This is how mature enterprises solve security problems (vs braggadocios press releases that create panic instead).
Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.
Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come.
But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility.
This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems.
Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy.
Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

Andreessen Horowitz has a message for up-and-coming tech talent: Don’t drop out of school to start a company; come do school with us instead. The venture-capital firm is investing $35 million in an unaccredited two-year alternative to traditional college. on.wsj.com/4rnuxci

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down.
The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it.
Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the technology?

Frontier Labs are incented to be fearful as it provides a moral justification for staying closed.
Chinese Labs take the consistent position of doing what’s good for all and being open.
So the little guys find themselves in the uncomfortable position of rooting for the Chinese…

AT&T is doing exactly what OpenAI and Anthropic fear about enterprise.
they’re routing 40% of employee AI usage to open models, and intend to boost it to 60-70%.
> coding costs down 56%
> quality dropped just 2%
> 45B tokens/day btw.
AT&T AI chief: open models are “just as good or better” for many tasks.
they still use frontier models for the critical work but everything else gets routed to cheaper open models.

Open-weight models are essential to a healthy AI ecosystem. Together with others across our industry, we are outlining a path for open-weight models to strengthen American competitiveness and expand economic opportunity, while protecting national security. microsoft.com/en-us/corporat…

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

As a founder, recognizing the #Al epicenter is crucial. The 50 mile radius around #SanFrancisco and #Shenzhen defines exponential speed and exposure. This disparity creates a massive education gap for teams and customers worldwide. It's our challenge and opportunity to decentralize that knowledge and bridge the gap.

SpaceX hit $3 trillion market cap today.
This means Elon Musk made more money in the last 24 hours than Warren Buffett made in his entire lifetime.
Insane.

Q: How are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite AI agents automating coding?
A: Because there’s far more code to manage than ever before. We’re already seeing a 14x YoY increase in GitHub commits, and it’s accelerating.
AI has dramatically lowered the cost of writing code, so it’s now being used across far more businesses, applications, and use cases.
We’re at the beginning of a massive productivity boom driven by the proliferation of bespoke software throughout the entire economy.
Coding has been AI’s breakout use case this year. The fact that it’s increased demand for software engineers — rather than decreased it — should call into question the entire “AI will cause mass job loss” narrative.
Ever notice how some managers turn “being kind” into a team-wide tax?
They see an underperformer struggling and instead of addressing it, they:
quietly take the work themselves, or
quietly dump the extra load onto the high performers who are already carrying the team.
Real kindness would be early, honest conversations and clear expectations — not protecting someone from reality at everyone else’s expense.
