Nvidia acquires SchedMD, raising concerns over open‑source Slurm access
Nvidia announced the acquisition of SchedMD, the company behind the open‑source Slurm workload manager that runs on roughly 60% of the world’s supercomputers. Slurm is a critical component for training large language models and for government‑run high‑performance clusters. The deal has sparked anxiety among AI labs and supercomputing experts who fear Nvidia may prioritize its own needs.

Google unveiled FunctionGemma, a function‑calling‑optimized variant of the compact Gemma 3 270M model, designed to run directly on Android smartphones. The on‑device AI can translate natural‑language prompts into executable commands, such as creating calendar events or manipulating game elements, demonstrated in the AI Edge Gallery mini‑game and a browser‑based physics puzzle. By operating locally, FunctionGemma improves privacy and cuts latency, while Google projects reliability gains from 58 % to 85 % with further training. The model is publicly available on Hugging Face and Kaggle for developers to integrate.
