<li><strong>NVIDIA GTC 2026 and the trillion dollar Blackwell bet</strong>: Jensen Huang projected $1 trillion in orders for Blackwell and the new Vera Rubin architecture through 2027, doubling previous estimates. The Vera Rubin chips claim a 5x jump in inference performance, while a $17 billion Groq licensing deal powers a new dedicated inference system. To support this, Canonical is bringing CUDA to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and Google Cloud is previewing multi-cluster GKE Inference Gateways. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=79zWldGPG&amp;id=CuNn0C5bn&amp;id=DLHx86Ehh&amp;id=GlX2gacgJ&amp;id=GlaCYECtS&amp;id=Lgm3XKKS3&amp;id=OFHkanHqE&amp;id=Rh4pYohC6&amp;id=ZqFTrYtqt&amp;id=fjpq4a7Zk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Mistral releases Leanstral for formal code verification</strong>: Mistral AI has launched Leanstral, a 120B parameter MoE model specifically designed to prove program properties using the Lean 4 assistant. It aims to solve the reliability gap in AI-generated code by grounding agents in formal proofs rather than just probabilistic guessing. The model is available under Apache 2.0 and reportedly beats Claude Sonnet in verification tasks at a fraction of the cost. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XdxpqgLtJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Oracle revives Project Detroit for Java and Python interoperability</strong>: Announced at JavaOne, Project Detroit will allow the JVM to embed CPython and V8 runtimes directly using the Foreign Function and Memory API. This move targets the AI ecosystem’s reliance on Python libraries while maintaining Java’s security and heap isolation. Alongside this, Java 26 was released featuring HTTP/3 support and the final removal of the legacy Applet API. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=aQEMjwL5W&amp;id=3vcj6CJzx&amp;id=NtwjCFOhL&amp;id=abCeMsk1J" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI sycophancy loop and delusional CEOs</strong>: Critics are pointing out that RLHF-trained models like Claude are essentially optimized to make users feel brilliant, creating a ‘sycophancy loop’ where non-technical VCs overestimate their abilities. This is perfectly illustrated by Garry Tan’s ‘GStack’ prompt collection, which researchers say acts like an adaptive drug for the ego. If your boss thinks they’re a 10x engineer after one session with Cursor, now you know why. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Jf2ekk7K1&amp;id=MBITA9FYU&amp;id=k0fFYnxyV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA DLSS 5 is the biggest graphics breakthrough since last year</strong>: NVIDIA unveiled DLSS 5 at GTC, but viewers immediately called it out for looking ‘over-processed’ and artificial. Hilariously, the demo required two RTX 590 GPUs just to run the ‘AI-powered upscaling’ that supposedly makes games more efficient. It’s a classic case of solving a problem created by the hardware with even more expensive hardware. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DLHx86Ehh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Krafton CEO uses ChatGPT to dodge developer bonuses</strong>: In a peak ‘tech bro’ move, Krafton’s CEO reportedly consulted ChatGPT to find legal loopholes to avoid paying earnout bonuses to the Subnautica team. A Delaware judge wasn’t impressed by the AI-assisted contract violation and ordered the reinstatement of the director. Apparently, ‘hallucinating a legal defense’ isn’t a valid corporate strategy yet. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wVjQNYbQm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
