Ahead of his departure, Jensen Huang acted out of character, confessing "I'm an asshole" and expressing self-blame.
In the final hours before Jensen Huang stepped down from NVIDIA (NVDA), his once domineering, micromanaging management style had seemingly vanished. By the end, Huang looked completely broken and drained, with his legendary vigor all but gone.
According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, after weeks of denying allegations of an extramarital affair and fighting to retain his CEO position, Huang ultimately resigned late Wednesday local time. At that time, he no longer displayed his usual take-charge demeanor, instead frequently using phrases like "whatever" and "I don't care".
For decades, Huang had personally driven NVIDIA’s growth into a multi-trillion-dollar AI chip giant. He micromanaged every detail from chip architecture to entry-level employee compensation, holding immense control over the company’s operations. But for those present at the time, he had given up the fight.
According to people who have spoken with Huang in recent days, he has shown signs of remorse, even harshly criticizing himself with vulgar language like "I'm an asshole". He stated that at this stage, he no longer cares about his final outcome. His current top concern is his wife, and avoiding "destroying the lives of the multiple women now publicly linked to him in romantic relationships".

Serenity: No longer bullish on NVIDIA's long-term prospects after Jensen Huang's departure.
Serenity stated in a post that following Jensen Huang’s resignation as NVIDIA CEO, it no longer has confidence in the chipmaker’s future. NVIDIA can sustain growth over the next one to two years via its existing business revenue and product roadmap, but in the long run, without Huang’s forward-looking leadership, the company may struggle to retain its leading position. It noted that Huang’s strategic vision was what previously allowed NVIDIA to outperform rivals including AMD and Broadcom. Consequently, it no longer views NVIDIA as an attractive long-term investment.

Li Feifei's Atlas is now fully open, enabling generation of 3D worlds from photos, as well as model export and API access.
Beating AI News: World Labs, founded by Fei-Fei Li, announced that its world model Atlas is now fully open to all users. Previously, Atlas was only available to invited testers; now regular users can create and edit virtual worlds via web tools, while developers can integrate the model through its API.
The Viewfinder tool lets users upload one or more images, prompting Atlas to fill in the space outside the uploaded visuals, then freely adjust camera positions to generate perspective-specific images and videos. Another tool, Chisel, allows users to build simple 3D scenes, adjust room layouts and object positions, and have AI generate visuals based on those structures. Generated outputs can be saved as 3D Gaussian Splatting scenes, further converted to 3D mesh models with actual geometric structures, and imported into software like Blender and game engines for further use.
World Labs has also opened related APIs, enabling developers to integrate scene generation, video production, and 3D reconstruction capabilities into their own products. Atlas launched in September this year, and last week the company rolled out Frameboy, a tool for real-time exploration of virtual worlds. At that time, the public version only allowed users to experience pre-made official scenes; creating custom scenes still required applying for Viewfinder test access. Now Viewfinder is also officially open: users can upload their own assets to build virtual worlds, then explore them in real time via Frameboy.
