Some dangerous biology looks much like legitimate research, complicating AI safeguards.
NVIDIA is using Palantir Foundry and cuOpt to automate its hardware supply chain allocation decisions across global manufacturing sites. The company measures operational delivery from wafer-out to first token. This window splits into time-to-rack (the transit from fab output to an assembled data centre system) and time-to-token (which covers power, cooling, networking, and day-one software […] The post Palantir Foundry and cuOpt drive NVIDIA supply chain allocation appeared first on AI New

Supply chain disruption cost businesses about $184 billion in 2025, according to the J.S. Held Global Risk Report, and most of that bill still buys faster detection, not faster action. That figure is usually treated as weather (i.e. storms happen, costs follow.) Treated as a product specification instead, it highlights an operating model that can […] The post Supply chains detect fast, act slow: How AI agents fix it appeared first on AI News.
