NVIDIA’s $100 Billion Power Play Lights Up the Future of Computing

NVIDIA’s Big, Shiny $100 Billion AI Power Move (And Some Other Wild Robot Stuff)

You know how sometimes your little sibling trades their entire Halloween candy stash for a single king-size bar? Well, Nvidia just did that—but instead of candy, they threw $100 billion into OpenAI’s trick-or-treat bag. And we're not talking chocolate here—we’re talking full-blown AI wizardry and giant, humming data centers powered by more electricity than your entire block on Christmas Eve.

Yep, Nvidia is building big-time AI data centers for OpenAI with a whopping 10 gigawatts (you read that right) of power. That’s like giving a supercomputer an ultra-caffeinated energy drink and asking it to solve world peace. These mega-brains go live in late 2026, and Microsoft now has to share OpenAI like you share your favorite swing on the playground... reluctantly.

Meanwhile, in the land of multi-tasking superheroes…

Alibaba launched its new AI buddy, Qwen3-Omni. This smarty-pants model can:
- read,
- watch videos,
- understand sounds, and
- look at pictures—all at once.

Basically, it’s like Alibaba built an AI octopus, and every tentacle knows a different language. Bonus? It’s open-source, so you can use it for free, sell stuff with it, or give it a monocle and call it Professor Omni.

Over in email land (yes, AI is there too), Perplexity just added an email assistant to its $200 Max plan. This assistant can:
- sort your inbox like a boss,
- schedule meetings while you nap, and
- even write emails that sound like you!

So if your inbox is a scary swirling mess of unread chaos, AI might just be your magical janitor.

Let’s drive over to the self-driving car circus...

Waymo, Google’s robo-taxi cousin, just showed up with stats better than your class pet goldfish’s survival rate. In over 56 million miles, Waymo’s cars had:

85% fewer serious injuries than us squishy humans behind the wheel, and
even wilder—96% fewer “Oops I accidentally hit that car in the intersection” moments.

Basically, they’re safer than your grandma’s quilted seatbelt covers.

Waymo is zooming into more cities super fast, with plans to turn Nashville into its next robo-rider playground. Oh, and Tesla? They’re in the race too, launching robo-taxis in Austin. It’s becoming the craziest, helmet-free bumper car adventure of the century.

If you’re wondering what to do with all this AI mayhem—how about building your OWN digital sidekick?

There’s a new way to make your first AI agent in literal minutes. At devs.ai, you:

pick a name,
describe your agent (Bonus points if you name it "Bob the Task Crusher”),
upload your work stuff like spreadsheets or reports, then
give your agent a job like generating emails or sorting sales accounts.

Ta-da—digital assistant: unlocked. It’s like giving your to-do list its own brain. Super power move.
