Nvidia’s Big Leap into Open Agentic AI
This morning, I couldn’t help but get excited reading about Nvidia’s bold move — their new Nemotron 3 models are here, and they’re fully open. As a UX designer, I find it thrilling to see such innovation give developers in the West a competitive alternative (while still keeping everyone tied into Nvidia’s hardware ecosystem).
Nvidia’s Nemotron 3 comes in three sizes – Nano (30B), Super (100B), and Ultra (500B) – with Nano already available. It’s been benchmarked to beat other models like Qwen3-30B on coding and instruction-following tasks, generating responses over three times faster. With all the training data, fine-tuning tools, and reinforcement learning environments available, this is set to change how we build multi-agent AI systems. If you’re curious for more details, check out the full story on Nvidia’s official release.
For designers, this means we might soon have AI assistants that are both powerful and customisable — something that could fundamentally alter our approach to prototyping and iterative design.
AI Reasoning Models Make Strides in Finance
While my days are typically centred around design pixels and user flows, it was fascinating to learn that top AI models are now acing the CFA exams. It seems that models like Gemini 3.0 Pro and GPT-5 are not just playing at coding but mastering deep financial knowledge (with scores nearing perfection!).
This study, which analysed 980 finance exam questions, found AI models performing exceptionally well. Though it might seem far removed from human-centred design, the rapid improvement in AI reasoning means our design tools could soon integrate smarter, context-aware features that anticipate our needs and streamline complex data visualisation tasks. Check out the study on arXiv for the full breakdown.
For UX professionals, it’s a reminder that the synergy between design and AI is ever-growing, prompting us to think about new ways to present and manipulate data dynamically.
Enhanced Web Design with Cursor’s Visual Editor
Have you ever wished you could tweak your website’s design live without jumping between tabs? Well, Cursor’s new visual design editor might just be the solution. I had a peek at its latest feature, which lets you modify HTML and CSS seamlessly in a single workspace.
This tool allows you to open a project, select elements directly, and even use an AI agent to suggest changes or update styles on the fly. It’s like having a mini design assistant right inside your code editor. The guide on how to set it up is available here, and it’s definitely worth a look if you’re keen on speeding up your workflow with a bit of AI magic.
Integrating such tools can help you maintain a smoother creative process and reduce the back-and-forth between different design software.
Streamline Your Workflow with ChatGPT Prompts
On a more day-to-day note, I’ve been exploring HubSpot’s free guide that offers over 100 ChatGPT prompts designed to revolutionise your workflow. From drafting emails to sorting out task lists, these prompts can really help boost efficiency without all the usual hassle.
The guide provides a quick crash course on using ChatGPT at work, complete with practical examples and industry use cases. For anyone who wants to dip their toes into AI-enhanced work practices, this is a brilliant resource. You can grab your free copy by visiting HubSpot’s page.
It’s a handy reminder that sometimes, a few well-crafted prompts can save you heaps of time — giving us more space to focus on our creative and design endeavours.
