Nvidia GTC 2025 – Built for Reasoning, Vera Rubin, Kyber, Jensen Math, Feynman (semianalysis.com)
AI model progress has accelerated tremendously, and in the last six months, models have improved more than in the previous six months. This trend will continue because three scaling laws are stacked together and working in tandem: pre-training scaling, post-training scaling, and inference time scaling.

Nvidia emulation journey, part 1: RIVA 128/NV3 architecture history and overview (86box.net)
Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of guest posts by starfrost013 going over the architecture of NVIDIA’s first commercially-successful product, and the ongoing effort to get it emulated on 86Box. It gets more technical than all our previous posts, but there is little detailed information out there on this chip that helped launch NVIDIA into success, so we’ve decided to publish this saga here.
