Nvidia $NVDA announced the next generation of its artificial intelligence processors on Sunday in a surprise move less than three months after its most recent launch.

At the Computex conference in Taipei, the chipmaker’s chief executive Jensen Huang unveiled “Rubin”, the successor to its “Blackwell” chips for data centres, which are currently in production after being announced in March. The unexpected move to reveal its next wave of products before Blackwell has even started shipping to customers shows how the world’s most valuable chipmaker is racing to entrench its dominance of AI processors, which has propelled it into the ranks of the world’s most valuable companies. “A new computing age is starting,” Huang said, as Nvidia also unveiled new AI chip deals with PC makers.

JPMorgan Unveils IndexGPT in Next Wall Street Bid to Tap AI Boom.

The bank is creating thematic investment baskets using GPT-4 model. Trademark for name was filed last year, stirring speculation A year after a wave of speculation broke out over its application to trademark the word “IndexGPT” in connection to an unspecified artificial intelligence-powered tool, JPMorgan Chase & Co. is finally unveiling the product that will bear the name. IndexGPT is a new range of thematic investment baskets created with the help of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model. The tool generates a list of keywords associated with a theme, which are then fed into a separate natural language processing model that scans news articles to identify companies involved in the space. In essence, it’s a largely automated way to create so-called thematic indexes, which identify investments based on emerging trends — think cloud computing, e-sports or cybersecurity — rather than on traditional industry sectors or company fundamentals.
