NVIDIA
šNvidia Surpasses Apple as the Worldās Most Valuable Company
On Tuesday, Nvidiaās stock market value reached $3.43 trillion, surpassing Apple to make it the worldās most valuable publicly traded company.
Key Details:
Nvidiaās stock price rose 2.84% to a record closing high of $139.91. The chip makerās stock has nearly tripled in value so far this year, underscoring AIās continuing dominance.
Tech Giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Google, and Tesla rely on Nvidiaās Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to power AI projects.
GPUs are specialized computer chips capable of parallel processing (i.e., performing mathematical calculations simultaneously), making them ideal for complex AI applications.
Despite Nvidiaās dominance with GPUs, the chip maker is also creating developer platforms. For example, Nvidia recently announced āNvidia AI Blueprint,ā which allows developers across industries to build AI agents that analyze images and videos.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes the next wave of AI developments is digital employees (i.e., āAI Agentsā) that revolutionize how companies build, deploy, and refine products or services.
Why Itās Important:
Analysts estimate Nvidia will generate $32.9 billion or experience an 81.45% increase in revenue within the next year.
Huang believes in a future where digital employees will become integral to the workforce, transforming how companies operate, innovate, and disrupt.

PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE
āļøPhysical Intelligence Lands $400 Million to Control Robots
Image Source: Physical Intelligence/āĻ0: Our First Generalist Policyā/Screenshot
Physical Intelligence, a startup bringing general-purpose AI models into the physical world, recently secured over $400 million at a $2.4 billion valuation to help robots perform any task they want.
Key Details:
Investors include numerous venture firms and several Tech Giants, including Thrive Capital, Lux Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Khosla Ventures.
Physical Intelligence recently released Ļ0 (i.e., āpi-zeroā), a general-purpose AI model that enables robots to understand natural language commands.
Initial demonstrations showcase robots performing complex multi-stage tasks like folding laundry, packing eggs, and bussing tables.
Why Itās Important:
Today, robots are narrow specialists. For instance, industrial robots are programmed for repetitive motions in choreographed settings, repeatedly āmaking the same weld in the same spot on an assembly line.ā
Physical Intelligence aims to overcome this specialization barrier by allowing robots to generalize their skills to new situations and learn from the experiences of other robots.
AI IN THE ARMY

Meta will allow government agencies and military contractors to access the companyās AI models for national security applications. This decision highlights an exception to Metaās policies prohibiting the use of āAI software for military, warfare, and nuclear industries.ā
This exception comes shortly after reports of Chinese military experts using Metaās Llama 2 for āthe training of airborne electronic warfare interference strategies.ā Itās the first substantial evidence of Chinese military experts ātrying to leverage the power of open-source LLMs.ā
Metaās AI models can process vast amounts of data and generate actionable insights that can help streamline complicated national security logistics like tracking terrorist financing networks or strengthening cybersecurity defenses.
For example, Metaās AI models are being used to analyze aircraft maintenance documents so technicians can accurately diagnose problems and speed up repair times.
āWe believe itās in both America and the wider democratic worldās interest for American open-source AI models to excel and succeed,ā explained Meta in a Newsroom release.
