Google launched Gemini 4 Argon globally for developers and enterprises via the API in AI Studio and the Gemini platform, and for Google AI Ultra and Pro subscribers in the Gemini app, Antigravity and AI Mode. Google said Argon ranks #1 on the Vals Index and opens at an introductory $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. The post highlights uses across coding, cybersecurity, science and robotics.
NVIDIA has open-sourced its full Run:ai platform for Kubernetes-native AI workload and GPU orchestration, and Nebius, a launch partner, has made it available in Nebius AI Cloud Applications on its managed Kubernetes service. The release adds the UI, CLI, API, quota administration, access control and dashboards to the existing open source KAI Scheduler core. Nebius cites joint benchmarks in which a 0.5 GPU allocation kept 77% of full-GPU throughput.
NVIDIA highlighted how French companies are deploying agentic AI on its technology across space, finance, the public sector and science. Bull is extending European AI server production at its Angers factory to Vera Rubin Ultra NVL72 systems planned for 2028, and the Altair-1 satellite, the first in a $1 billion, 50-satellite constellation, runs Mistral models on NVIDIA Jetson modules in orbit. LINAGORA and Docaposte's Nemotron-based Twake.ai is now referenced for more than 2,500 French public organisations.
Ahead of RTX Spark laptops going on sale on Oct. 16, NVIDIA and partners are rolling out software updates for local AI agents, creative apps and developer tools on the platform, which offers up to 128GB of unified memory and 1 petaflop of AI compute. Updates include agent apps such as GitHub Copilot, Hermes and OpenClaw, and the Nemotron 3.5 Bolt 74B model due on Oct. 15. NVIDIA says Adobe's top apps will gain up to 2x performance.
Apple announced a new Apple TV 4K featuring Siri AI, a new version of Siri powered by the next generation of Apple Intelligence, with full-screen conversational search and three far-field microphones for hands-free control. Apple says the A19 chip inside delivers up to 50 percent faster CPU and up to 2x faster GPU performance than the previous generation. The device costs $299 (U.S.), with pre-orders open now and availability from November 13.
Apple has introduced HomeView, a home device with a 7-inch Liquid Retina display that combines entertainment, FaceTime and smart home control and is powered by Apple Intelligence with Siri AI. It recognises up to six people by their faces to show each one personalised content. HomeView and a wall-mounted model cost $299 (U.S.) each, with pre-orders open in markets including the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand and availability from November 13; it is not on sale in the EU.
