Nvidia just admitted the general-purpose GPU era is ending. Nvidia has agreed to pay US$20 billion to license Groq’s tensor-streaming processor technology, allocating roughly one-third of its reported US$60 billion cash reserves. The pact indicates Nvidia will supplement its general-purpose GPUs with specialized inference silicon, responding to pressure from hyperscalers and rivals as its current share of the AI accelerator market stands near 92 %.

Anti-Aging Injection Regrows Knee Cartilage and Prevents Arthritis. Stanford Medicine reports that blocking an age-linked protein with a single joint injection regenerated knee cartilage in aged and injured mice, preventing osteoarthritis without stem cells. The approach reprograms resident cells, suggesting a minimally invasive therapy for degenerative joint disease.
