Nvidia (NVDA) Opens NVLink Fusion to Outside Chips in AI Push
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) is loosening its grip. At Computex 2025, the chipmaker launched NVLink Fusion, a new effort to let outside CPUs and ASICs work with its GPUspart of a broader bid to remain indispensable in AI infrastructure, even when competitors build the rest.
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA.
NVLink used to be Nvidia-only. Not anymore. Fusion cracks open the ecosystem, making room for third-party processors to plug into Nvidia's platform. Early partners include MediaTek, Marvell Technology (MRVL, Financials), Synopsys (SNPS, Financials), Cadence Design Systems (CDNS, Financials), and Alchip. Customers like Qualcomm (QCOM, Financials) now have more room to mix and match.
That flexibility matters. Nvidia already dominates general-purpose AI chips, but rivals like Amazon and Google are pouring money into custom silicon. Analysts say Fusion helps Nvidia stay in the roomeven if it doesn't own all the furniture.
There's a tradeoff. Fusion could reduce demand for Nvidia's own CPUs, but makes its GPUs harder to replace in hybrid systems.
Broadcom (AVGO, Financials), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD, Financials), and Intel (INTC, Financials) are not part of this first wave.
Nvidia also introduced DGX Cloud Lepton, a kind of GPU marketplace to help AI developers find cloud horsepower. And it teased the GB300, its next Grace Blackwell system, coming in Q3 2025.
The company is also going bigger in Taiwan, opening a new office and working with Foxconn on a local AI supercomputer.
If Fusion catches on, Nvidia could tighten its hold on the AI data centerone link at a time.

Major updates in Live Translation: feature works without iPhone, API support for developers
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on June 9, 2025, 23:07 IST Apple has announced a significant leap in real-time language support with the introduction of Live Translation in iOS 26 — and the big news is: it works even when the other person doesn't have an iPhone. Apple WWDC 2025 live: Live Translation breaks the iPhone-only barrier With Live Translation, users can now have real-time conversations across languages, even when the other person is using a non-Apple device. This update removes a long-standing limitation, making the feature more inclusive and globally useful. The tool uses on-device intelligence and works seamlessly with AirPods, allowing users to listen and understand foreign languages on the go — from travel to casual conversations. Apple WWDC 2025 live: API support opens door for developers Apple also introduced a new Live Translation API, allowing third-party developers to integrate translation features into their apps. This gives travel, education, customer service, and messaging apps access to Apple's real-time translation engine with privacy and performance benefits of on-device processing. This is part of Apple's broader push under Apple Intelligence to expand its language and accessibility tools across the entire ecosystem.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Says AI Lets Anyone Write Code
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says that you don't have to be an expert programmer to prompt AI to write a program for you, making AI the "great equalizer" when it comes to bringing ideas to life with code. In remarks on stage at London Tech Week on Monday, Huang said that the barrier to code used to be high. Programmers had to learn specific languages and figure out how to architect code efficiently. Related: Want to Get Hired at Nvidia? This Is the Most Important Part of the Interview Process, According to CEO Jensen Huang Now, Huang said that AI enables even non-programmers to write code using natural language. AI coding assistants like Cursor and Replit can easily take a written prompt in plain English and turn it into code. The practice of relying on these AI assistants to write a complete program is known as "vibe coding" — and even Google CEO Sundar Pichai admitted last week to "vibe coding" a webpage. "Now, all of a sudden… there's a new programming language," Huang said at London Tech Week, per CNBC. "This new programming language is called 'human.'" Huang noted that while relatively few people know how to work with programming languages like C++ or Python, "everybody… knows 'human'." The way to ask a computer to write a program is to "just ask it nicely," as you would a person, Huang said. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang at London Tech Week. Photo byAI users are already following Huang's advice. ChatGPT users are saying "please" and "thank you" to the AI chatbot, treating it as politely as they would a person. The practice has a downside, though: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has lost tens of millions of dollars in added electricity costs to process the politeness interactions. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called it "tens of millions of dollars well spent."

Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for The New York Times, wrote in February that he was able to vibe code a new app called LunchBox Buddy to help him figure out what he should pack his son for lunch based on a picture of his fridge. Harvard University neuroscience student, Rishab Jain, told NBC News last month that he vibe-coded an app to translate ancient texts into English. Nvidia is the second most valuable company in the world at the time of writing, with a market capitalization of $3.48 trillion. The AI chipmaker's stock has grown by nearly 1,500% in the past five years and over 17% this year.
