Nvidia is pulling back from direct competition with cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, according to The Information. Its GPU cloud service, DGX Cloud, will now be used mainly for Nvidia's own research. The service was originally pitched to banks, pharmaceutical companies, and other enterprises as a way to book computing power directly from Nvidia. But insiders say demand stayed low, partly because prices were higher than those of traditional cloud providers. Nvidia invested around $13 billion to rent back its own chips from AWS and other major clouds, then resold some of that capacity to customers like Amgen and ServiceNow. Publicly, Nvidia denies any shift in strategy. Company executive Alexis Black Bjorlin said DGX Cloud is fully booked and will continue to expand. At the same time, Nvidia has launched DGX Cloud Lepton, a marketplace where cloud providers can offer their own GPU resources.

OpenAI has rolled out a new "Developer Mode" for ChatGPT, giving Plus and Pro users on the web full access to MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, including both read and write functions.
The beta feature lets developers connect their own remote servers, manage tools, and use them directly in chats. It supports OAuth authentication, HTTP streaming, and Server-Sent Events (SSE). To activate it, go to "Settings → Connectors → Advanced Settings → Developer Mode." Once enabled, you can add connectors directly through the chat input field.
OpenAI warns that Developer Mode comes with serious risks, including prompt injection, unintended write operations, and potentially dangerous tool execution. If an MCP server is compromised, it could access or alter user data. Any write action requires separate confirmation to proceed.
"It's powerful but dangerous, and is intended for developers who understand how to safely configure and test connectors."
