## Resource

Today on UpNext AI: Nvidia makes a broad push to bring personal AI agents onto RTX PCs and DGX Spark systems, Intel says it is targeting a new AI data-centre inference chip by year-end, and we dig into a research paper on benchmark datasets for spiking graph neural networks on neuromorphic hardware. Covered in this episode: - Nvidia unveils RTX Spark and expands local AI agent tooling across RTX PCs and DGX systems - Intel targets a new AI data-centre inference GPU by the end of the year - New npj Unconventional Computing paper builds smaller citation-network benchmarks for spiking graph neural networks on neuromorphic hardware - Anthropic details how it contains Claude across products - Report says AI search agents can confirm prior assumptions instead of actually researching the web - Financial Times reports Western AI models are helping sharpen Iran’s cyber operations - A broader jobs warning around the rise of AI agents Sources: - Nvidia: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/rtx-ai-garage-computex-spark-local-agents/ - Financial Times on Intel: https://www.ft.com/content/3ca15070-c1c7-4ec2-9598-e36b7de47bc0 - npj Unconventional Computing paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44335-026-00068-2 - Simon Willison on Anthropic containment: https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/30/how-we-contain-claude/#atom-everything - The Decoder on AI search agents: https://the-decoder.com/ai-search-agents-often-confirm-what-they-already-know-instead-of-actually-researching-the-web/ - Financial Times on Iran and ChatGPT: https://www.ft.com/content/4f18256e-a58f-4411-97e4-ac5e5eb055aa - Times Now on AI agents and jobs: https://www.timesnownews.com/technology-science/big-techs-ai-agent-dream-could-come-at-the-expense-of-millions-of-jobs-article-154432517
