The company has raised 468 million USD from investors and received a pledge of up to 245 million USD from the US Department of Commerce.
AWS and Qualcomm are collaborating on the development of custom AI inference chips and optical interconnects with a capacity of 1.6 Tb/s. Qualcomm uses AWS Bedrock for chip design; this is its third major data center contract since June, with a goal of 15 billion USD in revenue by 2029.
Forrester Research named AWS a Leader in the report Forrester Wave: AI Infrastructure Solutions Q4 2025 (13 providers evaluated), with the highest score in the strategy category and a maximum of 5.00 in 16 criteria.
NVIDIA and MediaTek announced an expansion of their long-standing collaboration on the next generation of AI computing platforms in the areas of AI infrastructure, local AI computing and automotive.
According to observers following the earnings release, Nvidia is expanding its advantage beyond GPUs into data orchestration in data centers. According to the company, the Vera Rubin architecture with Vera CPUs speeds up data flow between memory and GPUs by roughly 3×, which is becoming more important as gigawatt-scale data centers are built.
Meta has closed a loophole in its AI glasses that allowed the recording LED indicator to be covered after recording had started. The update now turns off the camera if the light is covered during an active recording.
Meta uses closed-loop liquid cooling for GPU servers in new AI data centers, recirculating a mixture of water and glycol in a closed loop. According to the company, it is more efficient than air cooling in terms of both space and water, and the coolant lasts up to ten years.
Plaud has launched AI earbuds, Plaud One Explorer Edition, with a built-in 4G modem in the charging case for recording and transcription without a phone. Price: 249.99 dollars, preorders from August 2026, deliveries from September 2026.
Plaud has opened preorders for Plaud One earbuds, whose AI agents connected to Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and Slack automate tasks after meetings. The case with eSIM enables control of the agents without a phone. Price: 249 dollars, delivery in the 4th quarter of 2026, as part of a limited trial run.
According to its statement, NVIDIA is expanding NVLink Fusion technology to include its own high-speed NVHBM memory intended for building AI infrastructure for hyperscalers. Details can be found in the source article.
A Prague entrepreneur wants to build up to eight data centers for artificial intelligence in Europe with a total capacity of 800 megawatts. Investment is expected to reach 3.6 billion euros, or roughly 90 billion Kč.
Waymo has deployed its own 5nm ASIC chip (over 1000 TOPS, manufactured by TSMC) in the Ojai robotaxi, which operates in Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The goal is to reduce costs and dependence on chips from Nvidia and AMD; the vehicles have driven over 200 million miles.
New: Specific vehicle model: Ojai; Specific deployment locations: Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco; Waymo has completed 200 million miles of autonomous driving; The chip is described as an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit); The chip directly processes sensor data (radar, lidar, camera) for real-time ML decision-making
NVIDIA claims that scaling AI computing is constrained not just by overall performance, but by the way electricity gets from the grid to the GPUs — according to the company, traditional alternating current (AC) distribution is becoming a bottleneck.

Step 1 of 4 · How AI Radar works
One clear overview from dozens of sources
AI Radar monitors Czech and international sources every day, looking for changes that truly deserve attention.
MonitorsOfficial AI company blogs, specialist media, and research sources.
Selects and combinesFilters out information noise and combines articles about the same change into a single event.
Summarizes and explainsExplains significant events in English: what happened, why it matters and where the information comes from.
The result is a quick overview of what has actually changed in the AI world, rather than another stream of articles.
Use the CS/EN switch to read the same Radar in Czech or English. English content is published after its translation has been checked, so new and older items may appear later.
Everything you need to navigate the AI world
Today’s briefingAn overview of news from the past 24 hours and a main story when available. Beside them is Live · AI Flash, followed by research and links to other Radar sections. On mobile, the blocks appear one below another.
AI FlashAn ongoing feed of brief updates with an evidence status. Links lead to a Radar detail page when one is ready, otherwise to the original source. You can also find reset and outage histories here.
Practical applicationsWhat new tools and features can do, what you can try and what their actual impact could be.
Model selectionModel comparison by type of work, capabilities, price and speed.
Research and archiveA separate research overview, topic search and older events by date.
One event, everything that matters
Each row represents one event — not one article. At a glance, you can see its significance, credibility and main point.
Illustrative example, not a current news item.
Importance: ▮▮▮ majorOpenAIModels✓ 6
Agent mode is available to all paying users
Until now, the mode was available only on the highest plan; it is now available on all paid tiers without a waitlist.
▮▮▮ major · ▮▮ important · ▮ we're tracking = how significant the change is✓ 6 = six independent publishers, not the number of articles or feeds✓ official = a clear release, law or incident is substantiated by the relevant authority1 source = no independent confirmation yetbold = who is behind the changegray text = a brief summary of what happened
The detail page contains a fuller summary, its significance and original sources. Practical impact appears in the detail and the For individuals and For businesses views. An AI Flash item reaches the main selection only after it has been expanded and meets the publication rules.
The same news, two practical uses
We first summarize each event in the same way for everyone. Based on those same facts, we then explain what the change means for your own use and what it could mean for how a company operates.
For individualsWhat you can use or try, how the change can help you at work and what to watch out for.
For businessesWhat impact the change could have on processes, costs, risks and other business decisions.
Today’s briefing is the same for everyone. Pages
