NVIDIA’s $100B investment in OpenAI
OpenAI and NVIDIA announced a letter of intent to deploy at least 10 gigawatts of NVIDIA systems to power OpenAI’s next-generation infrastructure. NVIDIA states it intends to invest up to $100B in OpenAI progressively as each gigawatt is deployed. The first 1 GW is targeted for the second half of 2026. NVIDIA will serve as a preferred strategic compute and networking partner as OpenAI scales its “AI factory” footprint, alongside a wider collaborator network (e.g., Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank, Stargate).
Why It Matters to C-Suite executives: Structure your own AI scale-up as a multi-party alliance with clear milestones, joint steering, and portability checkpoints so suppliers have skin in the game and you keep leverage as needs evolve.
Figure’s “Project Go-Big”
Figure introduced Project Go-Big to build an internet-scale humanoid pretraining dataset and reported zero-shot human video-to-robot transfer for navigation: after training exclusively on egocentric human video. Helix can follow natural-language commands, such as “go to the fridge,” and navigate cluttered spaces without requiring robot demonstrations. A new partnership with Brookfield leverages a real-world asset base cited at 100K+ residential units, 500M sq. ft. of office, and 160M sq. ft. of logistics to expand environmental diversity for data collection.
Why It Matters to C-Suite executives: According to the announcement, this represents the first time a humanoid robot has learned end-to-end navigation using only human video data, requiring no robot-specific demonstrations. For enterprise applications, this suggests significant reductions in training costs and deployment timelines for robotic automation systems.
Chrome rolls out Gemini
Google detailed 10 AI updates to Chrome. Gemini in Chrome is rolling out to Mac and Windows users in the U.S., with Workspace availability for businesses in the coming weeks. Google previewed agentic capabilities, such as routine task handling like bookings, introduced AI Mode access from the omnibox, multi-tab reasoning and recall, deeper integrations with Calendar/YouTube/Maps, and security features such as expanded Gemini Nano scam detection and reductions in unwanted notifications.
Why It Matters to C-Suite executives: The enterprise integration provides senior leaders with AI-powered workflow automation while maintaining data governance standards. The quantified reduction in notification spam demonstrates measurable improvements in user experience and operational efficiency.

Featured Tool: Luma AI’s Ray3
Ray3 is a reasoning video model built to plan, evaluate, and refine scenes as it generates them, then deliver production-ready output. It supports true 10/12/16-bit HDR and includes a Draft Mode for faster exploration. Ray3 is available in Luma’s Dream Machine, with Adobe Firefly as the first external launch partner, positioning it for real creative and review pipelines, not just experiments.
How It Advances Your Strategy
- Accelerates creative workflow iteration through Draft Mode, producing test videos up to 10 times faster than traditional methods
- Enables professional-grade video production with native HDR generation and 4K upscaling capabilities for broadcast and studio requirements
