Former Intel CEO backs AI memory startup; UK invests £600M in AI defense

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is backing Nagare Labs, a startup aiming to overcome memory limitations with its Z2RAM technology, which promises SRAM-like bandwidth, DRAM-like density, and NAND-like manufacturing. Meanwhile, the UK is investing £600 million in AI for critical infrastructure defense, and Linus Torvalds believes AI-generated code is acceptable if it's good quality. Nvidia is also engaging with European partners by offering more open-weight models for agentic RAG workflows. AI

IMPACT AI development continues to push boundaries in memory technology and defense applications, while open-source communities grapple with its integration.
