NVIDIA's physical AI push accelerated on two fronts today, as Skild AI revealed robots can now learn new tasks from a single video while the company's robotaxi partners scale toward a projected $400 billion market by 2035. Meanwhile, OpenAI unleashed a wave of enterprise and government offerings — from an Agents API to a dedicated financial services product — signaling that agentic AI is moving from demo to deployment. Not to be outdone, d-Matrix joined the NVLink Fusion ecosystem, and GeForce NOW added nine new titles including the early-access launch of WARDOGS.
- Skild AI Taps NVIDIA Physical AI to Teach Robots New Tasks From a Single Video — Skild AI is leveraging NVIDIA's physical AI stack to enable robots to learn new tasks from just one video demonstration. The breakthrough addresses a persistent pain point in manufacturing floors, warehouses, and production lines, where tasks change, layouts shift, and new products arrive faster than most robots can be reprogrammed. This capability could dramatically reduce downtime and reprogramming costs across industrial deployments.
- Physical AI Takes the Wheel: How the World's Robotaxi Leaders Are Building With NVIDIA Technologies — The global robotaxi market is projected to reach $400 billion by 2035, with over 6 million commercial vehicles expected in operation. Driverless fleets are already moving passengers through some of the world's busiest and most complex streets, powered by NVIDIA's full-stack open platform. The milestone marks physical AI's first major commercial breakthrough.
- d-Matrix Adopts NVIDIA NVLink Fusion for Rack-Scale XPU Deployment — AI inference chipmaker d-Matrix announced it will use NVLink Fusion to connect its next-generation Raptor XPUs to NVIDIA's AI infrastructure platform. The move makes d-Matrix the latest partner building on NVIDIA's growing AI ecosystem. It signals continued momentum for rack-scale, heterogeneous AI compute architectures.
- Boots on the Ground: 'WARDOGS' Goes All Out on GeForce NOW at Early-Access Launch — WARDOGS launched into early access on GeForce NOW this week, joined by the Valheim 1.0 Deep North update and Bus Simulator 27. Nine new titles total are joining the cloud gaming service. The releases highlight how cloud streaming can handle demanding PC hardware requirements without local upgrades.
- 3 ways to prep for your next big race with Search — Google outlined three ways Search and Gemini can help runners prepare for their next big race. The tips leverage AI-powered search features to support training planning and race-day readiness. It's part of Google's broader push to embed Gemini across its core products.
- How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules — César de la Fuente's lab is using Codex and ChatGPT to search living and extinct genomes for antimicrobial candidates. The research targets drug-resistant infections, one of the most pressing global health threats. It showcases AI's growing role in accelerating scientific discovery.
- Now everyone can put data to work — OpenAI introduced a Data agent in ChatGPT Work that connects company data, uncovers insights, and builds interactive dashboards using natural language. The tool aims to democratize data analysis beyond technical teams. It marks another step in OpenAI's enterprise productivity push.
- Introducing ChatGPT for Financial Services — OpenAI launched ChatGPT for Financial Services, combining built-in financial data with GPT-6 Astra for research, modeling, and client-ready materials. The vertical-specific offering targets banks, investment firms, and financial advisors. It reflects OpenAI's strategy of tailoring AI to regulated, high-stakes industries.
- Expanding AI access and cyber defense for federal, state, local, and tribal governments — OpenAI and the GSA will offer eligible federal, state, local, and tribal governments $0 license fees, 50% off usage, and expanded cyber defense support. The partnership aims to broaden public-sector AI adoption while strengthening security. It represents one of OpenAI's most significant government-facing initiatives to date.
- Introducing the Agents API — OpenAI launched the Agents API, a managed service powered by the Codex harness for orchestration, long-running sessions, and tool use. Developers can now build and launch cloud agents without managing underlying infrastructure. The release positions OpenAI squarely in the fast-growing agentic AI platform race.
Editor's take — NVIDIA is quietly turning NVLink Fusion into the industry's default interconnect for anyone who wants rack-scale compute without buying a full NVIDIA stack — d-Matrix is the tell, and it means the moat is shifting from chips to the fabric that stitches them together. For developers, the practical consequence is that heterogeneous accelerators become viable targets, so portability layers and hardware-agnostic inference stacks are worth the investment now rather than after your vendor locks you in
