NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 Delivers Leading Performance in MLPerf Inference v6.1 Debut

NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 debuts in MLPerf Inference v6.1 with up to 3.7x higher throughput than GB300 NVL72 and 99% scaling efficiency at 288 GPUs.

In its first MLPerf Inference preview submission, NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 achieved up to 3.7x higher throughput than GB300 NVL72 on Qwen3-VL and 2.5x on DeepSeek-R1. A 288-GPU GB300 NVL72 submission across four racks reached 99% scaling efficiency on the DeepSeek-R1 offline benchmark. Software optimizations delivered up to 1.6x gains over v6.0, leveraging TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, Dynamo, disaggregated serving, and NVFP4 precision.

AI is adding to the review load on open-source projects, many of them thinly funded

ACM Technology Policy Council authors warn AI-generated code is overwhelming thinly funded open-source maintainers, raising software supply chain security risks.

Six authors including Simson Garfinkel and Josiah Dykstra, writing for the ACM Technology Policy Council, argue AI coding tools flood open-source projects with contributions that human maintainers must still review. They cite Google's CodeMender agent contributing 72 security fixes to open-source projects, some as large as 4.5 million lines of code, between April and October 2025. Funding is lopsided: the Linux Foundation raised $292,217,236 in 2024 versus $2,379,402 for the Apache Software Foundation. They also note most open-source applications still ship no SBOM despite US and EU mandates, and attackers increasingly plant malicious packages in popular repositories.

Google will now let any AI agent run your smart home

Google's Home MCP integration lets third-party AI agents like Claude control smart home devices and analyze home data.

Google launched Home MCP, a Model Context Protocol integration allowing third-party AI agents such as Claude, Google Antigravity, Hermes, and Open Claw to control devices and analyze event history across Google Home ecosystems. Capabilities include cross-camera analysis, device-state reasoning, voice messaging via Nest speakers, and custom dashboards, with rate limits and blocks on actions like unlocking doors. Availability starts with Google Home Premium Advanced users in the US ($20/month or $200/year) and requires setting up a Google Cloud project.

SK Hynix reportedly in talks with Intel to build memory chips in US

SK Hynix is reportedly negotiating with Intel to manufacture memory chips in the US, possibly leasing space at Intel's Ohio fab.

Reuters reports SK Hynix and Intel have discussed SK Hynix producing RAM in the US for the first time, including leasing space at Intel's planned Ohio factory or forming a joint venture that could include cloud-service providers; SK Hynix says nothing is finalized. The company is already building a $3.8 billion AI chip packaging and research facility in West Lafayette, Indiana, with mass production expected to begin in 2029, amid surging HBM demand from AI data centers. The potential deal could face a South Korean government review over transfers of strategically important chip technology, and follows Intel's 2020 sale of its NAND flash business to SK Hynix for $9 billion.
