NVIDIA Launches a New“Brain”-Smarter Robots Are Coming!

As technology evolves rapidly, artificial intelligence and robotics continue to merge, producing amazing breakthroughs. Recently at SIGGRAPH, NVIDIA unveiled its impressive new Cosmos world model - a development that could transform the robotics industry.

NVIDIA’s Cosmos World Model

Cosmos is a model designed to generate synthetic data that obeys real-world physical laws. It helps robots better understand and adapt to the physical environment. Since its launch, Cosmos has been adopted by leading robotics and autonomous driving companies, including Figure, Agility Robotics, and General Motors.

What’s New in the Upgrade?

Software Enhancements

  • Cosmos Reason: A 7-billion-parameter vision-language model with reasoning capabilities that assist robots in task planning. It understands physics and applies commonsense for multi-step reasoning.

  • Cosmos Transfer-2 & Lite Version: Speeds up converting virtual scenes into training data with a streamlined distillation process, enabling faster performance on RTX PRO servers.

Hardware Upgrades

  • RTX PRO Blackwell Server: Supports workloads like training, synthetic data generation, robot learning, and simulation.

  • DGX Cloud Platform: Runs Omniverse and Cosmos applications efficiently in the cloud, lowering hardware costs and maintenance overhead.

NVIDIA’s Robotics Strategy

NVIDIA aims to build a complete, realistic, and scalable “virtual parallel universe” where robots can safely experiment and continuously evolve. By combining real-time rendering, computer vision, physics simulation, 2D/3D generative AI, and AI reasoning, NVIDIA is driving rapid advancement in robotics technology.

Focus on the Chinese Market

NVIDIA is actively collaborating with Chinese companies. The first batch of Jetson Thor chips has been delivered to domestic player Galaxy General. NVIDIA also partners with Alibaba Cloud and the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center to promote robotics applications in China.

Personal Take

NVIDIA’s moves clearly show a full commitment to robotics. By integrating computer graphics with AI, they’re not only giving robots a more powerful “brain” but also lowering the barriers to development and deployment. This will accelerate the adoption of robotics technology, bringing more convenience to our lives.

Why Is an AI Meeting Notes App Worth $250 Million? How Granola Stands Out in a Crowded Market

图片
  In June 2025, AI meeting notes app Granola completed a $43 million Series B funding round, boosting its valuation to $250 million. Developed by a Silicon Valley startup, Granola has quickly gained attention from investors and users worldwide with its unique user collaboration model and highly personalized feature set—emerging as a standout player in the competitive AI note-taking market. 1. Granola’s Core Edge: Seamless Collaboration Between AI and Humans Granola is not just another meeting transcription tool. Instead, it enhances users' note-taking capabilities through AI assistance. Users only need to jot down key points, and Granola automatically fills in the details, generating structured, comprehensive meeting records. This “AI-assisted human” approach improves efficiency and allows users to focus on the core content of the meeting. What makes Granola especially powerful is its customization based on meeting type—whether it's a sales call, job interview, or investor pitc...

OpenAI's Delay, Manus's Retreat from China, Baichuan's Brain Drain: Three Undercurrents in July

图片
  This week, the AI industry didn't see any "world-changing" headlines, but three significant events quietly unfolded: OpenAI once again postponed the release of its first open-source weight model. Manus moved its headquarters from Beijing to Singapore, reducing its China team to just over 40 people. Xie Jian, co-founder and CTO of Baichuan Intelligence, confirmed his departure, leaving only two members of the founding team. These three events point to a common undercurrent:  resource reallocation, compliance costs, and technical roadmap uncertainties.  Below, we break down the key facts for peers, investors, or anyone concerned with the foundational infrastructure. 1. OpenAI Open-Source Model Further Delayed On July 12, Sam Altman confirmed on X that the release was further postponed for "additional safety testing," without providing a new timeline. Red teaming test cases have doubled to 28,000, with 41% related to disinformation spread. The delay reflects a re...
