In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami," we delve into three impactful news stories from the tech world. We begin by analyzing the meteoric rise of Nvidia, which has dethroned Microsoft as the most valuable company in the world thanks to its dominance in the AI chip market. With a market capitalization of $3.335 trillion, Nvidia has become the cornerstone of the AI revolution, driving the development of innovative applications such as image generators and chatbots.

Next, we dive into the unfortunate situation of Fisker, the electric vehicle startup that has declared bankruptcy for the second time. After facing operational and financial challenges, a massive recall of its Ocean SUVs, and failing to secure partnerships and investments, Fisker has been forced to seek protection under Chapter 11. Finally, we marvel at the impressive advancement by DeepMind, the Google division, which has unveiled an AI model called V2A capable of generating synchronized audio—including music, sound effects, and dialogues—directly from videos. This revolutionary technology promises to enhance the realism of AI-generated videos and open up new creative opportunities in the entertainment industry.
