Nvidia said its DLSS 5 AI rendering that was initially planned for this evening on only one game and only RTX 50 GPUs will also be brought to older RTX 40-series GPUs. Nvidia confirmed the RTX 40-series expansion in a spokesperson statement to The Verge. As a result, DLSS 5 support widens beyond RTX 50, while gamers still won’t get full control over how it’s used.

Perplexity open sourced Lily, a local single-process Rust + Metal inference engine for running Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on Apple silicon via an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions API. It reported averaging 4,156 prefill tokens/s versus 3,388 for MLX-LM (1.23x) and 170.0 decode tokens/s versus 126.4 (1.35x) on a 40-core, 128 GB M5 Max. This shifts execution away from PyTorch/MLX into a Metal-kernel runtime specialized to one model and hardware family, with standalone demos and an inference server codepath for deployment.

AI finance took center stage: the IMF warns that the build-out’s most immediate market risk isn’t model capability, it’s leverage. In a review of 14 publicly disclosed deals since 2023, the fund found hyperscalers backing AI with about $650 billion in debt against roughly $300 billion in equity, while committing to spend $1.4 trillion going forward. The prescription is blunt—limit sector leverage and liquidity risk through sector-specific capital requirements and constraints on bank lending concentration—because when funding rests on borrowed money, sentiment swings turn into funding crunches.
