Jensen Huang | AI rainmaker meets his Waterloo

Jensen Huang, the co-founder of Nvidia, has faced a significant setback in his career as a result of a scandal involving his affair with a Chinese businesswoman. This news comes just days after reports surfaced of a second relationship with Nvidia's head of healthcare, Kimberly Powell. The controversy has escalated to the point where Huang has been forced to resign as CEO of Nvidia, a company he had built from the ground up.

Tae Kim, author of "The Nvidia Way," suggests that Huang might have been better suited for a career as a teacher, but now he must return to his signature problem-solving method of diagramming on a whiteboard. The scandal has also led to intense scrutiny over Huang's actions, further complicating his already precarious situation.

I benchmarked AI decision APIs against XGBoost for fraud detection. XGBoost won, by a lot.

Between September and October, TypeSafe, OpenAI and Cloudflare all shipped "decision model" APIs: you send a case, ask one fixed question, and get a score back.

  • XGBoost outperformed AI APIs in fraud detection, catching more cases in top 100 reviews
  • AI approaches ran zero-shot, lacking training data, impacting accuracy
  • AI APIs were fast and cheap, but XGBoost's labeled training proved more effective

Keeping a product's label real in AI video: a tracker with no green screen

If you make ads for a small brand with an AI video model, the first complaint is rarely the motion or the light. It is the label.

  • Vision model finds label corners in generated shots, providing JSON format coordinates.
  • Patch tracker matches label region across frames, preventing errors from accumulating.
