Nvidia announced GR00T N1, the world’s first open foundation model for humanoid robots

The power of general robot brain, in the palm of your hand - with only 2B parameters, N1 learns from the most diverse physical action dataset ever compiled and punches above its weight:

- Real humanoid teleoperation data.
- Large-scale simulation data: we are open-sourcing 300K+ trajectories
- Neural trajectories: SOTA video generation models to “hallucinate” new synthetic data that features accurate physics in pixels. Using Jensen’s words, “systematically infinite data”
- Latent actions: novel algorithms to extract action tokens from in-the-wild human videos and neural generated videos.

GR00T N1 is a single end-to-end neural net, from photons to actions:

- Vision-Language Model (System 2) that interprets the physical world through vision and language instructions, enabling robots to reason about their environment and instructions, and plan the right actions.
- Diffusion Transformer (System 1) that “renders” smooth and precise motor actions at 120 Hz, executing the latent plan made by System 2.

Also Nvidia introduced Newton, an open-source physics engine developed by NVIDIA and Google DeepMind, is designed to accelerate robot learning and development.

Built on NVIDIA Warp, which enables robots to learn how to handle complex tasks with greater precision, Newton is compatible with learning frameworks such as MuJoCo Playground or NVIDIA Isaac Lab—an open-source, unified framework for robot learning. 

Disney Research will be one of the first to use Newton to advance its robotic character platform.

Report by Dune and Artemis reveals key trends and metrics that continue to highlight the immense growth and evolving role of stablecoins

The total stablecoin supply has skyrocketed to $214 billion as of February 2025, with over $35 trillion in #transactions processed over the past year.

However, compared to traditional #fiat currencies, stablecoins still represent a fraction of the overall liquidity—around 100 times smaller than the US M1 money supply.

#Stablecoins have already surpassed major #payment networks like Visa and Mastercard in transfer volume, highlighting their growing importance in global finance.

Institutional adoption of stablecoins is growing, with asset managers, payment providers, and financial institutions integrating stablecoin solutions, driving cross-border payments and enhancing liquidity in #DeFi markets.

Stablecoin transaction volume saw an astonishing 115% year-on-year increase in 2024, from $1.9 trillion in February 2024 to $4.1 trillion by February 2025.

NVIDIA announced Isaac for Healthcare, the 3-computer solution for healthcare robotics, allowing simulation, training and deployment of AI solutions.

It extends and tailors Isaac Sim/Lab and Omniverse to enable multi-scale simulation from anatomy to sensors, surgical instruments, robotic systems, operating rooms, intensive care units, labs, sterile processing departments (SPD), and full hospital environments.

NVIDIA Isaac for Healthcare leverages Nvidia Holoscan for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and Sim2Real deployment of trained algorithms and policies.

NVIDIA and Synchron Unveil Chiral™: Pioneering the New Era of Cognitive AI Through Brain-Computer Interfaces

Synchron and NVIDIA have taken a step forward in the evolution of AI with the announcement of Chiral™ - a foundation model of human cognition that marks the emergence of Cognitive AI, trained
directly on human neural activity.

At GTC 2025, the companies demonstrated how their collaborative technology enables individuals with severe physical limitations to control their environment using only their thoughts.

The showcase featured Rodney, an ALS patient who, despite being unable to use his hands, successfully managed his digital home environment entirely hands-free, voice-free, and touch-free through Synchron's Stentrode™ technology and NVIDIA's AI computing platform.

The Three-Stage Roadmap to Cognitive AI:

1. Motor Inference Powered by NVIDIA Holoscan
- Real-time neural decoding with minimal latency
- Enhanced on-device edge computation
- Foundation for more advanced, high-dimensional interactions
2. Context-Aware Interaction with NVIDIA Cosmos
- Integration of environmental awareness
- Physics-bound, photorealistic simulations of domestic environments
- Higher-dimensional inference making interactions more predictive and intuitive
3. From Neural Data to Cognitive AI: Training Chiral™
- Leveraging 20 patient-years of Stentrode implant experience
- Creating a pre-trained brain model that abstracts human cognition
- Evolution into a self-improving, general-purpose Cognitive AI

Chip design software maker Synopsys unveiled an AI agent called AgentEngineer to help human engineers design semiconductors, acting as an assistant in the process, taking care of specific tasks in chip design, such as testing circuit designs.
