NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 control options are now live on GeForce NOW, letting members adjust quality and performance settings for supported games without needing the latest hardware. Ultimate members on GeForce RTX 5080 cloud rigs can use Dynamic Multi Frame Generation at up to 4X.
The AWS team implemented kernel optimizations for Fused MoE models on Amazon SageMaker AI; the Swap-AB trick flips matrix multiplication before entering PTX assembly to fit the M=64 dimension requirement of NVIDIA Hopper's WGMMA instructions, delivering a 2–4% end-to-end throughput gain on H200, and has been upstreamed into vLLM 0.24.0 and later.
At the OCP Global Summit, Intel detailed its GPU D-series (codenamed Crescent Island), built on the Xe3P architecture with up to 480 GB LPDDR5X memory, 1.5 TB/s memory bandwidth and 1.3 petaflops of FP8 compute at 350 watts; a single card supports 300-billion-parameter models and an 8-card system supports over 1 trillion parameters.
At the OCP Global Summit, NVIDIA announced it is contributing Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to the OCP through its MGX open architecture. The MGX 1.2 spec adds rack-level blind-mate liquid cooling, a 5000A liquid-cooled busbar, and support for rack deployments of up to 250kW.
Why it matters: The piece collects multiple open specifications such as MGX 1.2 and Open Data Center Specification v0.7, along with accompanying software, giving readers a view into the open foundations of AI factories.
Ai2's AI Infrastructure team replaced its GPU cluster scheduler's priority system with one based on GPU time budgets, hierarchical fair-share and time-slicing contracts, to keep the cluster full while prioritizing high-impact research.
AWS has released a multi-tenant reference architecture based on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod and EKS, letting multiple teams share a single GPU cluster while maintaining isolation and fair resource allocation.
AMD has released video resources related to AMD Helios AI infrastructure, along with brand assets including AMD trademarks and logos for download. Before downloading, users must accept terms and conditions: these AMD Marks may only be used in promotional materials featuring products with AMD CPUs, GPUs, APUs or FPGAs, and AMD may terminate the license at any time.
At the AI Infra Summit, AMD argued that the core of AI infrastructure design should not be chips or networking but a system's ability to adapt to changing demands. The piece notes that agentic AI turns a single request into a multi-step chain of retrieval, tool calls, code execution and sub-agent coordination, and should be measured by cost per completed task rather than cost per token, offering three auditable principles: adaptable, economical, and open.
AMD, Cisco and HUMAIN announced that AI infrastructure built on AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs, EPYC CPUs and Cisco Silicon One AI networking has officially gone live in Saudi Arabia, providing production-grade compute to HUMAIN customers, with plans to expand to 250 MW.
AMD announced that its Instinct GPUs and EPYC CPUs will provide the compute for Europe's next-generation LUMI-AI supercomputer. (The original article contains only AMD trademark download terms and provides no further technical details of the partnership.)
AMD announced on August 6 that it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Taalas, a Toronto-based specialized AI inference chip company. Founded in 2023, Taalas develops technology that reduces the compute and memory bottlenecks of general-purpose architectures by optimizing inference data flow; AMD plans to integrate the technology into its accelerator roadmap and develop system-level solutions alongside AMD Instinct GPUs. The deal remains subject to regulatory approval.
AMD, Supermicro and Spectro Cloud jointly launched AMD Instinct Coder, a turnkey enterprise AI coding solution using a local-first hybrid inference approach to help enterprises keep control of source code, model usage, and costs.
AMD reported Q2 2026 results with revenue of $11.5 billion, up 50% year over year, GAAP net income of $2.3 billion, and data center revenue of $6.7 billion, up 107% and accounting for 58% of total revenue.
Why it matters: The earnings report gives specific figures on doubled data center revenue, AI-related product deployments and next-quarter guidance, helping readers gauge the pace of AMD's AI business growth.
At Advancing AI 2026 on July 23, AMD unveiled a full-stack AI and physical AI product portfolio, including its first rackscale solution, AMD Helios (72 Instinct MI455X GPUs plus 18 6th Gen EPYC "Venice" CPUs).
Why it matters: The official announcement consolidates Helios rack, MI400 series CPU/GPU spec figures, and major customer deployment plans, allowing readers to benchmark actual progress against competing solutions.
Chrome 149-150 brings Immediates (also known as push constants) to WebGPU, allowing frequently changing small data to be injected directly into pass encoders via setImmediates(), along with stricter transient attachment validation.
Intel announced a series of AI innovations at Computex 2026, spanning from chips to system-level solutions. Intel is working with SambaNova and Foxconn to build rack-scale AI inference infrastructure based on Xeon processors and the SambaNova SN-50 RDU.
