MRC (Multipath Reliable Connection) is a new open networking protocol developed by OpenAI in partnership with AMD, Broadcom, Intel, Microsoft, and NVIDIA that improves GPU networking performance and resilience in large-scale AI training clusters by spreading packets across hundreds of paths simultaneously, recovering from network failures in microseconds, and enabling supercomputers with over 100,000 GPUs to be built using only two tiers of Ethernet switches.

The US administration has added four more AI companies to its roster of favoured suppliers, with the Pentagon signing agreements with Microsoft, Reflection AI (which has yet to release a publicly-available model), Amazon, and Nvidia that mean their products can be used on classified operations. The companies join OpenAI, xAI, and Google as companies that […]

The race to build the world’s most powerful AI factories demands networking that keeps pace with the ambitions of AI itself. NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet scale-out infrastructure stands at the forefront of that race as the most advanced AI networking technology available today, deployed by industry leaders who can’t afford to compromise on performance, resilience or […]
Voice AI company ElevenLabs has disclosed the full investor lineup for its $500 million Series D, originally announced in February at an $11 billion valuation. New backers span institutional giants BlackRock, Wellington, and D.E.

SAP plans to buy German AI startup Prior Labs and invest heavily in it. It is also prohibiting customers' agents use to a select few like Nvidia's NemoClaw.
Enterprise AI has learned to generate. It has learned to reason. Now companies are asking the next question: How should AI act? Early agent systems have shown what’s possible, moving beyond simple prompts to take on more complex tasks. The next step is bringing those capabilities into enterprise environments — where agents must operate with […]
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back against fears of AI-driven unemployment at a Milken Institute event on Monday, arguing that AI represents America’s greatest opportunity for reindustrialization rather than a threat to workers. Speaking with MSNBC’s Becky Quick, Huang contended that automating specific tasks within a role does not eliminate the broader purpose an employee […]
The U.S. Department of Defense has signed agreements with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, and Reflection AI, granting access to their AI technologies on classified networks for lawful operational use. The deals follow earlier agreements with Google, OpenAI, and SpaceX, and reflect the Pentagon’s push to build a broad, vendor-diverse AI architecture for military operations. […]
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Aidoc, a global leader in clinical AI, has raised $150 million in Series E funding led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The round had participation from General Catalyst, SoftBank Investment Advisors and NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm). The round brings total funding to over $500 million, less than a year […]
The Pentagon says it has reached agreements with eight AI companies to use their technology in classified defence settings. The military will have access to resources provided by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Oracle, OpenAI, SpaceX, and the startup Reflection. Absent from the list is Anthropic, following its public dispute and legal battle with the Trump administration over AI ethics. Peter O’Brien looks at how these developments came about.
The deals come as the DoD has doubled down on diversifying its exposure to AI vendors in the wake of its controversial dispute with Anthropic over usage terms of its AI models.
The Pentagon has struck deals with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Elon Musk's xAI, and the startup Reflection, allowing the agency to use their AI tools in classified settings, according to an announcement on Friday. At the same time, the Defense Department has left out Anthropic - which it previously used for classified information - after declaring it a supply-chain risk.
This builds upon deals with OpenAI and xAI, which have already reached agreements with the Pentagon for the "lawful" use of their AI systems. A report from The Information suggests Google has struck a similar agreement. As noted by The Wall Street Journal, Mi …
