Quick Summary#

US tech giant Nvidia has officially unveiled its next-generation AI superchip architecture, marking a significant milestone in the company's global hardware development strategy. The new platform, known as the Rubin computing platform, consists of six new chips designed to power advanced artificial intelligence applications.

According to the company, a substantial portion of this innovation originated from its research and development centers in Israel. Specifically, four out of the six new chips that make up the new architecture were developed by engineers working in the Jewish state. This announcement highlights the critical role that international engineering talent plays in the competitive semiconductor industry and underscores Israel's position as a key hub for high-tech research and development within the global technology ecosystem.

The New Rubin Architecture#

US tech giant Nvidia has announced the launch of its next-generation AI superchip architecture, a development that represents a major leap forward in computing power. The new architecture is built around the Rubin computing platform, which serves as the foundation for the company's latest hardware advancements.

The platform is comprised of a total of six new chips. These components are designed to work in unison to deliver the performance required for the most demanding artificial intelligence workloads, including training large language models and running complex inference tasks. The introduction of this new platform signals Nvidia's continued dominance in the AI hardware space and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible with semiconductor technology.

Israeli Engineering Contributions 🇮🇱#

The development of the new architecture highlights the global nature of modern technology manufacturing and design. Nvidia revealed that its engineering teams in Israel played a pivotal role in bringing the Rubin computing platform to life.

Specifically, the company stated that four out of the six new chips that constitute the new platform were developed by engineers at its Research and Development (R&D) centers located in the Jewish state. This significant contribution underscores the technical capabilities present within Israel's tech sector and its integration into the supply chains of major global technology firms.

Global R&D Impact#

The announcement serves as a testament to the importance of distributed innovation in the technology industry. By leveraging talent from different regions around the world, companies like Nvidia can accelerate development cycles and tap into diverse pools of expertise.

The specific involvement of the Israeli R&D centers in creating the majority of the chips for this new platform illustrates how regional specialization contributes to global product launches. As the demand for AI capabilities continues to grow, the collaboration between the US tech giant and its international engineering teams will likely remain a cornerstone of its strategy to maintain a competitive edge in the market.

Conclusion#

The unveiling of the Rubin computing platform represents a significant development in the AI hardware landscape. With six new chips driving the architecture, Nvidia is positioning itself to meet the escalating computational demands of the AI era.

The revelation that four of these chips were developed in Israel highlights the vital role of the company's international R&D centers. As the technology sector continues to evolve, the contributions of these global teams will be essential in shaping the future of computing infrastructure.

Ben Horowitz says that investing teams shouldn't be 'too much bigger than basketball teams'

Ben Horowitz said investment teams should be the size of a playing five in basketball. Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for WIRED Ben Horowitz said his rule of thumb is about five people on an investing team. He said Andreessen Horowitz maintains lean teams and strong communication across verticals. AI tools are enabling startups and VCs to thrive with fewer employees. Ben Horowitz is a big fan of tiny teams. On an episode of the A16z podcast, the Andreessen Horowitz cofounder shared how his venture capital firm maintains a lean operation despite being one of the world's largest. "An investing team shouldn't be too much bigger than a basketball team," he said, referring to advice he got from famed American investor David Swensen in 2009. He added, "A basketball team is five people who start, and the reason for that is the conversation around the investments really needs to be a conversation." Horowitz cofounded the Silicon Valley VC firm with Marc Andreessen in 2009. Before A16Z, he ran enterprise software company Opsware, which Hewlett-Packard acquired. A16z has backed marquee companies including Meta, Airbnb, GitHub, and Coinbase. The VC said he always kept the basketball team size in mind but also knew that the firm had to expand to keep up with how "software was eating the world," his signature phrase. The solution was to split the firm into different investment verticals. To maintain good communication, staff attend other teams' meetings when investment themes overlap. The firm also organizes a two to three-day offsite twice a year, "with not much agenda." Horowitz said that people who join them from other firms say that A16Z has "less politics" than firms with 10 or 11 people because his firm has a culture where politicking is "disincentivized." A16z might have been early to the tiny team trend, but it's catching on fast with VCs and startups across the world. Startups are actively seeking to stay small, with many having fewer than 10 people. Founders told Business Insider that AI and vibe coding tools have boosted their productivity, allowing them to get things done with far fewer people. Less politics and bureaucracy are also big pluses, they say. "We're going to see 10-person companies with billion-dollar valuations pretty soon," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in February 2024. "In my little group chat with my tech CEO friends, there's this betting pool for the first year there is a one-person billion-dollar company, which would've been unimaginable without AI. And now will happen." Read the original article on Business Insider

Jennifer Lawrence says a 15-minute compromise helps her and her husband make their differences work

Jennifer Lawrence Christopher Polk/2026GG/Penske Media via Getty Images Jennifer Lawrence, 35, says she married someone who is the "opposite" of her. While he is good at sticking to a schedule, it's something she finds challenging, she said. "But we've learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room," Lawrence said. Jennifer Lawrence, 35, says one small compromise helps balance her free-spirited personality with her husband's love of structure. "I married somebody who is the opposite of me. He is so organized," Lawrence said during an appearance on Tuesday's episode of the "Smartless" podcast. "He's an anchor. Everything is ordered, like on the sink. Like I have to, you know, like keep the closet doors closed, and I have like my little jobs that I work really hard to do," she said. When asked which of her habits frustrates her husband the most, Lawrence said it was her struggle with timing. "The schedule. So, our kids. I mean, I get it now. I get it. But like they're on a very strict schedule, you know? It's like breakfast, 7:30," the "Hunger Games" actor said. While her husband is good at sticking to a schedule, especially when it comes to their kids, it's something she finds challenging, Lawrence said. "He's good at keeping it. But we've learned, to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room," she said. Lawrence has two sons with her husband, Cooke Maroney, whom she married in 2019. This is not the first time that she has talked about her family life. Speaking with Cameron Diaz for Interview magazine in 2021, Lawrence said becoming a mother has made her more selective when it comes to choosing her projects. "There's no squeezing when you have a baby. There's just home, and it's the best. It definitely helps weed out projects: 'Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Is this worth being away from my child for half the day?'" she said. Lawrence also credited her husband with making things easier for her as a working mother. "Yeah, and fortunately, my husband is the greatest father in the entire world, so when I'm working, I don't have any more guilt than the usual every day, all-day parent guilt," she said. Lawrence also told Vanity Fair in 2021 that one of her favorite activities is going to the grocery store with her husband. "I don't know why but it fills me with a lot of joy. I think maybe because it's almost a metaphor for marriage. 'Okay, we've got this list. These are the things we need. Let's work together and get this done.'" Lawrence said.
