Today’s AI takeoff stands on decades of open research and open infrastructure. The Transformer. Backpropagation. ImageNet. PyTorch. TensorFlow. JAX. CUDA. Linux. Books, the open Internet, and millions of open-source codebases on GitHub that became training data. Without all these, today’s AI labs and companies simply would not exist.

$NVDA says Blackwell software optimizations improved DeepSeek V4 performance by ~5x in one month cutting token costs to ~20% of prior levels. Nvidia’s value keeps compounding after deployment as software, CUDA, networking and hardware drive more throughput from the same GPUs.

At Flink Forward Asia Shenzhen 2026, NVIDIA’s Chuan Chen shared how NVIDIA and Alibaba Cloud accelerate multimodal data stream processing for Apache Flink: “NVIDIA and Alibaba Cloud's team technically collaborate to enable the CUDA library-accelerated multimodal data stream processing of Apache Flink.” This open-source collaboration enables end-to-end, high-performance multimodal streaming architectures for AI commentary, live image-text feeds, and interactive Q&A. #NVIDIA# #AlibabaCloud# #ApacheFlink# #DataAI# #AI# #Multimodal# #RealTimeStreaming#
