We\u2019ve got tons of stories to share from this week, like the greatest hits from Nvidia GTC; the NASA astronauts finally came home; Rippling\u2019s lawsuit; and Google bought Wiz. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google finally does it: <\/strong>Google made its biggest acquisition in its history this week when it confirmed that it was buying Wiz for $32 billion. Google says it will position Wiz as a \u201cmulticloud\u201d offering, meaning Wiz will not be a Google-only shop. Last year, Google offered Wiz $23 billion for its business. Guess it pays to say no sometimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Speaking of acquisitions: <\/strong>xAI, Elon Musk\u2019s AI company, bought Hotshot, a startup working on AI-powered video-generation tools. The acquisition could signal that xAI plans to build its own video-generation models to compete with the likes of OpenAI\u2019s Sora, Google\u2019s Veo 2, and others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nvidia GTC: <\/strong>Nvidia\u2019s biggest conference of the year ended on Thursday, and we were on the ground bringing you the latest from the chipmaker. The company announced two personal AI supercomputers; Groot N1, a foundational model for humanoid robots; new GPUs, called Blackwell Ultra, Vera Rubin, and Feynman; and much more.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This is TechCrunch\u2019s Week in Review, where we recap the week\u2019s biggest <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.

The $499 smartphone features an upgraded 6.3-inch Actua display, which Google says is 35% brighter than the Pixel 8a. But the real update here is to the design: It\u2019s ditching its camera bar on the backside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hacked: <\/strong>The Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), the largest organization for educators in Pennsylvania, says hackers stole the sensitive personal information of more than half a million of its members. PSEA said member account numbers, PINs, passwords, and security codes were also accessed during the breach, according to a letter sent to affected individuals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Neat!<\/strong> A 12th grader built a website called Minecraft Bench (MC-Bench) that pits two AIs against each other to see which one builds better creations in Minecraft. MC-Bench is technically a programming benchmark, since the models are asked to write code to create the prompted build.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Actually super helpful: <\/strong>Google is switching up how you find email in your inbox. Rather than displaying everything chronologically, it will now use AI to consider factors like recency, most-clicked emails, and frequent contacts when surfacing emails based on your search query.
