and scientific computing, thus following the latest trends in supercomputing. In all, Nvidia said it has won seven supercomputer contracts with the Department of Energy (DoE).

Nvidia's announcement comes on the heels of AMD's announcement yesterday of two new supercomputer wins with

The king of gaming processors, AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D, might not be on sale by itself, but it's definitely a deal when it's paired with a free 360mm All-In-One liquid cooler from MSI. Little combo deals like this are an excellent way to get started on a new build, or even just buy that 9800X3D CPU you've been looking at and then
