Welcome to the week as a review! We have tons of stories to share this week, like the greatest successes of Nvidia GTC; NASA astronauts finally returned home; The Rippling trial; And Google bought Wiz. Let’s go!
Google finally does it: Google has made its greatest acquisition in its history this week when he confirmed that he was buying Wiz for $ 32 billion. Google says it will position Wiz as a “multicloud” offer, which means that WIZ will not be a shop only on Google. Last year, Google offered $ 23 billion Wiz for its business. I suppose it is worth saying no sometimes.
Speaking of acquisitions: XAI, Elon Musk’s IA company, bought Hotshot, a startup working on video generation tools powered by AI. The acquisition could point out that XAI plans to build its own video generation models to compete with the Sora of Openai, VEO 2 of Google and others.
NVIDIA GTC: The biggest conference of the year of Nvidia ended on Thursday, and we were on the ground bringing you the last of the flea manufacturer. The company has announced two Personal IA supervisors; Groot N1, a fundamental model for humanoid robots; New GPUs, called Blackwell Ultra, Vera Rubin and Feynman; And much more.

New Nuveaute des Pixels: Google has published a new pixel this week, called 9a. The $ 499 smartphone has an improved news display of 6.3 inch, which, according to Google, is 35% brighter than the 8A Pixel. But the real update here is the design: it abandons its camera bar at the back.

Neat! A 12th year student built a website called Minecraft Banc (MC-Bench) which offers two ais against each other to see which builds better creations in Minecraft. Mc-Bench is technically a programming reference, because the models are invited to write code to create the guest version.
In fact, super useful: Google changes the way you find emails in your reception box. Rather than displaying everything chronologically, he will now use AI to take into account factors such as recence, the most clicked emails and frequent contacts when putting on e-mails according to your research request. A rocking will allow people to switch between “most relevant” or “most recent” emails on a search results page.
Humanoids at home: The media threshing around humanoid robots for the house seems to have reached new heights. Norwegian Robotics Company 1x capitalizes on this, announcing that it will test its humanoid robot, Neo Gamma, in “A few hundred to a few thousand” by the end of the year.
