Nvidia Unveils Blackwell Ultra and Rubin AI Chips at GTC 2025.

Nvidia announced its latest AI chips at the GTC 2025 conference, introducing Blackwell Ultra and Rubin. Blackwell Ultra, an upgraded version of its existing Blackwell chips, increases token generation speed and efficiency for AI applications, allowing cloud providers to boost revenue.

The Rubin GPU family, set for 2026, includes Vera, Nvidia’s first custom CPU, doubling the speed of previous models. Rubin GPUs support 288GB of fast memory and scale up with a multi-GPU architecture. Future releases, including "Rubin Next" (2027) and Feynman chips (2028), will further enhance AI processing power.

Nvidia also introduced AI-focused PCs (DGX Spark & DGX Station) and networking upgrades. The company reassured investors about China's DeepSeek AI model, emphasizing that its new chips are optimized for reasoning-based AI models.

What is ChatGPT Connectors?

OpenAI is launching beta testing for ChatGPT Connectors, a feature that allows ChatGPT Team subscribers to integrate Google Drive and Slack with ChatGPT. This will enable the chatbot to access and respond to queries using internal company documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and Slack conversations.

Key Points:

• Expanding Access: OpenAI plans to extend Connectors to platforms like Microsoft SharePoint and Box in the future.

• Functionality: The feature is powered by a custom GPT-4o model, which searches and retrieves relevant internal information while maintaining file permissions and access controls.

• Security & Permissions: OpenAI emphasizes that Slack and Google Drive permissions are continuously respected, ensuring employees can only access content they are already authorized to view.

• Limitations:

  • ChatGPT Connectors cannot analyze images in documents.

  • It can only read (not analyze) data in Google Sheets and Excel.

  • It cannot access Slack DMs, group messages, or bot messages.

• Beta Requirements: Companies interested in joining the beta must submit 100 documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or Slack conversations.

• Data Privacy: OpenAI states that synced data won’t be used for training, though it may be used for synthetic data generation.

This move positions ChatGPT as a potential enterprise search tool, competing with platforms like Glean, while addressing business concerns about security and data privacy.

Google Adds Canvas & Audio Overview to Gemini.

Google has added Canvas to its Gemini chatbot, an interactive workspace for drafting, editing, and refining writing and code. Similar to OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s tools, Canvas enables users to adjust tone, length, and formatting, and export content to Google Docs. It also supports code preview for HTML, React, and web apps.

Additionally, Audio Overview—a feature from NotebookLM—now lets Gemini generate podcast-style audio summaries of documents and web pages, which can be downloaded or shared. Both features are free globally, though code preview is web-only, and Audio Overview is English-only for now.
