Welcome to this week's edition of Overclocked!

We’ll break down the biggest announcements from Nvidia’s GTC Conference, including GROOT, Nvidia’s new a new generalist robot technology. Meanwhile, a new study shows AI capabilities are doubling faster than Moore’s Law ever promised. Let’s get into it. ⬇️

🧬 Everything you missed from Nvidia’s GTC Conference
⚡ AI performance is doubling every 3 months
🛜 Claudee 3.7 finally gets internet access
🤯 Global quantum messaging could change our world forever
🤖 Weekly challenge: Build your own AI productivity hack

🦾 Nvidia Showcases Impressive Technology at GTC 2025

Will this give investors more confidence in American tech stocks?

Nvidia announced partnerships to accelerate quantum computing, including tight integration with QODA and new GPU-powered quantum simulations. Jensen Huang described this as the start of “accelerated quantum” that brings real-world applications like drug discovery and material science closer to reality.

🧱 AI for Everything, Everywhere

From smart factories to self-driving cars, Nvidia’s latest announcements showed how AI is spreading across every industry. Project GR00T, a general-purpose foundation model for robotics, aims to standardize motion and reasoning in real-world tasks. Digital twins and Edge AI were also major themes.

🎨 Creative Tools and Omniverse

Nvidia expanded its Omniverse platform with tools for creators, architects, and simulation engineers. Artists can now use AI to texture 3D models automatically, simulate physics at scale, and train generative models with real-time feedback.

⚡ AI Is Evolving Faster Than Ever

A new report from METR reveals what AI insiders have suspected: task completion times are dropping dramatically. Since 2019, the time it takes AI models to perform human-level tasks has been cut in half every 3 to 7 months.

Just last month, Claude 3.7 Sonnet completed tasks in under an hour that take experts nearly a full hour. And projections suggest that by 2029, AI could reliably perform tasks that currently take humans an entire month.

That means starting a company, conducting scientific research, or even producing an entire book could be within AI’s grasp in days, not months. Ready or not—the AI speedrun has begun.

🌐 Claude Goes Online

Speaking of Claude 3.7, Anthropic just gave Claude a major upgrade: real-time web browsing. This means Claude can now fetch the latest info online, just like ChatGPT with browsing. It’s a big leap for a model that used to rely only on static data.

Now, users can ask Claude to:

☑️ Check current events
🕵️ Verify facts
🔍 Dig up specific sources

This new feature, rolling out to Pro users, is especially useful for open-ended research. It's another big step in the evolution of agentic AI tools—ones that act more like assistants and less like chatbots.

🤖 AI Challenge: Build Your Personalized Productivity Hack

Let’s use AI to make life easier—starting this week.

Your challenge: build a custom AI tool that solves one of your daily bottlenecks.

How it works:

🧠 Step 1: Identify a Bottleneck
Think of a recurring task that slows you down.

• Summarizing articles

• Organizing your to-do list

• Translating emails

• Generating social posts

💡 Step 2: Create an AI Prompt
Use a tool like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude to build a repeatable prompt.
Examples:

• "Summarize this article in 3 bullets: [paste text]"

• "Translate this email to French and keep it professional: [paste text]"

🔧 Step 3: Implement & Refine
Try it out, tweak the prompt, and improve the flow.

📩 Step 4: Share Your Hack
Reply to this newsletter with:

• Your task/problem

• The AI prompt you created

• How it helped or saved time

We can’t wait to hear how you’re using AI to make life simpler and more efficient!

That’s it for this week! Will Nvidia’s latest conference cool investor anxiety? And, are you comfortable with the speed of AI evolution (it’s mind boggling, we know)? Let us know in your responses!
