Helios is a rack-scale system that combines AMD's GPUs, CPUs, networking, and software to power frontier model inference. It will start shipping to customers later this year. AMD hasn't released any details about cost, but it is estimated that Helios will cost between $5 million and $5.5 million. AMD only holds around 4.5% of the data center GPU market, but Helios could change that.

BRAINCO DEMONSTRATES BRAIN-CONTROLLED ROBOT AI PLATFORM

BrainCo showcased a platform that allows users to direct robots through neural signals at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference this week. The technology uses an EEG headset to pick up the wearer's brain signals. AI algorithms are used to decode the signals into intent, which then gets converted into commands for the robot. The demonstration showed a mind-controlled robotic arm completing tasks that require precision, such as grasping a cup and picking up an apple.
