NVIDIA Invests $3B in Lancium; Musk Targets EUV Light Sources

NVIDIA commits $3B to Lancium for power infrastructure. Musk focuses on FEL tech for EUV sources. Meta launches lightweight AI model Muse Glimmer.

Woofun AI reports that NVIDIA intends to invest up to $3 billion in power infrastructure firm Lancium to mitigate power shortages and support the deployment of its next-generation Vera Rubin architecture. Elon Musk is directing attention toward EUV light sources in chip manufacturing, expressing a clear preference for Free Electron Laser (FEL) technology, which could theoretically lower advanced chip production costs despite being in early research stages.

Meta Platforms has launched Muse Glimmer, a 30-billion-parameter lightweight AI model capable of running on a single graphics card for local deployment or customization.

Meanwhile, TSMC and Sony plan to jointly invest approximately 1 trillion yen in next-generation image sensor chips, with commercialization potentially starting as early as 2029.
