And he was able to take all of this, and then he went and found some researchers at New South Wales, and they designed a custom mRNA vaccine tailored specifically to Rosie's tumor.
The thing that took the longest, because they actually got that done pretty quick, the thing that took the longest is that they had to wait
three months just for the regulation to approve that it was going to be safe to vaccinate his dog, which kind of is horrible considering, you know, only had months left to live and he's probably super stressed about it.
And the regulation took longer than them cranking out this vaccine just with chat GPT.
And then Rosie received her first injection in December.
And then by March, she had about a tennis ball-sized tumor and had shrunk about 75% and continuing to shrink.
So researchers believe that this might be the first kind of personalized cancer vaccine ever created for a dog.
But this also will work for humans.
And I think the bigger implication here is that the same approach is already being tested in humans by companies like Moderna, Merck, and Pfizer.
And perhaps it's regulation in America, but I don't know, not my favorite thing.
It's incredible that he was able to make this for his dog really quick and get it ready in three months, a custom vaccine.
So I think this obviously started out as a really desperate attempt to save his dog, but I think it's actually a preview of AI-driven personalized medicine that we're going to see more of, and hopefully we'll see this for humans in the future.
Next up, NVIDIA is preparing a major AI chip reveal.
NVIDIA's massive AI conference is called GTC.
It's kicking off, and Jensen Huang is expected to unveil the company's next generation of AI chips.
These chips are designed for the next wave of AI models and large-scale inference
workloads.
I think right now we're really entering a phase where companies aren't just training models, they're actually deploying them everywhere.
And so that means that the demand for the inference compute is exploding.
And Nvidia to this point has already become really the central infrastructure provider for the boom.
