  The case for building AGI has always been framed around invention, such as curing cancer or solving fusion energy.

  Prompt injection can be caught by watching the neurons that fire when it happens, so a defence no longer depends on the model reporting the attack.

  Their words

  it's it's literally we're looking at neurons in the model's brain that light up when prompt injection happens. So the model won't even tell you but we can actually see those neurons and we can figure out and diagnose that it's happening. And then you combine that with the auto mode classifier and with these three layers we just cannot demonstrate prompt injection anymore.

  No platform in the world has a better performance-per-total-cost-of-ownership ratio than Nvidia's, and nobody will run the public benchmark to show otherwise.

  AI agents can already resolve more than eighty per cent of a company's incoming customer issues.

  Their words

  One of the first was we had a bet as to what percent of kind of all incoming customer issues one of our agents could resolve. And Brett was maybe the pessimist and realist favorably charitably. And I bet we'd exceed 80% by the end of the year and we did.

  Great customer service has always been a luxury only a Hermès or a Four Seasons could afford, and AI is what breaks the trade-off between its cost and its quality.

  Their words

  And the reason this is important is what we're trying to do in a way is resolve this age-old tension between the cost and quality of customer experience where I think every great business wants to deliver an amazing experience to their customers. But unless you're like Hermes or the Four Seasons, it's too expensive to do.

  Frontier AI systems cannot be presumed safe unless proven unsafe; developers must bear the burden of proof that risks stay within acceptable limits.

  Their words

  Despite evaluations, we cannot consider coming powerful frontier AI systems "safe unless proven unsafe". With current testing methodologies, issues can easily be missed. Additionally, it is unclear if governments can quickly build the immense expertise needed for reliable technical evaluations of AI capabilities and societal-scale risks. Given this, developers of frontier AI should carry the burden of proof to demonstrate that their plans keep risks within acceptable limits.
