What just happened? A new financial marketplace aims to offer crucial risk management tools to a resource at the center of the tech industry's explosive growth. If successful, the initiative could make access to high-performance compute more predictable and affordable. The world of artificial intelligence is built on computing power, and at the heart of that engine are graphics processing units. These chips are in such high demand that they have often been compared to oil during the gold rush,

In brief: There's a strange situation occurring in China: despite Nvidia's high-end AI chips being restricted from export to the country, businesses that repair these GPUs are experiencing a boom in demand. One company now handles up to 500 AI chip repairs every month. The US has restricted the export of Nvidia's most powerful AI chips to China since 2022 over fears that they could be used for military purposes.

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.
