Product updates NVIDIA
NVIDIA released NVIDIA Recovery, an open-source workload-level service within its DSX OS portfolio that automates recovery across a cluster's training jobs. It detects interruptions via application logs, GPU metrics and scheduler signals, attributes failures, isolates implicated nodes and restarts workloads from checkpoints. A Slurm integration ships as a Helm-deployable Advisor Controller, and new deployments default to monitor mode. NVIDIA reports roughly 8,550 anomaly detections over a three-month production monitoring period.
Product updates Anthropic
According to IT Home, Anthropic disclosed that as of Sept. 30, 2026, customers spending at least $100,000 a year exceeded 11,900, up from about 950 a year earlier, while net revenue retention reached roughly 900%.
