NVIDIA and partners expand physical and agentic AI services for cities

On November 3, 2026, NVIDIA announced that it is expanding physical AI and agentic services for cities globally with partners, covering resident assistance, traffic management, urban planning, and industrial operations, while allowing local governments to retain control over the processing and use of sensitive data. The portfolio is built on shared computing infrastructure, AI agents, and digital twins, and city teams can start with NVIDIA RTX workstations or small GPU systems. The report mentioned that ITMAX's SamurAI V2 visual agent is planned to support more than 17,000 camera feeds by 2027, and TeraSim-based signal timing testing reduced corridor travel time during peak hours by up to 26%. On November 4, LiveX AI released the AI City life-size AI virtual human guide kiosk, which has already been deployed at more than 100 sites; the platform runs on Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and builds visual AI agents based on the Metropolis VSS Blueprint and Cosmos. On the same day, Linker Vision released the Linker AI Nexa platform at the 2026 Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, integrating 3DGS, digital twins, and AI Agents, and incorporating technologies such as Nvidia Metropolis, Cosmos, Omniverse, and Nemotron.

NVIDIA open-sources and releases the NVIDIA Recovery workload recovery service

On November 3, 2026, NVIDIA released the open-source workload-level recovery service NVIDIA Recovery. The service detects training interruptions through application logs, GPU metrics, and scheduler signals, and processes them in a four-phase loop: detection, attribution, isolation, and restart or stop. The service is released under the Apache 2.0 license in the dsx-ai-factory/NVIDIA-Recovery repository; Slurm integration is implemented through an Advisor Controller deployed via a Helm chart, supporting both in-cluster and SSH modes. New deployments default to monitoring mode, which only outputs recovery recommendations and does not execute scheduling actions. From July 9 to October 9, monitoring on a training cluster covered nearly 200 jobs per day, recording approximately 8,550 anomaly detections, with average detection and recovery action latencies of 69 seconds and 94 seconds, respectively. The service is currently released as open source, and there is no information on further developments yet.

NVIDIA Releases AICR Recipe Family for Vera Rubin NVL72

On November 3, 2026, NVIDIA released the AI Cluster Runtime (AICR) recipe family for Vera Rubin NVL72, which uses reusable recipes to lock in tuning configurations, generate deployment packages, and validate running clusters, enabling Kubernetes environments to support Vera Rubin NVL72 from Day 1. This recipe series locks in configurations including the R615.23 open-source kernel module driver, DRA driver v0.5.0 (including ComputeDomains), and the 64k-page kernel of Ubuntu 26.04, and completed end-to-end validation on a reference cluster using GPU Operator v26.7.0, with cross-node NCCL all-reduce reaching 744.71 GB/s bus bandwidth at 16 GiB. Early chip validation also found that go-nvlib did not map the Rubin architecture value, causing the DRA driver's kubelet plugin to crash and restart; the relevant fix has entered the official release of DRA driver v0.5.0. There are currently no further developments.

NVIDIA Expands Cosmos Platform Training Tools and Data Blueprints

On October 22, 2026, NVIDIA announced the expansion of the Cosmos platform, adding training tools, simulation checkpoints, and Cosmos Data Factory blueprints to help developers build world models. According to information released by the NVIDIA Newsroom, Cosmos Data Factory provides five cloud-native blueprints, now available through GitHub, Microsoft Azure, Nebius, and CoreWeave; Porsche is using it to build a shared autonomous driving data flywheel, which is expected to reduce repetitive real-vehicle testing by up to 90% and shorten development cycles by up to 85%. Cosmos Framework's training, optimization, and deployment tools are being extended in the form of agent skills to open-source models such as GR00T, Alpamayo, QWEN, and Pi0.5, and the Cosmos 3 NIM microservice delivers up to 2x faster inference under validated configurations. There are currently no further developments.

Nvidia responds to report that U.S. intelligence agencies surveilled people close to Jensen Huang

On October 30, 2026, Nvidia responded to an investigative report by The New York Times. The report said that when U.S. intelligence agencies were investigating the chip transshipment issue, they surveilled individuals close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and identified Alice Huang, an executive at the Singapore cloud service provider Megaspeed, as a suspected Chinese government intelligence officer. An Nvidia spokesperson said that Megaspeed is merely a regional cloud customer of Nvidia, that it is normal for Jensen Huang to communicate with thousands of customers each year, and that allegations that Megaspeed evaded export controls were thoroughly investigated and clarified last year, and that customers cannot access Nvidia's trade secrets or related national security information. Nvidia also said that if the U.S. government believes anyone poses a threat to American industry, it will inform the company.

Nvidia in talks to guarantee debt for Nscale data center construction

People familiar with the matter say Nvidia is in talks to provide a multi-billion-dollar debt credit guarantee for AI cloud service provider Nscale, to be used to build a 460-megawatt data center in West Virginia; the facility will be equipped entirely with Nvidia Vera Rubin GPUs and leased to Anthropic. The agreement takes the form of a residual-value guarantee on the data center assets themselves, rather than on the lease or the chips, which would allow Nscale to obtain investment-grade financing; if Nscale fails to pay construction costs on schedule, Nvidia will pay on its behalf and temporarily take over the facility. According to a report by The Information confirmed by Bloomberg, under the residual-value guarantee arrangement, if Nscale defaults on construction payments, Nvidia will temporarily take over the facility and help find a buyer and new tenants. Nscale's IPO filing shows that Anthropic has signed a $44.6 billion contract for the first building of the project; that building has a capacity of 460 megawatts and is expected to use Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin chips, and the two sides are also in talks on another building worth about $45 billion. Nvidia and Nscale have not yet publicly confirmed the guarantee arrangement.
