Enterprises put non-Nvidia chips 14 points ahead of Nvidia's next-gen GPUs on their evaluation lists
When enterprise buyers build out their next AI accelerator evaluation list this cycle, they re more likely to put a non-Nvidia chip on it than Nvidia s own next-generation GPU. According to VentureBeat s July VB Pulse survey of 170 AI infrastructure respondents, 39.4% said they re likely to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators — AWS Trainium, Google TPU, AMD Instinct, Intel Gaudi or in-house ASICs — over the next 12 months, compared with 25.3% for Nvidia Blackwell (GB300) or other next-generation Nvidia GPUs, a 14-point gap.Nvidia remains the default in most production environments. But organizations are building real optionality into their accelerator strategy rather than treating Nvidia as the only evaluation worth doing.The finding sits inside a broader pattern: enterprises are expanding and optimizing the AI infrastructure they already operate before making another major platform change. Greater infrastructure activity did not produce greater urgency to switch platforms. The share of r

Google says its new Gemini 3.8 Flash model ‘works harder’ but might cost more
Google launched Gemini 3.8 Flash, arriving just a few weeks after its predecessor. The company claims the new model "works harder" than Gemini 3.7 Flash by performing more reasoning steps on complex tasks and "calling tools iteratively." It has the same introductory pricing as 3.7 Flash, $0.75 per million input tokens and $3.75 per million output tokens, but could still end up costing users more. Google warns that "the model might use more tokens to maximize performance, especially at higher effort levels." Developers can keep using Gemini 3.7 Flash if they want to minimize token usage. Gemini 3.8 Flash's launch was followed by some early … Read the full story at The Verge.

The popular password manager is now a "distinguished corporate patron" of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.
