NVIDIA DGX Spark Revolutionizes AI Computing with Elon Musk Endorsement

Elon Musk confirms NVIDIA’s DGX Spark provides 100X more compute efficiency than the original DGX-1 AI computer. The breakthrough technology arrives as companies like Dexory secure massive funding for autonomous warehouse robotics powered by advanced AI systems.

Elon Musk has revealed that NVIDIA’s new DGX Spark delivers approximately 100 times more compute power per watt than the original DGX-1 system he received from Jensen Huang at OpenAI in 2016. This breakthrough in AI computing efficiency comes at a critical moment for companies developing autonomous systems and physical AI applications, including London-based Dexory which recently secured $165 million in Series C funding following an $80 million Series B round earlier this year for its warehouse robotics platform.

Oura Smart Ring Strategy: Winning Young Women While Losing Gym Rats

Oura’s chief commercial officer reveals the company’s fastest-growing user segment is women in their early twenties, not tech billionaires. While losing some gym-focused users to competitors like Whoop, Oura maintains 80% market share with strong retention rates.

Oura’s smart ring strategy is deliberately targeting young women and corporate professionals while accepting some loss of fitness-focused male users to competitors. According to Dorothy Kilroy, Oura’s chief commercial officer, the company’s fastest-growing demographic isn’t tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg or wellness-obsessed executives, but rather women in their early twenties who are embracing the health tracking technology. This demographic shift comes as the wearables market fragments across different user groups and use cases.
