A regulator has accused NVIDIA of violating China's antitrust laws over its acquisition of chipmaker Mellanox. In its preliminary findings of an investigation it commenced in December , the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) claimed that the company breached both national regulations and the conditional terms China outlined when it rubberstamped the $6.9 billion takeover.

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-09-24 14:11:51

Y Combinator hosted its Summer 2025 Demo Day last week, showcasing the latest batch of over 160 startups. As with recent batches, the majority of startups presented AI-centric solutions. However, a clear evolution was evident. Instead of “AI-powered” products, many companies are now building AI agents or the infrastructure and tools needed to develop them. For instance, this batch had a flurry of voice AI solutions and new businesses focused on helping others monetize the “AI economy” with ads

Robinhood plans to launch a startups fund open to all retail investors

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-09-24 14:22:16

Robinhood announced Monday it has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a new publicly traded fund that will hold shares of startups. The idea behind the “Robinhood Ventures Fund I” is to allow every retail investor access to make money on the hottest startups before they go public.

It was a muggy July day in Santa Cruz and life could not have been more mundane for Alessandro “Alo” Slebir. The 24-year-old was pounding wooden concrete forms into a missing section of sidewalk. Cars raced by on a suburban highway as a neighbor walked over, looked at Slebir and asked, “Should I move my car?” “Hey, no worries, you’re fine! You’re not in the way,” Slebir said, in his characteristically friendly demeanor before returning to his hammer. You wouldn’t know it from the work boots or

During WWDC25, Apple made sure to (almost passive-aggressively) highlight all the Apple Intelligence features it had already released, as it tried to counter the fact that it is behind on AI.

AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been
