From Megawatts to Tokens: How NVIDIA Maximizes AI Factory Production
NVIDIA detailed DSX power-management results: Lambda gained 24% token throughput at fixed power, and an AI factory auto-shed 1MW via Emerald AI's grid program.
NVIDIA says Lambda's first validation of DSX MaxLPS on HGX B200 servers ran 19 nodes within a 16-node power budget, lifting cluster token throughput 24% (roughly 4M to 5M tokens/second) and improving performance per watt by 23%. NVIDIA projects DSX MaxLPS can enable up to 40% more GPU capacity for Vera Rubin NVL72 factories within the same megawatt budget. Emerald AI's Conductor platform, running at NVIDIA's Eos factory with Silicon Valley Power, responded to over 200 utility demand signals, automatically dropping power from 4MW to 3MW without interrupting priority workloads. The first dedicated DSX Flex commercial deployment is planned at a 96-megawatt Manassas, Virginia facility.

Closed-Loop Cooling Explained: The Plumbing Behind Meta’s AI
Meta engineer Tom Shaw explains the closed-loop liquid cooling systems that power Meta's AI data centers more efficiently.
Meta published an explainer describing its use of closed-loop liquid cooling to support AI workloads. The post, authored by Tom Shaw, frames the plumbing and thermal design as key to running AI infrastructure efficiently. The content is primarily corporate/infrastructure marketing rather than a security or product announcement.

Opaque recurrence, and other AI terms that you should probably know
TechCrunch updates its plain-English glossary defining common AI terms from AGI and agents to chain-of-thought reasoning.
TechCrunch maintains a regularly updated glossary of AI terminology, defining terms such as AGI, AI agents, API endpoints, chain of thought, coding agents, compute, deep learning, and diffusion. It highlights 'opaque recurrence', the reasoning technique in OpenAI's new Astra model that has drawn attention from AI safety researchers. The piece is an educational living document rather than new research or a product announcement.

Why Scaling AI Compute Performance Requires a New Power Architecture
NVIDIA argues AI factories need 800 VDC power distribution as dense GPU racks outgrow traditional AC-based delivery.
NVIDIA's blog contends each generation of accelerated computing demands higher rack density and more efficient, scalable power distribution. It frames the bottleneck as how power moves from the grid to the GPU rather than raw wattage, and describes limitations of traditional AC power delivery. NVIDIA advocates a new 800 VDC power architecture for AI factories.

Apple might make servers again to cash in on the AI rush
Apple reportedly plans AI servers pairing M8 Ultra chips with Nvidia NVLink Fusion, targeting a 2029 debut.
According to The Information, Apple is considering re-entering the server market it left in 2011 with the Xserve retirement, betting on its ARM-based M processors amid surging AI compute demand. The servers may run two or four M8 Ultra chips and could incorporate Nvidia's NVLink Fusion interconnect, and Apple recently turned to Nvidia chips for its revamped Siri servers. A product would likely debut around 2029, and plans could still change; Mac Mini and Mac Studio popularity with AI developers has already caused shortages.
