快科技8月23日消息，NVIDIA不仅是全球最赚钱的AI硬件公司，现在也把重点放在大模型开发上了，为此不惜砸了70亿美元招人，要开发全球最强的开源大模型。    Islamabad, Oct 9 (UNI) A fire broke out in the food court of a popular shopping mall in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Sunday, media reports said.

The fire has been brought under control and the cooling process has been initiated after videos on social media platforms showed smoke emitting out of the building, according to Geo news.

In a statement, Islamabad Police said that people were rescued and safely evacuated from the backdoor of the mall — which was engulfed in smoke after the fire.

The search operation is still underway, and no person or shop has been harmed, the police said, adding that the fire inside the mall has been doused out and a helicopter has also been called in.

"However, the fire has not been completely extinguished on the outside of the mall," the police said, requesting the citizens to avoid travelling near the mall to ensure that rescue teams could do their work uninterrupted.

To oversee the situation, Inspector-General Islamabad Dr Akbar Nasir Khan, senior police officials, and district administration representatives reached the mall, located in F-8.

Chairman Capital Development Authority (CDA) capt (retd) Mohammed Usman Younas is also at the site and overseeing rescue and firefighting operations.

All resources are being utilised to control the fire as early as possible, the CDA added.

The Islamabad Police later said that the building, under the orders of the deputy commissioner, would be sealed once the rescue operation was completed.

It added that the mall's building would remain sealed until a probe into the matter has been carried out. Until then, entry into the building would remain prohibited to the public.

In a separate statement, the police said that due to the fire, diversions have been placed for traffic from F-8 Exchange Chowk to Khyaban Chowk at Jinnah Avenue.

In his tweet, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that he was saddened by the incident and directed all authorities to ensure that the situation was brought under control at the earliest.

Taking notice of the incident, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah asked authorities to use everything at their disposal to ensure that the situation is under control.

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz prayed for the situation to get better.

B | 美国媒体报道，NVIDIA要跟AI初创公司Poolside达成一项合作协议，会以120亿美元的估值向公司投资10亿美元，同时花费60亿美元购买该公司的技术产权及部分研发人员。这个合作模式跟NVIDIA去年底与LPU芯片公司Groq的合作相似，不是直接收购这家公司，而是重金获得技术授权及人才，公司还会继续独立运营。Poolside公司大约100多名员工将会加入NVIDIA公司，参与的则是NVIDIA自己开发与的大模型Nemotron，旨在帮助该系列大模型成为全球最强。众所周知，NVIDIA是强烈支持开源大模型的，之前也对中国的DeepSeek、Kimi等开源大模型表示赞许，该公司自己的Nemotron大模型也是开源开放的，只不过性能不算出众，达不到DS V4、Kimi K3等中国开源大模型的水平。

C | NVIDIA作为全球最大的AI GPU供应商，而且利润丰厚，在资金及算力资源上优势独特，现在又招揽了一堆人才，Nemotron未来的性能跻身一线是很有希望的。NVIDIA自己下场开发最强的AI大模型，对OpenAI、Anthropic等VIP客户来说不是好事，但老黄这也是以彼之道还施彼身罢了。因为OpenAI、Anthropic两家公司也在大笔购买NVIDIA GPU之外的AI算力，包括谷歌及亚马逊，并且还在开发自己的AI芯片，他们不想依赖NVIDIA的芯片，NVIDIA自然也不能把大模型的希望都放在他们身上。对NVIDIA来说，自己开发最强的开源AI还有别的好处，美国迟早要对中国的开源AI下黑手的，NVIDIA的大模型未来有机会抢这部分市场，他们是不希望DeepSeek、Qwen、Kimi、GLM等中国开源大模型成为美国公司使用的主要大模型。
