At GTC Paris — held alongside VivaTech, Europe’s largest tech event — NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang delivered a clear message: Europe isn’t just adopting AI — it’s building it. “We now have a new industry, an AI industry, and it’s now part of the new infrastructure, called intelligence infrastructure, that will be used by every country, every society,” Huang said, addressing an audience gathered online and at the iconic Dôme de Paris. From exponential inference growth to quantum breakthroughs, and from infrastructure to industry, agentic AI to robotics, Huang outlined how the region is laying the groundwork for an AI-powered future. A New Industrial Revolution At the heart of this transformation, Huang explained, are systems like GB200 NVL72 — “one giant GPU” and NVIDIA’s most powerful AI platform yet — now in full production and powering everything from sovereign models to quantum computing. “This machine was designed to be a thinking machine, a thinking machine, in the sense that it reasons, it plans, it spends a lot of time talking to itself,” Huang said, walking the audience through the size and scale of these machines and their performance. At GTC Paris, Huang showed audience members the innards of some of NVIDIA’s latest hardware. There’s more coming, with Huang saying NVIDIA’s partners are now producing 1,000 GB200 systems a week, “and this is just the beginning.” He walked the audience through a range of available systems ranging from the tiny NVIDIA DGX Spark to rack-mounted RTX PRO Servers. Huang explained that NVIDIA is working to help countries use technologies like these to build both AI infrastructure — services built for third parties to use and innovate on — and AI factories, which companies build for their own use, to generate revenue. NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy NVIDIA technologies across the region. NVIDIA is also expanding its network of technology centers across Europe — including new hubs in Finland, Germany, Spain, Italy and the U.K. — to accelerate skills development and quantum growth. Quantum Meets Classical Europe’s quantum ambitions just got a boost. The NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform is live on Denmark’s Gefion supercomputer, opening new possibilities for hybrid AI and quantum engineering. In addition, Huang announced that CUDA-Q is now available on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems. Across the continent, NVIDIA is partnering with supercomputing centers and quantum hardware builders to advance hybrid quantum-AI research and accelerate quantum error correction. “Quantum computing is reaching an inflection point,” Huang said. “We are within reach of being able to apply quantum computing, quantum classical computing, in areas that can solve some interesting problems in the coming years.” Sovereign Models, Smarter Agents European developers want more control over their models. Enter NVIDIA Nemotron, designed to help build large language models tuned to local needs. “And so now you know that you have access to an enhanced open model that is still open, that is top of the leader chart,” Huang said. These models will be coming to Perplexity, a reasoning search engine, enabling secure, multilingual AI deployment across Europe. “You can now ask and get questions answered in the language, in the culture, in the sensibility of your country,” Huang said. Huang explained how NVIDIA is helping countries across Europe build AI infrastructure. Every company will build its own agents, Huang said. To help create those agents, Huang introduced a suite of agentic AI blueprints, including an Agentic AI Safety blueprint for enterprises and governments. The new NVIDIA NeMo Agent toolkit and NVIDIA AI Blueprint for building data flywheels further accelerate the development of safe, high-performing AI agents. To help deploy these agents, NVIDIA is partnering with European governments, telcos and cloud providers to deploy the DGX Cloud Lepton platform across the region, providing instant access to accelerated computing capacity. “One model architecture, one deployment, and you can run it anywhere,” Huang said, adding that Lepton is now integrated with Hugging Face, giving developers direct access to global compute. The Industrial Cloud Goes Live AI isn’t just virtual. It’s powering physical systems, too, sparking a new industrial revolution. “We’re working on industrial AI with one company after another,” Huang said, describing work to build digital twins based on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform with companies across the continent. Huang explained that everything he showed during his keynote was “computer simulation, not animation” and that it looks beautiful because “it turns out the world is beautiful, and it turns out math is beautiful.” To further this work, Huang announced NVIDIA is launching the world’s first industrial AI cloud — to be built in Germany — to help Europe’s manufacturers simulate, automate and optimize at scale. “Soon, everything that moves will be robotic,” Huang said. “And the car is the next one.” NVIDIA DRIVE, NVIDIA’s full-stack AV platform, is now in production to accelerate the large-scale deployment of safe, intelligent transportation. And to show what’s coming next, Huang was joined on stage by Grek, a pint-sized robot, as Huang talked about how NVIDIA partnered with DeepMind and Disney to build Newton, the world’s most advanced physics training engine for robotics. The Next Wave The next wave of AI has begun — and it’s exponential, Huang explained. “We have physical robots, and we have information robots. We call them agents,” Huang said. “The technology necessary to teach a robot to manipulate, to simulate — and of course, the manifestation of an incredible robot — is now right in front of us.” This new era of AI is being driven by a surge in inference workloads. “The number of people using inference has gone from 8 million to 800 million — 100x in just a couple of years,” Huang said. To meet this demand, Huang emphasized the need for a new kind of computer: “We need a special computer designed for thinking, designed for reasoning. And that’s what Blackwell is — a thinking machine.” Huang and Grek, as he explained how AI is driving advancements in robotics. These Blackwell-powered systems will live in a new class of data centers — AI factories — built to generate tokens, the raw material of modern intelligence. “These AI factories are going to generate tokens,” Huang said, turning to Grek with a smile. “And these tokens are going to become your food, little Grek.” With that, the keynote closed on a bold vision: a future powered by sovereign infrastructure, agentic AI, robotics — and exponential inference — all built in partnership with Europe.

So, Annecy 2025 is coming up, and the Gobelins students have made some animations again. Apparently, they’re showing these little films before the festival screenings. If you missed them or just want to see them again, they’re available now. The animations are inspired by Hungarian culture or something like that. Not sure if it’s super exciting, but it’s there if you want to check it out. #Annecy2025 #Gobelins #animations #HungarianCulture #filmfestival

So, we’ve reached a point where our memories are on the brink of becoming as synthetic as our avocado toast. Enter Domestic Data Streamers, who’ve teamed up with Google Arts & Culture and the University of Toronto to create "Synthetic Memories." Forget about your blurry, unreliable brain; now we can reconstruct lost or never-existent memories with the help of AI! They call it “poetic mirrors of the past,” which sounds remarkably like the fancy way of saying, “We’ll just make stuff up for you.” Who needs genuine nostalgia when you can have a beautifully crafted illusion? Just remember—when your kids ask about your childhood, you can now show them a curated gallery of your “memories” that never were! #SyntheticMemories

It's absolutely ridiculous that in a society obsessed with nostalgia and gaming culture, we still can't get the basics right! The Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy VI Commander Deck should be a celebration of two iconic franchises, yet we’re left with a half-baked experience that fails to capture the emotional depth of Final Fantasy VI. How can they expect us to connect with Celes's heart-wrenching journey when the mechanics feel rushed and uninspired? This is a blatant disregard for the fans who cherish these stories! The second half of Final Fantasy VI deserves better than this shoddy crossover. I’m furious that these beloved characters are reduced to mere cards in a lackluster deck! #FinalFantasyVI #MagicTheGathering #GamingCommunity

harcèlement sexuel, Ubisoft, procès, dirigeants, accusations, France, culture d'entreprise, violences au travail ## Introduction Il est grand temps que le monde du jeu vidéo se réveille et prenne conscience des horreurs qui se cachent derrière ses portes dorées.

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! #Formentera20 #digitalculture #creativity #communication #innovation

Je suis vraiment en colère contre la façon dont les entreprises nous manipulent avec des produits inutiles comme les machines à slushie ! Qui a besoin de ces gadgets encombrants ? Je suis tombé sur un article sur 'Les 2 meilleures machines à slushie de 2025 pour un été frais' et je ne peux pas croire à quel point cela va à l'encontre de la santé de notre société. La Ninja Slushi est présentée comme la meilleure machine, mais attendez une minute ! Il y a une autre machine ? Pourquoi est-ce que personne ne parle des conséquences de cette surconsommation absurde ? Nous vivons dans un monde où la technologie devrait simplifier nos vies, pas les compliquer avec des appareils inutiles qui ne font que nous encourager à nous gaver de sucre. Ces machines à slushie, avec leur promesse d'un été rafraîchissant, ne sont rien d'autre qu'un piège marketing ! Elles nous poussent à acheter plus de produits transformés, plus de sucre, et finalement, à détruire notre santé. Est-ce que cela vous semble raisonnable ? Non, c’est scandaleux ! Chaque été, c'est la même histoire : des publicités brillantes, des machines glamours qui promettent de nous offrir la meilleure boisson glacée. Et qu'est-ce qu'on obtient en retour ? Une dépendance au sucre et un portefeuille vide. Pourquoi ne pas simplement faire des slushies maison avec des fruits frais et de l'eau ? Non, au lieu de cela, les entreprises nous poussent à acheter ces machines qui prennent de la place dans notre cuisine et qui ne seront utilisées qu'une ou deux fois avant de devenir de la poussière. Et parlons de l'impact environnemental ! Ces machines à slushie nécessitent de l'énergie, des plastiques pour les contenants et des ingrédients souvent emballés dans du plastique. Alors qu'on nous parle de durabilité, ces gadgets font tout le contraire. Au lieu de réduire notre empreinte écologique, nous nous retrouvons à en augmenter une, tout cela pour une boisson glacée qui, soyons honnêtes, peut être faite à la maison sans effort. Il est temps de se réveiller et de refuser d'être manipulés par ces pratiques commerciales scandaleuses. Nous devons nous demander : est-ce vraiment ce dont nous avons besoin ? Ou est-ce simplement une autre façon de nous faire dépenser notre argent durement gagné pour des produits qui n'apportent aucune valeur réelle à nos vies ? Alors, au lieu de vous précipiter pour acheter la Ninja Slushi ou l'autre machine à slushie qui ne fait que renforcer cette culture de la consommation, réfléchissez à ce que vous achetez et à ce que cela signifie pour votre santé et l'environnement. Ce n'est pas qu'une question de rafraîchissement, c'est une question de bon sens ! #MachinesÀSlushie #ConsommationResponsable #Santé #ÉconomieDÉnergie #Écologie

Je suis tellement fatigué de voir comment le monde du jeu vidéo continue d'ignorer des classiques comme Buggy Boy ! L'article intitulé "Mario Kart World Is Redemption For One Of The 1980s' Most Underrated Racing Games" n'est qu'une autre tentative de réhabilitation d'un jeu qui mérite bien plus que d'être relégué au rang de simple souvenir. Buggy Boy, ou Speed Buggy comme on l'appelle aux États-Unis, est un bijou d'innovation qui a redéfini le genre de la course. Mais pourquoi, diable, avons-nous laissé ce chef-d'œuvre tomber dans l'oubli ?! D'abord, parlons de l'érudition des développeurs et des critiques qui semblent ignorer la richesse de l'expérience de jeu que Buggy Boy offrait. Ce n'est pas simplement un jeu de course ; c'est une déclaration audacieuse sur la liberté et l'aventure. Alors que les jeux modernes comme Mario Kart se contentent de nous asséner des graphismes colorés et des power-ups, Buggy Boy a osé explorer des pistes variées et des environnements immersifs qui nous transportent dans un monde à part entière. Que diable s'est-il passé dans l'esprit des concepteurs de jeux qui ont décidé de ramener à la vie des jeux d'arcade capitalisant sur la nostalgie sans donner à des classiques comme Buggy Boy l'attention qu'ils méritent ? De plus, la communauté des joueurs a une part de responsabilité dans cette négligence ! Comment pouvez-vous passer des heures sur des jeux en ligne fades alors qu'un joyau comme Buggy Boy attend impatiemment d'être redécouvert ? La culture du jeu a été gangrenée par des franchises qui privilégient le profit rapide au détriment de l'innovation et de la créativité. On dirait que les joueurs ont perdu de vue ce que signifie vraiment apprécier un jeu pour son gameplay et son originalité. Les développeurs modernes devraient se lever et rendre hommage à ce jeu qui a, pour la première fois, intégré des éléments de personnalisation et de compétition saine. Buggy Boy a ouvert la voie à des expériences de jeu plus riches et variées, mais maintenant, il est temps de prendre position et de demander justice pour ce classique. Assez de faire passer Mario Kart pour le saint graal des jeux de course ! C'est le moment de redonner à Buggy Boy le respect qu'il mérite ! Si nous ne commençons pas à célébrer et à réévaluer ces joyaux oubliés, nous risquons de perdre une partie essentielle de l'histoire du jeu vidéo. Buggy Boy n'est pas juste un jeu ; c'est une époque, une mémoire, un héritage. Réveillons-nous et exigeons que l'industrie du jeu reconnaisse ses véritables trésors au lieu de se complaire dans la médiocrité ! #BuggyBoy #JeuxVidéo #Nostalgie #MarioKart #HéritageDesJeux

Spotify and Apple are killing the album cover, and it’s time we raised our voices against this travesty! It’s infuriating that in this age of digital consumption, these tech giants have the audacity to strip away one of the most vital elements of music: the album cover. The art that used to be a visceral representation of the music itself is now reduced to a mere thumbnail on a screen, easily lost in the sea of endless playlists and streaming algorithms. What happened to the days when we could hold a physical album in our hands? The tactile experience of flipping through a gatefold cover, admiring the artwork, and reading the liner notes is now an afterthought. Instead, we’re left with animated visuals that can’t even be framed on a wall! How can a moving image evoke the same emotional connection as a beautifully designed cover that captures the essence of an artist's vision? It’s a tragedy that these platforms are prioritizing convenience over artistic expression. The music industry needs to wake up! Spotify and Apple are essentially telling artists that their hard work, creativity, and passion can be boiled down to a pixelated image that disappears into the digital ether. This is an outright assault on the artistry of music! Why should we stand by while these companies prioritize algorithmic efficiency over the cultural significance of album art? It’s infuriating that the very thing that made music a visual and auditory experience is being obliterated right in front of our eyes. Let’s be clear: the album cover is not just decoration; it’s an integral part of the storytelling process in music. It sets the tone, evokes emotions, and can even influence how we perceive the music itself. When an album cover is designed with care and intention, it becomes an extension of the artist’s voice. Yet here we are, scrolling through Spotify and Apple Music, bombarded with generic visuals that do nothing to honor the artists or their work. Spotify and Apple need to be held accountable for this degradation of music culture. This isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about preserving the integrity of artistic expression. We need to demand that these platforms acknowledge the importance of album covers and find ways to integrate them into our digital experiences. Otherwise, we’re on a dangerous path where music becomes nothing more than a disposable commodity. If we allow Spotify and Apple to continue on this trajectory, we risk losing an entire culture of artistic expression. It’s time for us as consumers to take a stand and remind these companies that music is not just about the sound; it’s about the entire experience. Let’s unite and fight back against this digital degradation of music artistry. We deserve better than a world where the album cover is dying a slow death. Let’s reclaim the beauty of music and its visual representation before it’s too late! #AlbumArt #MusicCulture #Spotify #AppleMusic #ProtectArtistry
