Arm and Nvidia plan closer collaboration. Arm says its CPUs will be able to connect directly to Nvidia's AI chips using NVLink Fusion, making it easier for customers to pair Neoverse CPUs with Nvidia GPUs. The move also opens Nvidia's NVLink platform to processors beyond its own lineup.

The partnership targets cloud providers like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which increasingly rely on custom Arm chips to cut costs and tailor their systems. Arm licenses chip designs rather than selling its own processors, and the new protocol speeds up data transfers between CPUs and GPUs. Nvidia previously tried to buy Arm in 2020 for 40 billion dollars, but regulators in the United States and the United Kingdom blocked the deal.

Cloudflare is acquiring Replicate and folding its massive model library into Workers AI. The deal pushes Cloudflare's inference platform past 50,000 available models. Replicate users can keep using their existing APIs, while Workers AI users gain access to a far larger catalog along with new fine-tuning options. Both companies plan to bring Replicate's full library to Workers AI and let developers run their own models directly on Cloudflare's network.

Replicate has become a major hub for developers who want easy API access to AI models. Cloudflare brings its global network and serverless inference system to the table. "Together, we’re going to become the default for building AI apps," said Replicate cofounder Ben Firshman. Replicate will stay as an independent brand but operate with Cloudflare's support and infrastructure behind it.

Cloudflare, best known for its DNS services, recently introduced a system that blocks AI crawlers by default and gives website owners more control over how their content is accessed.

Google is updating the Gemini app with a new way to control its AI video model. With the latest release, users can upload multiple reference images for a single video prompt. The system then generates video and audio based on those images combined with text, giving people more direct control over how the final clip looks and sounds.

Google previously tested this feature in Flow, the company's expanded video AI platform. Flow also supports extending existing clips and stitching together multiple scenes, and it offers a slightly higher video quota than the Gemini app. Veo 3.1 has been available since mid-October and, according to Google, delivers more realistic textures, higher input fidelity, and better audio quality than Veo 3.0.
