- Developing and Evaluating Deep Learning Approaches for Visual Field Denoising in Glaucoma
Purpose To investigate the relative efficacy of nine distinct visual field (VF) denoising artificial intelligence (AI) methods and a pathology-aware AI strategy to discourage over-correction of glaucomatous defects. Design Retrospective study. Participants 87,940 paired visual field (VF) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) samples from a tertiary academic center. Methods Denoising models were trained on a separate VF-only dataset and evaluated on an independent structure-function dataset of paired VF-OCT samples. We implemented and evaluated nine distinct VF denoising strategies representing three broad categories: baseline measurements, self-supervised and image restoration models (including Noise2Noise, Noise2Void, and NAFNet), and latent variable compression-based models (autoencoders and variational autoencoders). All models were designed to reconstruct VF sensitivity maps. We then predicted retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) maps from the denoised VFs using a fixed, independently trained VF-to-RNFLT prediction model. Main Outcome Measures Predicted VF and RNFLT maps and resultant evaluation metrics. Results The raw VF baseline achieved a global R2 of 0.5468 and MAE of 16.83 um. Restoration-based models maintained or slightly improved concordance, with the pathology-aware NAFNet achieving the highest global R2 of 0.5485 and a comparable MAE of 16.82 um. In contrast, compression-based models degraded concordance, with CNN-VAE showing a significant reduction (R2 approximately 0.50). In severe glaucoma, concordance decreased across all methods; however, compression architectures exhibited disproportionately greater degradation compared with restoration-based approaches. Conclusions We present a comparative benchmark of AI-based VF denoising strategies paired with structure-function evaluation. While restoration-based models can reduce variability without loss of biological signal, latent compression risks attenuating clinically meaningful defects. Visually smoother fields are not necessarily more biologically accurate.

- Alphabet seeks $80 billion to fund AI buildout
Alphabet said Monday it plans to raise up to $80 billion in equity to help fund its AI ambitions, which includes a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway via a private deal. Why it matters: One of the world's biggest companies, which has had historically high cash flow, is seeking more cash to keep up in the AI race. Driving the news: Alphabet said the proceeds will support "capital expenditures to scale AI infrastructure and global compute" amid "unprecedented customer demand." The financing includes: $30 billion in underwritten public offerings, split between mandatory convertible preferred stock and common stock. $40 billion through an at-the-market stock offering program expected to begin in Q3. $10 billion from Berkshire Hathaway via a private deal, adding to a stake the company has been building since Q3 2025. Zoom out: This comes after Alphabet has already sought out additional funds by issuing corporate debt, becoming the first company in modern history to issue a 100-year bond . Alphabet and the four other major hyperscalers are set to spend over $750 billion this year, which could expand to $4 trillion by 2030 according to Morgan Stanley . The bottom line: The Big Tech companies have to invest in AI for fear that it will replace them. The bet is an expensive one, but as Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said himself: "The risk of under-investing is dramatically greater than the risk of over-investing."

- Nvidia stacks up agentic AI infrastructure
Nvidia has unveiled a broad software and infrastructure stack aimed at helping enterprises move AI agents from experimentation into production, introducing an open-source toolkit, a secure runtime environment, and a new processor architecture designed specifically for agentic AI workloads. CEO Jensen Huang announced the new products on Monday during a keynote speech at GTC Taipei at Computex, targeting enterprises looking beyond generative AI assistants toward autonomous agents capable of executing tasks, accessing enterprise systems, and interacting with business workflows with limited human oversight. The centerpiece of the stack is Nvidia Agent Toolkit, a collection of software components that combines Nemotron AI models, agent-development blueprints, CUDA-accelerated libraries, and a new secure runtime called OpenShell. Nvidia said companies including Cadence, Siemens, Dassault Systèmes, CrowdStrike, Palantir, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Canonical are already integrating parts of the stack into products and enterprise platforms. OpenShell may be the most significant element for enterprise technology leaders: It places governance and security controls beneath the agent layer rather than inside the model or orchestration framework itself. The runtime enforces access policies across filesystems, networks, and processes, while also providing sandboxed execution and privacy controls for AI workloads. This architectural approach reflects a broader shift occurring across the enterprise AI market as organizations grapple with how to secure agents that can access applications, invoke tools, and perform actions autonomously. Yugal Joshi, partner at Everest Group, said “Most of the runtime controls were at the agent process level. Nvidia is going a level below, making it more embedded and harder to escape.” The industry has spent much of the past year attempting to scale AI agents through orchestration and governance layers, Joshi said, but Nvidia is now “pushing for building agent-native infrastructure layer and control planes rather than repurposing existing layers, which has been happening for quite a while.” Agentic infrastructure Alongside the toolkit, Nvidia introduced Vera CPU as a standalone product. The chip is already part of the Vera Rubin CPU-GPU double act, but Nvidia is now positioning Vera as a standalone CPU for agentic AI, reinforcement learning, and data-processing workloads. The company said Vera completes up to 1.8 times more tasks per second than x86 processors operating within the same power envelope and is being evaluated by organizations including Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, ByteDance, CoreWeave, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Taken together, the launches position Nvidia as a supplier not only of AI models and accelerators, but also of the runtime, security, orchestration, and processor infrastructure it believes enterprises will need to support long-running autonomous AI systems. Early deployments “AI agents will use more tools than ever before,” Huang said during the keynote, arguing that agentic AI will drive a new generation of software and computing infrastructure. Huang said Nvidia is working with companies including Cadence, Crowdstrike, Dassault, Palantir, SAP, and ServiceNow to build AI agents for semiconductor design, engineering simulation, and software and industrial workflows. Nvidia said it is already using Cadence’s ChipStack autonomous verification agent internally, reducing chip verification cycles by more than 40 times compared with manual processes. CrowdStrike is deploying Nemotron models in security operations, while Palantir is integrating them into its Forward Deployed Engineer platform to automate complex tasks inside air-gapped enterprise environments. According to Joshi, the concentration of early adopters in engineering, manufacturing, and cybersecurity reflects where enterprises are currently most comfortable deploying autonomous systems. The partner mix points toward industries “with structured workflows that have significant data availability and existing visible pain points,” he said, rather than heavily regulated sectors such as financial services or healthcare, where governance requirements remain more complex. Building an agentic enterprise stack Alongside the toolkit, Nvidia introduced Nemotron 3 Ultra, a 550-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts model designed for coding, research, and enterprise workloads. The company said the model has been optimized for agent frameworks including LangChain Deep Agents, OpenClaw, OpenHands, and OpenCode. Microsoft, Red Hat, and Canonical are also integrating OpenShell into Windows, Red Hat AI, and Ubuntu environments, extending the runtime beyond Nvidia’s own infrastructure. SAP and ServiceNow had previously incorporated OpenShell into their enterprise AI initiatives. For CIOs, the significance extends beyond another model launch. Nvidia is arguing that enterprise AI agents will require their own stack spanning models, runtime controls, governance, observability and compute infrastructure. Whether enterprises embrace that approach remains to be seen. Additional security and control layers can introduce complexity, latency, and potential vendor dependencies. But Joshi said the market “appears to be converging toward a common architecture when it comes to scaling AI agents across control, security, runtime, and observability.”
- Intel stakes new claim in physical AI with robotics chips
Intel is invading the physical AI space with a reentry into the robotics market it quit many years ago amid financial struggles. The robotics strategy is part of the company’s larger plan to establish AI on the “edge,” in which devices have the computing capability to run AI locally. Many devices lack AI capabilities and have to offload processing to the cloud. The chipmaker said its Intel Series 3 processors are now in 130 edge AI and robotics designs. It also had a design win with SensoryAI , which provides technology for robots that include Ella, a robotic barista made by Crown Digital. The company’s Core Ultra Series 3 processors are derivatives of chip designs intended for laptops. But Intel has achieved a level of power efficiency for long battery life that allows those chips to be adapted for handheld devices and laptops. Intel also said it can build advanced robotics chips thanks to its latest manufacturing technologies. For example, many robotic functions, such as computer vision and real-time controls, can be integrated into a single chip. Previously, functions like graphics and movement and control were distributed among different cores in a chip. SensoryAI, for example, has a chip architecture that provides the robotic barista — which is more like a robotic arm — with AI capabilities, Intel said. The main “Avatar” agent handles customers as the main “Ella” agent reasons and executes the task. If Ella encounters errors, it passes on the issue to a Guardian agent, which helps with the recovery. Some issues could include making sense of an order, or cups that might be stuck. The three agents are embedded in a single piece of Core Ultra Series 3 silicon. Intel is displaying some of those robots at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. The company shared a video of a humanoid-style robot from the floor in a X.com post This is not Intel’s first attempt at the robotics market. Intel sold robotics chips and kits when it was a dominant chip player in the field, but curtailed efforts in 2021 after Pat Gelsinger took over as CEO and restructured the company to focus on manufacturing. Robotics is now back on the menu under new Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who replaced Gelsinger last year. He has restructured to company to focus on high-growth areas that can generate high returns. A Morgan Stanley study last year indicated the robotics market could be worth $5 trillion by 2050 — and more than 1 billion humanoid robots could be in operation. Robots are seen to improve human productivity and manufacturing output . For example, they could help factories that are facing labor shortages or be used to complete tasks that are dangerous . However, challenges remain. There isn’t yet enough real-world data to train robots to do targeted work. And the AI models — generally called world models — they will need are still under development. Training robots to do a specific job requires a sequence of events to happen in succession without any errors. Companies are still training robots to spot and understand errors, analyze possible resolutions, and take the right corrective action.
