Show Notes
Nvidia says its GPUs remain “a generation ahead” despite reports Meta may use Google’s chips in its data centers. The company points to superior flexibility and performance versus ASICs like TPUs and still controls more than 90% of the AI chip market, though Google’s TPUs have drawn attention following Gemini 3’s launch. Nvidia notes that Gemini itself runs on its hardware.

Voluntary scanning remains an option, and an EU Centre on Child Sexual Abuse would be created.
