Nvidia chips become the first GPUs to fall to Rowhammer bit-flip attacks

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-30 19:25:36

Nvidia is recommending a mitigation for customers of one of its GPU product lines that will degrade performance by up to 10 percent in a bid to protect users from exploits that could let hackers sabotage work projects and possibly cause other compromises. The move comes in response to an attack a team of academic researchers demonstrated against Nvidia’s RTX A6000, a widely used GPU for high-performance computing that’s available from many cloud services.

For better or worse, the rise of ChatGPT as a writing tool, search engine, or conversational buddy has considerably changed how we communicate with each other and with technology. At the same time, ChatGPT’s widespread use has also sparked numerous online debates about whether it’s possible to spot AI-created content by looking at certain cues, like the em dash.

AI users are spiraling into severe mental health crises after extensive use of OpenAI's ChatGPT and other emotive, anthropomorphic chatbots — and health experts are taking notice. In a recent CBC segment about the phenomenon, primary care physician and CBC contributor Dr. Peter Lin explained that while "ChatGPT psychosis" — as the experience has come to be colloquially known — isn't an official medical diagnosis just yet, he thinks it's on its way.

NVIDIA shares guidance to defend GDDR6 GPUs against Rowhammer attacks

NVIDIA is warning users to activate System Level Error-Correcting Code mitigation to protect against Rowhammer attacks on graphical processors with GDDR6 memory. The company is reinforcing the recommendation as new research demonstrates a Rowhammer attack against an NVIDIA A6000 GPU (graphical processing unit). Rowhammer is a hardware fault that can be triggered through software processes and stems from memory cells being too close to each other. The attack was demonstrated on DRAM cells but i

Tyr, a new Rust DRM driver targeting CSF-based ARM Mali GPUs

The last year has seen substantial progress on the DRM infrastructure required to write GPU drivers in Rust. While a great part of it was fueled by the development of Nova (the new driver for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs), and by AGX (the driver for the GPUs on Apple's M-series chip that preceded Nova), a few components were being worked on to cater to a then undisclosed driver that was being prototyped behind the scenes.

In Brief Some ChatGPT subscribers are reporting a new feature appearing in their drop-down list of available tools called “Study Together.” The mode is apparently the chatbot’s way of becoming a better educational tool. Rather than providing answers to prompts, some say it asks more questions and requires the human to answer, like OpenAI’s answer to Google’s LearnLM.

In April 2023, a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, the Internet went wild for two new software projects with the audacious names BabyAGI and AutoGPT. “Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building ‘autonomous agents’ that work with large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems,” Mark Sullivan wrote for Fast Company. “Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.”

OpenAI has again confirmed that it will unify multiple models into one and create GPT-5, which is expected to ship sometime in the summer. ChatGPT currently has too many capable models for different tasks. While the models are powerful, it can be confusing because all models have identical names. But another issue is that OpenAI maintains an "o" lineup for reasoning capabilities, while the 4o and other models have multi-modality.
