In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at why AI models struggle with finance, a revolutionary superconducting discovery, Pac-Man and more.

Don’t let widespread enthusiasm for any one stock distract you from the most proven way to succeed as an investor.

The artificial intelligence giant Nvidia on Wednesday notched yet another historic milestone, becoming the first company to be worth $5 trillion. The value of Nvidia alone is now worth more than the GDP of every country on earth, except for the United States and China, according to World Bank data.

US chip giant Nvidia will supply more than 260,000 of its most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips to South Korea's government, as well as Samsung, LG, and Hyundai. The companies will all deploy AI chips in factories to make everything from robots to autonomous vehicles.

Researchers from Peking University say their resistive random-access memory chip may be capable of speeds 1,000 faster than the Nvidia H100 and AMD Vega 20 GPUs.

As a key driver of the AI boom, Nvidia's share price has skyrocketed in recent years, becoming the most valuable company in history.

The U.S. giant has struck a spate of deals with some of South Korea’s biggest companies that will see more than a quarter-million of its chips deployed across the country.

The move positions Nvidia’s AI inside the cockpit, enabling Joby to handle flight hardware and certification, while Nvidia provides the brains. Also, Nvidia could become the de facto AI standard for flying cars if the sector takes off.
