Germany and Nvidia sign a physical-AI declaration

Germany's economy and research ministries signed a joint declaration of intent with Nvidia on Oct. 19 at the Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin, covering a joint initiative on AI models for physical systems. Nvidia said it will widen model access to smaller companies and research institutions, and that it plans investments in Agile Robots, Avelios Medical, Mirelo and Reflex Aerospace without stating amounts. The German government published no funding figure; a three-digit million-euro contribution remains an unnamed media report.
