NVIDIA Shifts to Boot42 Register for Next-Gen Rubin GPUs in Linux Drivers

NVIDIA has started preparing for its next-generation Rubin GPU architecture by transitioning from the long-standing Boot0 register to a new Boot42 identification system. The shift appears in newly submitted open-source Nova driver patches that simplify detection logic for future GPUs. This early groundwork suggests NVIDIA’s Linux team is getting ready for Rubin’s anticipated 2026 production timeline.

Early Signals of NVIDIA’s Next Architecture Shift

NVIDIA appears to be laying the groundwork for its next-generation GPU architecture sooner than many expected. According to recent open-source driver patches, the company has begun transitioning from its longstanding Boot0 identification system to a new Boot42 register for future graphics processors.

Researchers Propose Moving Beyond Turing Test to Focus on AI Safety and Practical Applications

Leading researchers gathered at London’s Royal Society to mark the 75th anniversary of Alan Turing’s famous test, arguing that current AI capabilities require more meaningful evaluation methods. The consensus suggests focusing on safety metrics and practical applications rather than pursuing artificial general intelligence as the primary goal.

The End of an Era for AI Evaluation

According to reports from a landmark event at London’s Royal Society, leading artificial intelligence researchers are calling for the retirement of the Turing test as a meaningful benchmark for machine intelligence. The gathering, which marked the 75th anniversary of Alan Turing‘s seminal paper, featured experts who argued that today’s sophisticated AI models have effectively rendered the famous thought experiment obsolete.
