Hello AiNews Readers!
Programming Note
This week, two tech heavyweights dominated the headlines — Nvidia and Sam Altman — each making bold moves in AI, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces. That’s why you’ll see two Nvidia stories and two Altman stories in today’s issue. From AI models that can reason about the physical world to brain chips that could one day merge humans and machines, these stories are too big to skip. Don’t worry, we’ll have new articles tomorrow.
I also owe you a recap of my time at Ai4, which was packed with insights, connections, and some wild tech demos. I got so excited to dive into today’s big stories that I ran out of time — so you’ll get the full Ai4 recap in tomorrow’s newsletter.
Thanks for your understanding and for being part of the AiNews community.

Today’s Headlines:
Nvidia Unveils Cosmos Reason, Omniverse Libraries, and AI Infrastructure for Robotics - Nvidia just unveiled a sweeping set of AI models, simulation libraries, and high-powered infrastructure aimed at advancing robotics and autonomous vehicles — and closing the gap between simulation and the real world. From delivery bots to factory automation, early adopters like Boston Dynamics and Amazon are already on board. This could be the moment robotics gets its “ChatGPT moment” — here’s why.
Nvidia, AMD to Pay 15% of China AI Chip Revenue to U.S. Under New Deal - In an unprecedented agreement, Nvidia and AMD will pay the U.S. government 15% of revenue from AI chips sold in China in exchange for export licenses. The deal opens a massive market — and stirs fresh debate about national security and tech competition. Here’s what’s in the deal, and why it matters.
Sam Altman Addresses GPT-5 Rollout Issues, Brings Back GPT-4o for Users - GPT-5’s debut was supposed to simplify ChatGPT. Instead, broken features, user backlash, and a hilariously botched chart presentation dominated the rollout. Now, OpenAI is backpedaling — restoring old models, tweaking personalities, and promising fixes. Here's what you need to know.
Sam Altman, OpenAI to Back Merge Labs in Brain-Computer Interface Rivalry with Neuralink - OpenAI’s Sam Altman is backing Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup aiming to take on Elon Musk’s Neuralink. The goal? “High-bandwidth” links between human minds and machines. It’s early days — but it could set up the next big AI rivalry.
Automate meeting prep with AI Agents
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Lindy’s new agent builder to create an AI agent that automatically researches companies 30 minutes before your meetings and drafts email summaries — by simply using your descriptions.
Step-by-step:
Go to Lindy AI and describe your desired meeting prep agent
Choose “extract company from event title” and “Gmail draft” for email destination
Customize the workflow by reviewing the Calendar, Search and Email sequence and replacing any integrations if needed
Test your agent with a sample meeting, then click “Deploy” to activate for all future calendar events
Pro tip: Start simple and gradually add more research sources or customize the email format as you refine your agent’s performance.
