The short versionJensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO with no reason given, and Anthropic told IPO buyers its Mythos model got Claude running on AMD chips in three days.Full rundown

Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia. The board announced on November 12 that he'd resigned as president and chief executive, and from the board too, effective immediately. Colette Kress, the CFO, is interim CEO while the board looks for a permanent one. The release doesn't say why he left, and it doesn't mention the board's own investigation or Congress.

Anthropic's IPO roadshow video has a chapter on compute, and in it the company says its Mythos model got Claude running on AMD's chips in three days. Anthropic says that job used to take dozens of engineers months.

Google DeepMind announced Gemini 4 Hydrogen, and Google put it into Search the same day. OpenAI committed $2 million to research on AI and children's safety.
