Three Tennessee teens are suing Elon Musk's xAI over claims that the company's Grok AI chatbot generated sexualized images and videos of themselves as minors, as reported earlier by The Washington Post. The proposed class action lawsuit, filed on Monday, accuses Musk and other xAI leaders of knowing that Grok would produce AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM) when launching its "spicy mode" last year. The plaintiffs include two minors and an adult who was underage when the events in the lawsuit took place.

WilhelmNoise-aware compilation on near-term quantum processors requires accurate noise models, but standard ones often miss algorithm- and hardware-specific error mechanisms, and full characterization can be costly. In this study a data-efficient framework combines a physically motivated parametrized noise model with Bayesian optimization, to infer algorithm- and hardware-specific error parameters from routine circuit-execution data. Remarkably, models trained only on small-circuit data generalize well to larger validation circuits, yielding 65% better model fidelity. This provides a scalable, low-overhead route to more predictive, application-aware noise models for quantum compilation workflows. [Phys. Rev. Applied 25, 034051] Published Mon Mar 16, 2026

Author(s): Shaojiang Zhu, Xinyuan You, Alexander Romanenko, and Anna GrassellinoThe authors propose here a quantum thermometry scheme based on hybrid circuit QED architecture, in which a long-lived coherent probe mode serves as phase reference and information buffer. Environmental thermal fluctuations induce random phase kicks that rotate the probe through a Kerr interaction; the kicks are subsequently detected via a high-fidelity qubit Ramsey interference signal. This coherence-mediated transduction isolates sensing from readout and enables interferometric thermometry in the ultra-low-occupation regime, providing a scalable route to coherence-enabled temperature sensing.

Jensen Huang walked onto the GTC stage Monday wearing his trademark leather jacket and carrying, as it turned out, the blueprints for a new kind of monopoly. The Nvidia CEO unveiled the Agent Toolkit, an open-source platform for building autonomous AI agents, and then rattled off the names of the companies that will use it: Adobe, Salesforce, SAP, ServiceNow, Siemens, CrowdStrike, Atlassian, Cadence, Synopsys, IQVIA, Palantir, Box, Cohesity, Dassault Systèmes, Red Hat, Cisco and Amdocs. Seventeen enterprise software companies, touching virtually every industry and every Fortune 500 corporation, all agreeing to build their next generation of AI products on a shared foundation that Nvidia designed, Nvidia optimizes and Nvidia maintains. The toolkit provides the models, the runtime, the security framework and the optimization libraries that AI agents need to operate autonomously inside organizations — resolving customer service tickets, designing semiconductors, managing clinical

Nvidia on Monday unveiled a deskside supercomputer powerful enough to run AI models with up to one trillion parameters — roughly the scale of GPT-4 — without touching the cloud. The machine, called the DGX Station, packs 748 gigabytes of coherent memory and 20 petaflops of compute into a box that sits next to a monitor, and it may be the most significant personal computing product since the original Mac Pro convinced creative professionals to abandon workstations. The announcement, made at the company's annual GTC conference in San Jose, lands at a moment when the AI industry is grappling with a fundamental tension: the most powerful models in the world require enormous data center infrastructure, but the developers and enterprises building on those models increasingly want to keep their data, their agents, and their intellectual property local. The DGX Station is Nvidia's answer — a six-figure machine that collapses the distance between AI's frontier and a single

When an AI agent loses context mid-task because traditional storage can't keep pace with inference, it is not a model problem — it is a storage problem. At GTC 2026, Nvidia announced BlueField-4 STX, a modular reference architecture that inserts a dedicated context memory layer between GPUs and traditional storage, claiming 5x the token throughput, 4x the energy efficiency and 2x the data ingestion speed of conventional CPU-based storage. The bottleneck STX targets is key-value cache data. KV cache is the stored record of what a model has already processed — the intermediate calculations an LLM saves so it does not have to recompute attention across the entire context on every inference step. It is what allows an agent to maintain coherent working memory across sessions, tool calls and reasoning steps. As context windows grow and agents take more steps, that cache grows with them. When it has to traverse a traditional storage path to get back to the GPU, inference slows and

Nvidia on Monday took the wraps off Vera Rubin, a sweeping new computing platform built from seven chips now in full production — and backed by an extraordinary lineup of customers that includes Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta and Mistral AI, along with every major cloud provider. The message to the AI industry, and to investors, was unmistakable: Nvidia is not slowing down. The Vera Rubin platform claims up to 10x more inference throughput per watt and one-tenth the cost per token compared with the Blackwell systems that only recently began shipping. CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the company's annual GTC conference, called it "a generational leap" that would kick off "the greatest infrastructure buildout in history." Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will all offer the platform, and more than 80 manufacturing partners are building systems around it.

Just months after announcing DLSS 4.5 at CES, NVIDIA has unveiled its next major upscaling technology, DLSS 5. The company is doubling-down on AI for this next iteration, claiming DLSS 5 “infuses pixels with photoreal lighting and materials” using a real-time neural rendering model when it arrives this fall. So what does this mean in practice? In an image from Resident Evil: Requiem, DLSS 5 makes one of the game’s main characters appear to have a more realistic skin tone and more detailed hair. It’s a subtle difference, but it could add a layer of realism if it works as advertised. “DLSS 5 takes a game’s color and motion vectors for each frame as input, and uses an AI model to infuse the scene with photoreal lighting and materials that are anchored to source 3D content and consistent from frame to frame,” NVIDIA said in a blog post. The company also notes that the technology runs in real time, and it works at up to 4K. During his GTC 2026 keynote today, NVIDIA CEO Jensen
