Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for NVIDIA for the week ending July 24, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Gemini 3.1 Flash Image Preview.
Category cover image prompt:
A single giant glossy green GPU chip hovering like a descending mothership against a deep cosmic purple-black sky, trailing swirling rainbow ribbons of light from its heatsink fins with starbursts and chrome sparkles around it, the word NVIDIA arcing above in huge fat 1970s bubble letters with chrome fill and stacked magenta, orange, and turquoise drop shadows, Afrofuturist psychedelic funk poster style, one bold central subject with generous negative space.
This Week in NVIDIA News
Here’s a quick AI-generated summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5, based on the headlines and excerpts accompanying this week’s links:
- Cosmos 3 expands: NVIDIA released Cosmos 3 Edge, which watches video streams and reasons about the physics in them, aimed at edge devices. It also touted 4-step Cosmos 3 Super models that it says generate images and video up to 25x faster than the originals and rank #1 for image-to-video and #2 for text-to-image among open-weight models on Artificial Analysis.
- Open models run on NVIDIA hardware: Laguna S 2.1, announced by Eiso Kant, has 118B total parameters with 8B active per token and is small enough to run on a single NVIDIA DGX Spark. Separately, Artificial Analysis ranked Nemotron 3 Ultra ahead of Thinking Machines Lab's Inkling on its new AA-Briefcase benchmark.
- Rivals target CUDA's grip: Alibaba open-sourced its AI chip software stack at WAIC, framed as an alternative to Nvidia's CUDA lock-in. Meanwhile CNBC reported that Microsoft signed on to AMD's Helios rack-scale AI system, which rivals Nvidia's.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.
