✨ Morning, Builders – Today’s AI Power Plays

AI isn’t just evolving - it’s rewriting the rulebook. From Nvidia’s new China-bound chip to Musk’s family-friendly Grok, Microsoft sneaking GPT into Excel, and Google making Docs talk back the moves this week reveal how fast Big Tech is racing to redefine the edge. Add in Snowflake’s push into automaking and Google’s travel-hacking AI, and it’s clear: the AI arms race is touching every corner of work, play, and industry.

Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

NVIDIA

Nvidia is preparing the B30A, a Blackwell-based chip designed to outperform the H20 while dodging U.S. export bans.

  • Single-die design (vs. dual-die B300), ~50% of flagship power

  • NVLink + high-bandwidth memory for faster data transfer

  • Samples ship to Chinese clients next month

  • RTX6000D inference chip also inbound, tuned under U.S. thresholds

  • U.S. Commerce still weighing approval

Why it matters: With Huawei rising and U.S. regulators clamping down, B30A could be Nvidia’s last card to hold market share in China. This isn’t just specs it’s survival in a fractured AI supply chain.

MICROSOFT

Excel is finally catching up. Microsoft is testing a new COPILOT function that lets you generate summaries, classify data, and create tables directly in cells with natural language.

Details:

  • Integrates seamlessly with existing formulas

  • Powered by OpenAI’s gpt-4.1-mini model

  • Inputs remain confidential, no external data access

  • Microsoft warns don’t use in high-stakes settings (accuracy limits)

  • Rolling out to 365 Beta users now

Why it matters: Excel is one of the last untouched giants of workplace software. Bringing AI here changes daily workflows for millions and sets up a showdown with Google Sheets.

Job boards are dead. Your network is alive.

You don’t need another job board.
You need a signal in the noise.

Indy AI, a new feature by Contra, helps independents find career-defining opportunities through the networks they’ve already built. It connects to LinkedIn and X, then quietly surfaces warm, high-fit opportunities hiding in your extended network, including from people you didn’t even know were hiring.

No cold outreach. No endless scrolling. No pitching into the void.

This is work that finds you. Real opportunities, backed by real people you already know.

It’s not hustle culture. It’s human signal.


And it’s how independents grow without burning out.

Let Indy AI do the searching, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

Google Docs now lets you listen to your documents via Gemini’s new audio feature.

Key Features:

  • “Listen to this tab” option in Tools > Audio

  • Authors can add custom play buttons

  • Multiple voices + playback speeds

  • English only, desktop first

Why it matters: From accessibility to editing on the go, Docs is moving beyond text. For writers, students, and teams, this is another nudge toward AI-first productivity.

GROK

Elon Musk has rolled out a PIN-locked Kids Mode for Grok, turning the chatbot into a safer, family-friendly AI.

What’s new:

  • PIN keeps kids locked in safe mode until parents step in

  • Creative features like Grok Imagine included

  • Baby Groot-inspired design for playful UX

  • Positioned against Google’s Gemini for Teens

Why it matters: Once criticized for unfiltered replies, Grok is now reframing as an AI built with safety at its core. Musk is signaling that xAI isn’t just edgy it wants to sit at the family table, too.

SNOWFLAKE

Snowflake is expanding its AI Data Cloud to reshape auto manufacturing. Brands like Nissan, CarMax, and Penske are already on board.

What it does:

  • Unifies vehicle, production, and supply chain data

  • Supports EVs + software-defined cars

  • Enables predictive maintenance + real-time analytics

Why it matters: The auto industry is racing toward electrification and autonomy. Snowflake wants to be the quiet AI engine keeping it all on track.
