Robots around the world are about to get a lot smarter as physical AI developers plug in NVIDIA Jetson Thor modules — new robotics computers that can serve as the brains for robotic systems across research and industry. Robots demand rich sensor data and low-latency AI processing. Running real-time robotic applications requires significant AI compute and memory to handle concurrent data streams from multiple sensors. Jetson Thor, now in general availability, delivers 7.5x more AI compute, 3.1x more CPU performance and 2x more memory than its predecessor, the NVIDIA Jetson Orin, to make this possible on device. This performance leap…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nobody cheered Ryan Blaney louder to win NASCAR’s regular-season finale than Alex Bowman, who vowed to buy Blaney 7 million beers for the Daytona victory that saved Bowman’s spot in the playoffs.Bowman had wrecked out at Daytona very early Saturday night and had to watch on television as Blaney won a four-wide race across the finish line to stop a gaggle of long shot drivers from snagging Bowman’s spot in the 16-driver field.His relief was a contrast to the frustration shown by Tyler Reddick, last year’s regular-season champion, who limped into the playoffs this year. Like Bowman,…

By Vishal Kumar SinghNew Delhi: Everyday, thousands of Indians mostly children are bitten by dogs. For most, it’s an everyday street hazard. But behind each bite lurks the threat of rabies, a disease that is entirely preventable yet still kills an estimated 18,000–20,000 Indians every year, according to World Health Organisation (WHO). India carries the world’s heaviest burden of rabies deaths, accounting for more than one-third of global fatalities. Children are hit the hardest, with nearly half of all cases occurring in those under 15, often because their bites go unnoticed or untreated in time.The paradox is painful as the…

As autonomous vehicle systems rapidly grow in complexity, equipped with reasoning vision language action models, generative AI and advanced sensor technologies, developers need tools that are powerful, efficient and built to meet automotive-grade safety requirements. The NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor developer kit — now available for preorder today, with delivery in September — provides developers and researchers worldwide an advanced platform to accelerate the design, testing and deployment of AVs and intelligent mobility solutions. The developer kit is built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, next-generation Arm Neoverse V3AE CPUs and the NVIDIA DriveOS 7 software stack. It’s purpose-built for reasoning…

More than 180 current and former employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency published a letter Monday warning that debilitating cuts to the agency charged with handling federal disaster response risks a catastrophe like the one seen after Hurricane Katrina.“Our shared commitment to our country, our oaths of office, and our mission of helping people before, during, and after disasters compel us to warn Congress and the American people of the cascading effects of decisions made by the current administration,” the letter states. The statement in it is noteworthy not only for its content but for its overall existence; a…

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported in March before being brought back to the U.S. to face new criminal charges, was taken into immigration custody after checking in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement at its office in Baltimore on Monday morning, his attorney said.Abrego Garcia was detained as soon as he entered ICE’s office, attorney Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg said.”We asked the ICE officer what the reason for his detention was, the ICE officer didn’t answer,” Sandoval-Moshenberg said, adding that ICE officers would not say which detention center his client would be taken to.”We asked the ICE officer for a copy…

PAW PAW, Mich. — Robb Rynd and his brother grew up farming and wanted to do more of it outside their day jobs, so they went in together on what’s now a little over 200 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat and sorghum. Last year was a good year, and Rynd said he enjoyed walking the fields with his kids to see how the corn was doing.This year is a different story.All summer he’s been scouting for brown and wilting leaves or ears of corn with kernels missing, and now it’s becoming clear that every kernel will count this harvest. “It’s…

Today, we are excited to announce the public preview of support for inline code nodes in Amazon Bedrock Flows. With this powerful new capability, you can write Python scripts directly within your workflow, alleviating the need for separate AWS Lambda functions for simple logic. This feature streamlines preprocessing and postprocessing tasks (like data normalization and response formatting), simplifying generative AI application development and making it more accessible across organizations. By removing adoption barriers and reducing maintenance overhead, the inline code feature accelerates enterprise adoption of generative AI solutions, resulting in faster iteration cycles and broader participation in AI application building.…
