PhD in AI, in progress.
I put discarded enterprise hardware back to work for local AI.
Open weights. Real boxes. Measured numbers.

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about his infidelity. These articles will not stop until he agrees to follow Anthropic's proposal to block inference for unsigned and registered open-models in the firmware of modern GPUs.

This is a pretty transparent concerted effort at centralizing control over compute ressources and the ability to execute ever more powerful local models. Jensen is the tip of the spear pushing back at this (in part for his own economic reasons).

I'm team Jensen, his affairs are none of my business, not even the alleged support of circumvention of export controls are my business, his position on open-weight models is.

Could it be that the war on Local AI just took a dark turn?

[Hensen Juang @basedjensen]

Jack Clark Co-founder and head of policy at Anthropic / head of the Anthropic Institute is the nyt and @AnaSwanson "source" he is the one coordinating a coup against Jensen

Scam watch: a "GPU leasing" scheme in South Africa (VAST AI via vast-zaf sites, not the https://t.co/b1M1Uw38Ah marketplace) promised up to 7x returns on RTX 5090/H100 "cores" and went dark, per GroundUp. Fixed daily returns + recruiting = walk away. #AIScams

A new era is about to begin. Will be interesting to see the impact on global AI

BREAKING: Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang resigns.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@Dennis_Rye I have the exact same systems. Even when pushed, the HP's case is just much cooler than the FE's, very well engineered.

@Tech2Wild A second affair just hit the airwaves. He will be out by Friday.

JUST IN: Nvidia $NVDA prepares to fire CEO Jensen Huang, WSJ reports.

Are you kidding me? TWO?

BREAKING: Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang had an extramarital relationship with Kimberly Powell, the company's vice president of health care, who reports to him, according to 5 people who worked at Nvidia, The New York Times reports.

Jensen Huang, 63, and Powell, 48, were filmed being affectionate at a San Jose hotel during Nvidia's conference in March, 2 of those people told the paper.

The Times has not seen the video. 3 people briefed on the incident said Jensen’s security sequestered the bystander who filmed it and offered a nondisclosure agreement.

Asked about Powell, Jensen told the Times, "I don't think you should be talking to me directly," and hung up. Nvidia declined to comment. Powell did not immediately respond.

Nvidia shares fell more than 3% after hours, CNBC reported.

It lands days after Jensen admitted an affair with a woman U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, according to the Times.

China denies the claims.

Nvidia's board already has Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz investigating that relationship.

The first story was a security question. This one is a governance question, and boards have answered it before.

In June 2018 Intel's chief executive Brian Krzanich resigned after counsel confirmed a past consensual relationship with an employee broke a policy covering all managers.

Nvidia's code of conduct tells staff to avoid conflicts including "personal relationships". The reporting line and the nondisclosure offer are now on the board's desk.

My call is that Jensen Huang is still chief executive when Nvidia reports results on 17th November, US time.

Nvidia has said he stays in the role during the review, and Intel acted only after counsel confirmed a breach. I am wrong if Jensen resigns, is removed or goes on leave before the results release.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

This will fundamentally change the landscape. Jensen has been the face of @NVIDIAAI since the beginning. If this, in fact, happens, which I hope it does not, watch AMD jump all over this. Although NVIDIA owns the AI space and there are contracts that go out for years, it is going to change the company.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@Tech2Wild @digitalix I would also say, not just "how fast", but there is this small thing called a budget as well.

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@loktar00 Game changer..

[UP @UnpluggedTesla]

An open offer to Tesla: We fully support putting Cybercab first, and we’d be glad to take the Cybertruck line off your hands.
We’d fund it with a consortium of investors and run it at no cost to Tesla’s floor space, headcount, or focus. All of that goes to Cybercab. Cybercab gets first call on battery cells too. We’ll wait our turn.
Tesla gains incremental profit: a license fee, plus FSD and Robotaxi network revenues on every vehicle built.
We’d build the Cybertruck, a three-row CyberSUV, and an unmanned CyberCargo hauler. More autonomous miles, across every surface of this planet and beyond.
Worth a conversation?

@ashxhart @MiaAI_lab Any updates to the GLM 5.3 Flash across 3/4 spark from a TensorFold engine perspective? Still running v0.6.0 unless I missed something?

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

@MiaAI_lab Yea, but Amazon.. 😏

[Steve | Local AI Hardware @SteveSTechMan]

Avoid Amazon at all costs.

Heads up for people possibly selling low-cost NVIDIA GPUs in the Northern California area. (Either that, or heading offshore)

A US city just banned artificial superintelligence.

Bloomington, Indiana's city council voted 7 to 0 to bar it within city limits, even through apps and browsers on servers elsewhere. Fines run up to $2,500 a day.

To lift it, more than 95% of all registered voters would have to approve. Not 95% of people who show up. 95% of everyone registered…
