Introduction

Nvidia is expanding its research operations in Asia with the launch of a new research centre in Singapore. The facility will become Nvidia’s first research hub in Singapore and its second research presence in the Asia-Pacific region, reflecting the company’s broader investment in artificial intelligence and robotics technologies.

Focus On Embodied AI

The new centre will focus heavily on embodied AI, a category that includes robotics, autonomous vehicles and drone systems. Nvidia has continued increasing investment in the sector through the development of AI models, hardware and computing systems designed specifically for robotics and autonomous applications. The company said the Singapore facility will support research aimed at accelerating real-world deployment of these technologies.

Collaborative Ecosystem

Operations at the research centre will involve collaboration with universities, industry groups and government agencies. Singapore is also preparing to launch a national AI robotics testbed later this year, allowing companies to co-develop and test commercial AI-driven robotics technologies. Early participants are expected to include companies such as Certis, DHL, Grab and QuikBot.

Government And Industry Partnership

Singapore’s government is also working with robotics companies, including Slamtec, Unitree and QuikBot, on the launch of the Center for Intelligent Robotics. The initiative will support testing across multiple applications, including delivery services, cleaning operations and security patrol systems. Officials said the programme is intended to strengthen the integration of AI technologies into existing industrial and service-sector operations.

Strategic Significance

Nvidia’s expansion comes as Singapore continues positioning itself as a regional hub for AI development and deployment. Despite its relatively small size, the country has increasingly become a testing ground for advanced AI technologies across manufacturing, logistics and urban services. The latest investment also reflects growing competition among global technology companies to expand AI research capabilities across the Asia-Pacific markets.

A New Twitter-Inspired Social Network Is Taking Shape

August 27, 2026

A new social network called Twitter.now is entering the market, with a founding team that includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. The service is being developed by startup Operation Bluebird.

As Ars Technica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to block the launch. Operation Bluebird argued in a petition that X had abandoned trademarks including “Twitter” and “Tweet.”

Coates has said the project is not an attempt to recreate the original Twitter. In a LinkedIn post, he described the platform as a new public space focused on trust, transparency and user choice.

AI System To Rate Posts

Twitter.now is currently being tested, with early access priced at $20. Its main feature is VERA, an AI system designed to evaluate posts, verify claims and provide sources and context.

Posts receive a trust score, with users eventually able to set a minimum score to filter their feeds. The company says this approach will give people more control over what they see instead of leaving those decisions entirely to an algorithm.

Moderation Remains A Challenge

Scaling moderation will be one of the platform’s biggest tests. Social networks have repeatedly struggled with content moderation as their communities grow, and newer platforms such as Bluesky have faced similar criticism.

Operation Bluebird says VERA will form the basis of its moderation and verification system. A second version is already planned, with expanded tools that would let users set a specific trust threshold for the posts appearing in their feeds.

For now, Twitter.now remains in an early testing phase, combining the familiarity of the Twitter name with an AI-driven approach to evaluating online information.
