#42"democratize access to AI and accelerating innovation."
So they make inference cheaper and the models get even worse. Or Jensen Huang has AI psychosis. Or both.
Here is a new business idea for Nvidia: Give me $3000 in a circular deal which I will then spend on a graphics card.

> Tauri over Electron is the same argument applied to desktop apps.
you lost me here but still got my upvote. Tauri and Electron are pretty much the same, compared to local-first vs cloud SaaS.

#44Does this mean their gaming GPUs are becoming less in demand, and therefore cheaper/more available again?
No.

#46> Purpose-Built for Agentic AI From the "fridge purpose-built for storing only yellow tomatoes" and "car only built for people whose last name contains the letter W" series. When can this insanity end? It is a completely normal garden-variety ARM SoC, it'll run Linux, same as every other ARM SoC does. It is as related to "Agentic $whatever" as your toaster is related to it

Re: Nvidia Launches Vera CPU, Purpose-Built for Agentic AI
#48It is a 88-core ARM v9 chip, for somewhat more detailed spec.
Vera does what NVIDIA calls Spatial Multithreading, "physically partitioning each core’s resources rather than time slicing them, allowing the system to optimize for performance or density at runtime." A kind of static hyperthreading; you get two threads per core.
It's somewhat different from how x86 chips do simultaneous multithreading (SMT),

#49This is yet not the grok acquisition, so there is another update coming with that claiming more improvements?
Re: Nvidia Launches Vera CPU, Purpose-Built for Agentic AI
#50Earlier quoted context omitted.
Grace GB10, Vera's predecessor, had a single core performance comparable to M3 so I guess we can expect at least M4 level performance now.
Isn't the GB10 a Mediatek chip and not directly related to the Grace datacenter CPU?
More fair to say it's completely unrelated to the Grace data center CPU.
