Eight-year-old semiconductor startup Frore Systems has raised a $143 million Series D, led by MVP Ventures, at $1.64 billion valuation, the company announced on Monday. Frore has now raised $340 million total, the company said. Frore doesn’t make the chips themselves; it makes liquid-cooling systems for them.

The company’s focus on chips was inspired by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who received a demo of the technology about two years ago, Bloomberg reported. Huang suggested they develop liquid-cooling…

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang used the company’s keynote at Nvidia GTC on Monday to introduce DLSS 5, a new version of the chipmaker’s AI graphics tech designed to make video games more realistic while using less compute power.  The new DLSS 5 system combines traditional 3D graphics data with generative AI models that can predict and fill in parts of an image, allowing Nvidia’s GPUs to produce detailed scenes and lifelike characters without rendering every element from scratch.  “We fused controllable 3D graphics, the ground truth of virtual worlds, the structured data … with generative AI, probabilistic computing,” Huang said during…

The timing is good for Picsart to launch such a marketplace, since…

Britain keeps building world-class companies. It also keeps losing them. DeepMind, now the engine of Google’s Gemini, was British. Revolut and Monzo, two of the UK’s most valuable fintech unicorns, have both signaled they may pursue U.S. listings rather than London ones. A House of Lords committee warned earlier this year that the UK risks becoming a country where innovative firms develop transformative products before selling out or moving abroad, leaving other nations to reap the economic benefits. “The U.K. has the potential to be a powerhouse of growth for AI and creative tech companies,” said the committee’s chair. “However,…

With the bounties of both sea and land, it’s also a foodie paradise, as Sophie Ibbotson discovered.The key to this long weekend is to escape work as early as you can on a Thursday and head west: the pace of life (and travel) slows once you’ve left the motorway behind. The Southwest 660 starts in Poole in Dorset and ends…

The charity wants tech companies to install real-time technology on children’s devices to block the creation and sharing of nude images, arguing that voluntary measures are not enough. The call comes as, across the 42 forces that provided data for both years, the number of offences increased by 9%. Data obtained by the NSPCC shows that more than 828 offences were recorded in Scotland alone during 2024/25, representing an 11% increase on the previous year. Of the 10,811 cases where police recorded the platform used, 43% involved Snapchat. Meta-owned platforms accounted for nearly a quarter of all offences, including 8%…
