Startup Uses NVIDIA RTX-Powered Generative AI to Make Coolers, Cooler

Mark Theriault founded the startup FITY envisioning a line of clever cooling products: cold drink holders that come with freezable pucks to keep beverages cold for longer without the mess of ice. The entrepreneur started with 3D prints of products in his basement, building one unit at a time, before eventually scaling to mass production.
Founding a consumer product company from scratch was a tall order for a single person. Going from preliminary sketches to production-ready designs was a major challenge. To bring his creative vision to life, Theriault relied on AI and his NVIDIA GeForce RTX-equipped system. For him, AI isn’t just a tool — it’s an entire pipeline to help him accomplish his goals. about his workflow below.
Plus, GeForce RTX 5050 laptops start arriving today at retailers worldwide, from GeForce RTX 5050 Laptop GPUs feature 2,560 NVIDIA Blackwell CUDA cores, fifth-generation AI Tensor Cores, fourth-generation RT Cores, a ninth-generation NVENC encoder and a sixth-generation NVDEC decoder.
In addition, NVIDIA’s Plug and Play: Project G-Assist Plug-In Hackathon — running virtually through Wednesday, July 16 — invites developers to explore AI and build custom G-Assist plug-ins for a chance to win prizes. the date for the G-Assist Plug-In webinar on Wednesday, July 9, from 10-11 a.m. PT, to learn more about Project G-Assist capabilities and fundamentals, and to participate in a live Q&A session.
From Concept to Completion
To create his standout products, Theriault tinkers with potential FITY Flex cooler designs with traditional methods, from sketch to computer-aided design to rapid prototyping, until he finds the right vision. A unique aspect of the FITY Flex design is that it can be customized with fun, popular shoe charms.
For packaging design inspiration, Theriault uses his preferred text-to-image generative AI model for prototyping, Stable Diffusion XL — which runs 60% faster with the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kit — using the modular, node-based interface ComfyUI.
ComfyUI gives users granular control over every step of the generation process — prompting, sampling, model loading, image conditioning and post-processing. It’s ideal for advanced users like Theriault who want to customize how images are generated.

NVIDIA and GeForce RTX GPUs based on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture include fifth-generation Tensor Cores designed to accelerate AI and deep learning workloads. These GPUs work with CUDA optimizations in PyTorch to seamlessly accelerate ComfyUI, reducing generation time on FLUX.1-dev, an image generation model from Black Forest Labs, from two minutes per image on the Mac M3 Ultra to about four seconds on the GeForce RTX 5090 desktop GPU.
ComfyUI can also add ControlNets — AI models that help control image generation — that Theriault uses for tasks like guiding human poses, setting compositions via depth mapping and converting scribbles to images.
Theriault even creates his own fine-tuned models to keep his style consistent. He used low-rank adaptationmodels — small, efficient adapters into specific layers of the network — enabling hyper-customized generation with minimal compute cost.

“Over the last few months, I’ve been shifting from AI-assisted computer graphics renders to fully AI-generated product imagery using a custom Flux LoRA I trained in house. My RTX 4080 SUPER GPU has been essential for getting the performance I need to train and iterate quickly.” – Mark Theriault, founder of FITY

Theriault also taps into generative AI to create marketing assets like FITY Flex product packaging. He uses FLUX.1, which excels at generating legible text within images, addressing a common challenge in text-to-image models.
Though FLUX.1 models can typically consume over 23GB of VRAM, NVIDIA has collaborated with Black Forest Labs to help reduce the size of these models using quantization — a technique that reduces model size while maintaining quality. The models were then accelerated with TensorRT, which provides an up to 2x speedup over PyTorch.
To simplify using these models in ComfyUI, NVIDIA created the FLUX.1 NIM microservice, a containerized version of FLUX.1 that can be loaded in ComfyUI and enables FP4 quantization and TensorRT support. Combined, the models come down to just over 11GB of VRAM, and performance improves by 2.5x.
Theriault uses the Blender Cycles app to render out final files. For 3D workflows, NVIDIA offers the AI Blueprint for 3D-guided generative AI to ease the positioning and composition of 3D images, so anyone interested in this method can quickly get started.

Finally, Theriault uses large language models to generate marketing copy — tailored for search engine optimization, tone and storytelling — as well as to complete his patent and provisional applications, work that usually costs thousands of dollars in legal fees and considerable time.

“As a one-man band with a ton of content to generate, having on-the-fly generation capabilities for my product designs really helps speed things up.” – Mark Theriault, founder of FITY

Every texture, every word, every photo, every accessory was a micro-decision, Theriault said. AI helped him survive the “death by a thousand cuts” that can stall solo startup founders, he added.
Each week, the RTX AI Garage blog series features community-driven AI innovations and content for those looking to learn more about NVIDIA NIM microservices and AI Blueprints, as well as building AI agents, creative workflows, digital humans, productivity apps and more on AI PCs and workstations.

Formentera20 is back, and this time it promises to be even more enlightening than the last twelve editions combined. Can you feel the excitement in the air? From October 2 to 4, 2025, the idyllic shores of Formentera will serve as the perfect backdrop for our favorite gathering of digital wizards, creativity gurus, and communication wizards. Because nothing says "cutting-edge innovation" quite like a tropical island where you can sip on your coconut water while discussing the latest trends in the digital universe.

This year’s theme? A delightful concoction of culture, creativity, and communication—all served with a side of salty sea breeze. Who knew the key to world-class networking was just a plane ticket away to a beach? Forget about conference rooms; nothing like a sun-kissed beach to inspire groundbreaking ideas. Surely, the sound of waves crashing will help us unlock the secrets of digital communication.

And let’s not overlook the stellar lineup of speakers they've assembled. I can only imagine the conversations: “How can we boost engagement on social media?” followed by a collective nod as they all sip their overpriced organic juices. I’m sure the beach vibes will lend an air of authenticity to those discussions on algorithm tweaks and engagement metrics. Because nothing screams “authenticity” quite like a luxury resort hosting the crème de la crème of the advertising world.

Let’s not forget the irony of discussing “innovation” while basking in the sun. Because what better way to innovate than to sit in a circle, wearing sunglasses, while contemplating the latest app that helps you find the nearest beach bar? It’s the dream, isn’t it? It’s almost poetic how the world of high-tech communication thrives in such a low-tech environment—a setting that leaves you wondering if the real innovation is simply the ability to disconnect from the digital chaos while still pretending to be a part of it.

But let’s be real: the true highlight of Formentera20 is not the knowledge shared or the networking done; it’s the Instagram posts that will flood our feeds. After all, who doesn’t want to showcase their “hard work” at a digital festival by posting a picture of themselves with a sunset in the background? It’s all about branding, darling.

So, mark your calendars! Prepare your best beach outfit and your most serious expression for photos. Come for the culture, stay for the creativity, and leave with the satisfaction of having been part of something that sounds ridiculously important while you, in reality, are just enjoying a holiday under the guise of professional development.

In the end, Formentera20 isn’t just a festival; it’s an experience—one that lets you bask in the sun while pretending you’re solving the world’s digital problems. Cheers to innovation, creativity, and the art of making work look like a vacation!

Oh, IMAX, the grand illusion of reality turned up to eleven! Who knew that watching a two-hour movie could feel like a NASA launch, complete with a symphony of surround sound that could wake the dead? For those who haven't had the pleasure, IMAX is not just a cinema; it’s an experience that makes you feel like you’re inside the movie—right before you realize you’re just trapped in a ridiculously oversized chair, too small for your popcorn bucket.

Let’s talk about those gigantic screens. You know, the ones that make your living room TV look like a postage stamp? Apparently, the idea is to engulf you in the film so much that you forget about the existential dread of your daily life. Because honestly, who needs a therapist when you can sit in a dark room, surrounded by strangers, with a screen larger than your future looming in front of you?

And don’t get me started on the “revolutionary technology.” IMAX is synonymous with larger-than-life images, but let's face it—it's just fancy pixels. I mean, how many different ways can you capture a superhero saving the world at this point? Yet, somehow, they manage to convince us that we need to watch it all in the world’s biggest format, because watching it on a normal screen would be akin to watching it through a keyhole, right?

Then there’s the sound. IMAX promises "the most immersive audio experience." Yes, because nothing says relaxation like feeling like you’re in the middle of a battle scene with explosions that could shake the very foundations of your soul. You know, I used to think my neighbors were loud, but now I realize they could never compete with the sound of a spaceship crashing at full volume. Thanks, IMAX, for redefining the meaning of “loud neighbors.”

And let’s not forget the tickets. A small mortgage payment for an evening of cinematic bliss! Who needs to save for retirement when you can experience the thrill of a blockbuster in a seat that costs more than your last three grocery bills combined? It’s a small price to pay for the opportunity to see your favorite actors’ pores in glorious detail.

In conclusion, if you haven’t yet experienced the wonder that is IMAX, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions and a potential existential crisis. Because nothing says “reality” quite like watching a fictional world unfold on a screen so big it makes your own life choices seem trivial. So, grab your credit card, put on your 3D glasses, and let’s dive into the cinematic abyss of IMAX—where reality takes a backseat, and your wallet weeps in despair.

Ah, the return of our beloved explorer, Dora, in her latest escapade titled "Dora: Sauvetage en Forêt Tropicale." Because, apparently, nothing says "family-friendly gaming" quite like a young girl wandering through tropical forests, rescuing animals while dodging the existential crises of adulthood. Who needs therapy when you have a backpack and a map?

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer brilliance of this revival. Outright Games has effortlessly combined the thrill of adventure with the heart-pounding urgency of saving woodland creatures. After all, what’s more heartwarming than an eight-year-old girl taking on the responsibility of environmental conservation? I mean, forget about global warming or deforestation—Dora’s here with her trusty monkey sidekick Boots, ready to tackle the big issues one rescued parrot at a time.

And let’s not overlook the gameplay mechanics! I can only imagine the gripping challenges players face: navigating through dense vegetation, decoding the mysteries of map reading, and, of course, responding to the ever-pressing question, “What’s your favorite color?” Talk about raising the stakes. Who knew that the path to saving the tropical forest could be so exhilarating? It’s like combining Indiana Jones with a kindergarten art class.

Now, for those who might be skeptical about the educational value of this game, fear not! Dora is back to teach kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and of course, how to avoid the dreaded “swiper” who’s always lurking around trying to swipe your fun. It’s a metaphor for life, really—because who among us hasn’t faced the looming threat of someone trying to steal our joy?

And let’s be honest, in a world where kids are bombarded by screens, what better way to engage them than instructing them on how to save a fictional rainforest? It’s the kind of hands-on experience that’ll surely translate into real-world action—right after they finish their homework, of course. Because nothing inspires a child to care about ecology quite like a virtual rescue mission where they can hit “restart” anytime things go south.

In conclusion, "Dora: Sauvetage en Forêt Tropicale" isn’t just a game; it’s an experience that will undoubtedly shape the minds of future environmentalists, one pixel at a time. So gear up, parents! Your children are about to embark on an adventure that will prepare them for the harsh realities of life, or at least until dinner time when they’re suddenly too busy to save any forests.

Apple’s A20 Rumored To Be Exclusive To The iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max And The Company’s Foldable Flagship, Will Leverage TSMC’s Advanced 2nm Process Combined With The Newer WMCM Packaging

TSMC might have started accepting orders for its 2nm wafers, but the first chipsets fabricated on this cutting-edge lithography are not expected to arrive until late next year. As the majority of you are well aware, Apple likely pounced on the opportunity to be the first recipient of this technology, with its A20 rumored to be mass produced on the 2nm process. However, the same rumor claims that the Cupertino firm will employ the foundry giant’s WMCMpackaging, bringing in more benefits, but customers can only experience these if they intend on making the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, or Apple’s upcoming foldable flagship their daily driver.
The latest rumor also claims that Apple will not be upping the RAM count on any iPhone model that will ship with the A20
The efforts to bring WMCM packaging to the A20 will be highly beneficial for Apple because it will allow the latter to maintain the chipset’s footprint while having immense flexibility in combining different components. In short, multiple dies such as the CPU, GPU, memory, and other parts can be integrated at a wafer level, before being sliced into individual chips. This approach will help Apple to mass manufacture smaller chipsets that are considerably power-efficient, but also powerful at the same time, leading to an incredible ‘performance per watt’ metric.
China Times reports that this A20 upgrade will arrive for the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple’s foldable flagship, which the rumor refers to as the iPhone 18 Fold. TSMC’s production line specifically for WMCM chipsets will be located in Chiayi AP7, with an estimated monthly production capacity of 50,000 pieces by the end of 2026. Interestingly, the RAM count will not change from this year, with Apple said to retain the 12GB limit. We have reported about the iPhone 18 series shifting to TSMC’s WMCM packaging before, while also talking about a separate rumor claiming that the A20 will be 15 percent faster than the A19 at the same power draw.
The rumor does not mention whether the less expensive iPhone 18 models will be treated to chipsets featuring WMCM packaging, or if Apple intends to save on design and production costs by sticking with the older Integrated Fan-Outpackaging. All of these answers will be provided in the fourth quarter of 2026, when the iPhone 18 family goes official, so stay tuned.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
In the past decade, healthcare data has become one of the most sought-after targets in cybercrime. From insurers to clinics, every player in the ecosystem handles some form of sensitive information. However, breaches do not always originate from hospitals or health apps. Increasingly, patient data is managed by third-party vendors offering digital services such as scheduling, billing and marketing. One such breach at a digital marketing agency serving dental practices recently exposed approximately 2.7 million patient profiles and more than 8.8 million appointment records.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you’ll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join. Illustration of a hacker at work  Massive healthcare data leak exposes millions: What you need to knowCybernews researchers have discovered a misconfigured MongoDB database exposing 2.7 million patient profiles and 8.8 million appointment records. The database was publicly accessible online, unprotected by passwords or authentication protocols. Anyone with basic knowledge of database scanning tools could have accessed it.The exposed data included names, birthdates, addresses, emails, phone numbers, gender, chart IDs, language preferences and billing classifications. Appointment records also contained metadata such as timestamps and institutional identifiers.MASSIVE DATA BREACH EXPOSES 184 MILLION PASSWORDS AND LOGINSClues within the data structure point toward Gargle, a Utah-based company that builds websites and offers marketing tools for dental practices. While not a confirmed source, several internal references and system details suggest a strong connection. Gargle provides appointment scheduling, form submission and patient communication services. These functions require access to patient information, making the firm a likely link in the exposure.After the issue was reported, the database was secured. The duration of the exposure remains unknown, and there is no public evidence indicating whether the data was downloaded by malicious actors before being locked down.We reached out to Gargle for a comment but did not hear back before our deadline. A healthcare professional viewing heath data    How healthcare data breaches lead to identity theft and insurance fraudThe exposed data presents a broad risk profile. On its own, a phone number or billing record might seem limited in scope. Combined, however, the dataset forms a complete profile that could be exploited for identity theft, insurance fraud and targeted phishing campaigns.Medical identity theft allows attackers to impersonate patients and access services under a false identity. Victims often remain unaware until significant damage is done, ranging from incorrect medical records to unpaid bills in their names. The leak also opens the door to insurance fraud, with actors using institutional references and chart data to submit false claims.This type of breach raises questions about compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which mandates strong security protections for entities handling patient data. Although Gargle is not a healthcare provider, its access to patient-facing infrastructure could place it under the scope of that regulation as a business associate. A healthcare professional working on a laptop  5 ways you can stay safe from healthcare data breachesIf your information was part of the healthcare breach or any similar one, it’s worth taking a few steps to protect yourself.1. Consider identity theft protection services: Since the healthcare data breach exposed personal and financial information, it’s crucial to stay proactive against identity theft. Identity theft protection services offer continuous monitoring of your credit reports, Social Security number and even the dark web to detect if your information is being misused. These services send you real-time alerts about suspicious activity, such as new credit inquiries or attempts to open accounts in your name, helping you act quickly before serious damage occurs. Beyond monitoring, many identity theft protection companies provide dedicated recovery specialists who assist you in resolving fraud issues, disputing unauthorized charges and restoring your identity if it’s compromised. See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft.2. Use personal data removal services: The healthcare data breach leaks loads of information about you, and all this could end up in the public domain, which essentially gives anyone an opportunity to scam you.  One proactive step is to consider personal data removal services, which specialize in continuously monitoring and removing your information from various online databases and websites. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time. Check out my top picks for data removal services here. GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREGet a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web3. Have strong antivirus software: Hackers have people’s email addresses and full names, which makes it easy for them to send you a phishing link that installs malware and steals all your data. These messages are socially engineered to catch them, and catching them is nearly impossible if you’re not careful. However, you’re not without defenses.The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have strong antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe. Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices.4. Enable two-factor authentication: While passwords weren’t part of the data breach, you still need to enable two-factor authentication. It gives you an extra layer of security on all your important accounts, including email, banking and social media. 2FA requires you to provide a second piece of information, such as a code sent to your phone, in addition to your password when logging in. This makes it significantly harder for hackers to access your accounts, even if they have your password. Enabling 2FA can greatly reduce the risk of unauthorized access and protect your sensitive data.5. Be wary of mailbox communications: Bad actors may also try to scam you through snail mail. The data leak gives them access to your address. They may impersonate people or brands you know and use themes that require urgent attention, such as missed deliveries, account suspensions and security alerts. Kurt’s key takeawayIf nothing else, this latest leak shows just how poorly patient data is being handled today. More and more, non-medical vendors are getting access to sensitive information without facing the same rules or oversight as hospitals and clinics. These third-party services are now a regular part of how patients book appointments, pay bills or fill out forms. But when something goes wrong, the fallout is just as serious. Even though the database was taken offline, the bigger problem hasn't gone away. Your data is only as safe as the least careful company that gets access to it.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPDo you think healthcare companies are investing enough in their cybersecurity infrastructure?

How to set up a WhatsApp account without Facebook or Instagram

There's no shortage of reasons to stay off the Meta ecosystem, which includes Facebook and Instagram, but there are some places where WhatsApp remains the main form of text-based communication. The app is a great alternative to SMS, since it offers end-to-end encryption and was one of the go-to methods to send uncompressed photos and videos between iPhone and Android users before Apple adopted RCS. Even though Facebook, which later rebranded to Meta, acquired WhatsApp in 2014, it doesn't require a Facebook or Instagram account to get on WhatsApp — just a working phone number.
How to create a WhatsApp account without Facebook or Instagram
To start, you need to download WhatsApp on your smartphone. Once you open the app, you can start the registration process by entering a working phone number. After entering your phone number, you'll receive a unique six-digit code that will complete the registration process. From there, you can sort through your contacts on your attached smartphone to build out your WhatsApp network, but you won't have to involve Facebook or Instagram at any point.
Alternatively, you can request a voice call to deliver the code instead. Either way, once you complete the registration process, you have a WhatsApp account that's not tied to a Facebook or Instagram account.
How to link WhatsApp to other Meta accounts
If you change your mind and want more crossover between your Meta apps, you can go into the app's Settings panel to change that. In Settings, you can find the Accounts Center option with the Meta badge on it. Once you hit it, you'll see options to "Add Facebook account" and "Add Instagram account." Linking these accounts means Meta can offer more personalized experiences across the platforms because of the personal data that's now interconnected.
You can always remove your WhatsApp account from Meta's Account Center by going back into the same Settings panel. However, any previously combined info will stay combined, but Meta will stop combining any personal data after you remove the account.This article originally appeared on Engadget at

NVIDIA TensorRT Boosts Stable Diffusion 3.5 Performance on NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs

Generative AI has reshaped how people create, imagine and interact with digital content.
As AI models continue to grow in capability and complexity, they require more VRAM, or video random access memory. The base Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large model, for example, uses over 18GB of VRAM — limiting the number of systems that can run it well.
By applying quantization to the model, noncritical layers can be removed or run with lower precision. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series and the Ada Lovelace generation of NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs support FP8 quantization to help run these quantized models, and the latest-generation NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs also add support for FP4.
NVIDIA collaborated with Stability AI to quantize its latest model, Stable Diffusion3.5 Large, to FP8 — reducing VRAM consumption by 40%. Further optimizations to SD3.5 Large and Medium with the NVIDIA TensorRT software development kitdouble performance.
In addition, TensorRT has been reimagined for RTX AI PCs, combining its industry-leading performance with just-in-time, on-device engine building and an 8x smaller package size for seamless AI deployment to more than 100 million RTX AI PCs. TensorRT for RTX is now available as a standalone SDK for developers.
RTX-Accelerated AI
NVIDIA and Stability AI are boosting the performance and reducing the VRAM requirements of Stable Diffusion 3.5, one of the world’s most popular AI image models. With NVIDIA TensorRT acceleration and quantization, users can now generate and edit images faster and more efficiently on NVIDIA RTX GPUs.
Stable Diffusion 3.5 quantized FP8generates images in half the time with similar quality as FP16. Prompt: A serene mountain lake at sunrise, crystal clear water reflecting snow-capped peaks, lush pine trees along the shore, soft morning mist, photorealistic, vibrant colors, high resolution.
To address the VRAM limitations of SD3.5 Large, the model was quantized with TensorRT to FP8, reducing the VRAM requirement by 40% to 11GB. This means five GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs can run the model from memory instead of just one.
SD3.5 Large and Medium models were also optimized with TensorRT, an AI backend for taking full advantage of Tensor Cores. TensorRT optimizes a model’s weights and graph — the instructions on how to run a model — specifically for RTX GPUs.
FP8 TensorRT boosts SD3.5 Large performance by 2.3x vs. BF16 PyTorch, with 40% less memory use. For SD3.5 Medium, BF16 TensorRT delivers a 1.7x speedup.
Combined, FP8 TensorRT delivers a 2.3x performance boost on SD3.5 Large compared with running the original models in BF16 PyTorch, while using 40% less memory. And in SD3.5 Medium, BF16 TensorRT provides a 1.7x performance increase compared with BF16 PyTorch.
The optimized models are now available on Stability AI’s Hugging Face page.
NVIDIA and Stability AI are also collaborating to release SD3.5 as an NVIDIA NIM microservice, making it easier for creators and developers to access and deploy the model for a wide range of applications. The NIM microservice is expected to be released in July.
TensorRT for RTX SDK Released
Announced at Microsoft Build — and already available as part of the new Windows ML framework in preview — TensorRT for RTX is now available as a standalone SDK for developers.
Previously, developers needed to pre-generate and package TensorRT engines for each class of GPU — a process that would yield GPU-specific optimizations but required significant time.
With the new version of TensorRT, developers can create a generic TensorRT engine that’s optimized on device in seconds. This JIT compilation approach can be done in the background during installation or when they first use the feature.
The easy-to-integrate SDK is now 8x smaller and can be invoked through Windows ML — Microsoft’s new AI inference backend in Windows. Developers can download the new standalone SDK from the NVIDIA Developer page or test it in the Windows ML preview.
For more details, read this NVIDIA technical blog and this Microsoft Build recap.
Join NVIDIA at GTC Paris
