Nvidia’s Next AI Chips Honor Dark Matter Pioneer
Nvidia’s next-gen AI chips are named after Vera Rubin, the astronomer who helped prove dark matter exists. Since 1998, Nvidia has named its GPU architectures after scientists, often women, but never explained why. While they don’t highlight it, this is one of tech’s most visible nods to diversity. From Curie to Hopper, their chips quietly celebrate the minds that shaped science. Now, Rubin joins the list—fitting for AI’s deep dive into the unknown.
