NVIDIA

📈NVIDIA’s Revenue Is up 78%

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang explained how DeepSeek-R1 helps, not harms, the chipmaker’s business during the company’s Q4 2024 Earnings Call.

Key Details:

• Chinese AI Lab DeepSeek single-handedly plummeted NVIDIA’s stock by 17% after releasing DeepSeek-R1, marking the largest daily decline by any listed company in U.S. Stock Market history.

• DeepSeek-R1 outperformed OpenAI o1 at a fraction of the cost with half the computational resources, including fewer cutting-edge GPUs. NVIDIA relies on AI firms and their need for cutting-edge GPUs to power AI projects.

• Huang explained that regardless of how efficient AI firms become at training Reasoning Engines, as shown with DeepSeek-R1, they still need cutting-edge GPUs for Test-Time Scaling, which allocates more compute during AI Inference: everything that happens after you enter your prompt.

Why It’s Important:

• AI Inference is what allows Reasoning Engines like Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet to apply the logic, rules, and data they “learned” during training.

• NVIDIA achieved $39.3 billion in revenue over the past three months, up 78% from the year before, but the chipmaker’s growth is slowing down.

AMAZON

📦Amazon Introduces “Alexa+”

Amazon introduced “Alexa+,” an AI-powered personal assistant that’s smarter, more conversational, and more capable.

Key Details:

• “Alexa+” leverages AI Agents and Model Mixing to go beyond simple voice commands and take more proactive actions like booking reservations, purchasing tickets, or navigating websites.

• Model Mixing enables “Alexa+” to choose the most suitable LLMs for each specific request.

• Beyond selecting the most suitable LLMs, “Alexa+” remembers your preferences and understands context to anticipate your needs over time.

Why It’s Important:

• “Alexa+” aims to be more natural, flexible, and deeply integrated within context to “follow along when you stumble over your own words.”

• “Alexa+” marks this shift from Reactive virtual assistants to Proactive AI-powered personal assistants that take initiative.

AI RESEARCH

📽️China’s Suite of Video Generation Tools

Alibaba Group’s Tongyi Lab developed “Wan2.1,” a series of open-source video generation tools that outperforms OpenAI’s Sora.

It converts text, images, or videos into hyperrealistic short films by rendering the rules of physics, motion, and perspective. This rendering ability allows “Wan2.1” to excel at generating extensive body movements, dynamic scene transitions, fluid camera motions, and realistic object interactions.

For context, Pixar Animation Studios spent several years developing artistic simulations of curly hair for animated movies. “Wan2.1” generates realistic curly hair in seconds.
