Jensen Huang put the cost of running Nvidia's AI agent software at about $2,000 per GPU per year during a question and answer session at GTC Berlin on 22 October 2026. Nvidia's existing AI Enterprise platform lists at $4,500 per GPU for a year.
- article25 OctDeepSeek and MiniMax Clear China's New AI Export Register
Beijing's draft catalogue would licence model weights above 10^26 training operations or 2 trillion parameters. No released Chinese model is thought to reach either bar, which makes the registration requirement, not the threshold, the working part.
- article14 OctGoogle's Argon Tops One Benchmark League and Trails Another
Gemini 4 Argon went on general sale on 13 October 2026 at an introductory $2 and $10 per million tokens. That rate doubles on 1 December, and the two independent leaderboards that rank it disagree about where it sits.
