California moves to rename Cesar Chavez Day amid abuse allegations
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The California State Legislature is taking steps to rename Cesar Chavez Day after a controversial report exposed sexual abuse allegations against the labor union activist.
Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas took to the Assembly floor on Thursday to recognize the “disturbing” and “painful” stories told by the women in Wednesday’s New York Times article.
“As someone who grew up in the farmworker movement, as a son and grandson of farmworkers who raised my brother and I, as a father and as a Latino, I am shocked, I am angry, and I am deeply, deeply disappointed,” Rivas said.

In solidarity with labor unions, Rivas announced that he was working with Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón to introduce legislation to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day.
“This moment calls for honesty, it calls for reflection, and it calls for a renewed commitment to the values that the farmworker movement was built on,” Rivas said. “This morning, today, we stand with survivors, and we must recommit ourselves to justice, to dignity and to the people who built the farmworker movement.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the California State Legislature for further comment.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., who has supported legislation in response to the New York Times report, encouraged Rivas’ proposal.
“The farmworkers’ movement was always bigger than just one man or one person. Given the horrendous allegations that were made public for the first time yesterday, this is a welcomed change. Thank you, @CASpeakerRivas and Senate President @MoniqueLimonCA, for your leadership,” Newsom wrote on X.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also announced during a press conference on Thursday that she has signed a proclamation recognizing Cesar Chavez Day as Farmworkers Day in her city.
“On behalf of the city of Los Angeles, I’m proud to introduce and sign a proclamation today to rename the last Monday of March as Farmworkers Day,” Bass said. “I also want to share that I’ve been in touch with the Chavez family, and they support our decision to rename this holiday. This March 30, and every last Monday of March moving forward will provide an opportunity for Angelenos to reflect on how the struggle of farmworkers has elevated working people everywhere.”

US arts commission approves gold coin stamped with Donald Trump’s face | Donald Trump News
The United States Commission of Fine Arts, a federal agency, has approved plans for a commemorative gold coin that features one of Donald Trump’s recent presidential portraits.
The commission, made up of Trump appointees, voted unanimously in favour of minting the coin on Thursday. But the legality of such efforts has been repeatedly questioned.
Recommended Stories
list of 3 itemsend of listFederal law prohibits the depiction of living presidents on US currency. Thursday’s coin, however, may sidestep the rule, as it is intended as a commemorative item, not for circulation as currency.
Still, the Trump administration has advanced other plans to put the president’s face on a $1 coin, in addition to the commemorative gold coin.
Critics denounced both initiatives as unlawful and inappropriate for a sitting leader.
“Monarchs and dictators put their faces on coins, not leaders of a democracy,” Senator Jeff Merkley told the news agency Reuters.
The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, a bipartisan federal panel, has previously pushed back against efforts to mint Trump-themed coins.
One of its members, Donald Scarinci, said that the panel and the Commission of Fine Arts are both supposed to approve such designs.
“But we still fully expect them to plough ahead and mint both coins,” Scarinci said of the commission.
The gold coin is set to feature a bald eagle on one side, and Trump on the other, leaning with both fists on the table and staring straight ahead.
The image is a facsimile of a black-and-white image of Trump taken by photographer Daniel Torok and featured in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC.
“I know it’s a very strong and a very tough image of him,” said Chamberlain Harris, a Trump aide who was appointed to arts commission earlier this year.
Harris indicated that the Trump gold coin would be as large as possible. The US Mint currently produces coins as large as 7.6 centimetres, or three inches, which is what Harris said the Trump administration would aim for.
“I think the larger the better. The largest of that circulation, I think, would be his preference,” Harris said, referencing her discussions with the president.
Megan Sullivan, the acting chief at the Office of Design Management at the US Mint, also indicated that Trump had given the design his approval.
“It is my understanding that the secretary of the Treasury presented this design, as well as others, to the president, and these were his selection,” Sullivan said.
Since taking office for a second term, Trump has pushed to leave his mark on the federal government.
In addition to the gold coin and $1 coin that are slated to bear his image, he has placed his name on the US Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
Both efforts are the subject of ongoing lawsuits. An act of Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, designating it as a living memorial to the late John F Kennedy, a president who was assassinated in office in 1963.
Likewise, the US Institute of Peace was established by Congress as an independent think tank dedicated to conflict resolution.
It was the subject of a standoff between its leadership and members of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) last March, culminating in its employees being forcibly evicted.
Trump has also placed his face on government buildings around Washington, DC, in the form of long banners.
Even the architecture of the city is changing to reflect his tastes: Last October, he tore down the White House’s East Wing in order to build a massive ballroom, and he has plans to build a triumphal arch in the capital, similar to the one in Paris, France.
Trump has pitched many of the changes as part of the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations, which culminate this July.
At Thursday’s meeting to discuss the gold coin, his officials repeated the argument that celebrating Trump was a good way to mark the anniversary.
“I think it’s fitting to have a current sitting president who’s presiding over the country over the 250th year on a commemorative coin for said year,” said Harris.

Delhi riot accused Tahir Hussain gets bail: Relief from court for treatment, instructions to undergo surgery in 15 days – Delhi Riot Accused Former Councilor Tahir Hussain Gets Interim Bail On Medical Grounds
The court has granted interim bail on medical grounds to former councilor Tahir Hussain, accused in the 2020 North-East Delhi riots. He had sought bail citing health reasons for treatment of inguinal hernia. Karkardooma Court has directed the Delhi Government to ensure his surgery within 15 days.
Tahir Hussain had filed a petition in Karkardooma court citing inguinal hernia. He needs early surgery and special care. It was said that it was necessary to stay out of jail to prevent infection and recovery. The court ordered the Delhi government to ensure complete care of Hussain after his surgery, both in the hospital and jail.
This order has come on the application for interim bail. In February 2020, 53 people were killed in the riots in North-East Delhi. This violence had erupted during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Investigating agencies have described it as a well-planned conspiracy, in which Tahir Hussain is the main accused. His regular bail was also rejected in January 2026.
health related basis
Tahir Hussain had informed in his petition that he was suffering from inguinal hernia. He stressed the need for early surgery and special care. After surgery, it was said that it was necessary to stay out of jail to prevent infection and for proper recovery. On these health grounds, he had sought interim bail from the court.
court instructions
Karkardooma Court has directed Delhi Government to ensure hernia surgery of Tahir Hussain within 15 days. The court also ordered that he receive complete post-surgery care both in hospital and jail. It will be the responsibility of the Delhi government to ensure this. The court had earlier also adopted a strict stance in this case and his regular bail was rejected in January 2026.
NYC Mayor Mamdani creates Office of Community Safety to reduce police role
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Thursday he will sign an executive order to create an Office of Community Safety (OCS), a step toward his vision of public safety that prioritizes support and prevention rather than policing and penalization.
The office, housed within the mayor’s office, will oversee multiple existing public safety programs and signify a major step in building out Mamdani’s $1.1 billion Department of Community Safety.
The announcement comes after Mamdani pledged to revise the city’s police response in non-criminal emergencies, including mental health crises.
“For too long, we have approached crime and safety by placing only ever-expanding expectations on the police department, as we have asked them to address every failure of our social safety net,” Mamdani said during a news conference.
“Crime is one of the most complex issues we face, and yet our city’s approach for far too long has been to rely on a patchwork of programs to deal with interconnected problems.

“We must instead pursue a whole-of-government model, one where our strategies are centralized and implemented with coordination and at scale, and one which a deputy mayor oversees,” he continued. “This will demand a multifaceted approach to a wide array of challenges across the city.”
Mamdani said the OCS will centralize agencies, including the Office of Crime Victim Services, Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Office to End Domestic and Gender-based Violence, Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes and Office of Community Mental Health.
Mamdani announced that Renita Francois, who served in the Office of Criminal Justice during the de Blasio administration, will serve as deputy mayor for community safety and oversee the initiative.

“Renita’s commitment to justice began in her childhood in South Central LA, continued in her early career working in Brooklyn Family Court and has been guided by the many years she has spent trying to transform both the way that government approaches public safety and the outcomes it can deliver,” Mamdani said.
“Our deputy mayor will oversee policy implementation, reform and expansion of B-HEARD to ensure that when New Yorkers are in a mental health crisis, they will actually receive the care that they need and that their only option is not simply a police response.”
The Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD), a pilot program that launched in 2021, consists of a team of health professionals, including paramedics from the New York City Fire Department and mental health professionals from NYC Health + Hospitals that respond to 911 mental health calls.

Mamdani said there are “a number” of calls that come in each day that are deemed eligible for a B-HEARD response, but the city is limited in its capacity.
“[The executive order] imbues our deputy mayor with the policymaking expertise and power to ensure that B-HEARD is actually living up to the spirit of its intention,” he said. “
Our deputy mayor for community safety is not just going to be working within this portfolio. She’s also going to be in every single room where we are making the most critical decisions about the future of this city, ensuring that the lens of community safety is also being applied.”
Speaking on potential issues with the new public safety plan, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said “there will be some mistakes.”
MAMDANI TAPS EX-CON TO LEAD NYC JAILS AS RIKERS REMAINS UNDER FEDERAL OVERSIGHT
“That happens everywhere. It happens in the police department,” Williams said. “Most of y’all are not saying, ‘Let’s dismantle the police department.’ As we move to this journey, which is the correct journey, and the nation is watching us, let’s work together.
“So, when we get to those bumps in the road, we can pave them out and make them smooth. Because this is about finding a way to allow our police officers to do the job that is best suited for them. Stop asking them to do the job of everyone.”
After the announcement, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch issued a statement saying she is looking forward to working with the team to “ensure New Yorkers get the support they need” while NYPD “officers remain focused on the work they are trained to do.”

“Keeping New Yorkers safe requires more than one approach,” Tisch said. “It means making sure people have access to the resources and services they need, whether that’s career training, an after-school program or a police response.”

A closer look at Nvidia’s Groq-powered LPX rack systems • The Register
GTC DEEP DIVE At Nvidia’s GTC conference this week, CEO Jensen Huang finally addressed a $20 billion question he’s dodged for months: Why spend so much to license AI chip startup Groq’s tech and hire away its engineers rather than build it themselves?
As we’ve said before, if Nvidia wanted to build an SRAM-heavy inference accelerator, it didn’t need to buy Groq to do it. The company’s newly announced Groq 3 LPX racks, which pack 256 LP30 language processing units (LPUs) into a single system, show time-to-market was the reason Nvidia bought rather than built.
We’re told the chip is based on Groq’s second-gen LPU tech with a handful of last-minute tweaks made just before tapping out at Samsung’s fabs.
The chip doesn’t use Nvidia’s proprietary NVLink interconnect, it lacks NVFP4 hardware support, and it isn’t CUDA-compatible at launch.
We can therefore conclude that the $20 billion paid to acquire Groq’s intellectual property rights and engineering staff was an opportunity cost to get the chips out the door and into customers’ hands this year.
Why the rush?
One of the defining characteristics of SRAM-heavy architectures from Groq and its rival Cerebras is that they are very fast when running LLM inferencing workloads, routinely achieving generation rates exceeding 500 and even 1000 tokens a second.
The faster Nvidia can generate tokens, the faster code assistants and AI agents can act. But this kind of speed also opens the door to what Huang describes as test-time scaling.
The idea is that by letting “reasoning” models generate more “thinking” tokens, they can produce smarter, more accurate results. So, the faster you can generate tokens, the less of a latency penalty test-time scaling incurs.
On stage at GTC, Huang suggested that this high-performance and low-latency inference provider could eventually charge as much as $150 per million tokens for this capability.

Unfortunately for Nvidia, GPUs are great for batch processing but don’t scale nearly as efficiently as per-user-output speeds increase. At least not on their own.
By combining its GPUs and Groq’s LPU tech, Nvidia aims to deliver the best of both worlds: an inference platform that scales much more efficiently at higher tokens per second per user.

Nvidia is also under some pressure to maintain its dominance of the AI infrastructure market as rival chip designers like AMD close the gap on hardware and software.
Last week, Amazon and Cerebras announced a collaboration to pair AWS’ Trainium-3 accelerators with the latter’s wafer-scale accelerators for many of the same reasons Nvidia built LPX. Of course, AWS has also announced plans to deploy more than a million Nvidia GPUs in addition to fielding Nvidia-Groq LPUs, so the cloud giant hasn’t suddenly started picking sides.
The Groq-3 LPX
The LP30 is very different from Nvidia’s GPUs. It’s built by Samsung Electronics rather than TSMC and uses only on-chip SRAM. It also ditches the conventional Von Neumann architecture for another commonly referred to as data flow.
Rather than fetching instructions from memory, decoding, executing, and then writing that back to a register, data flow architectures process data as it’s streamed through the chip. The processor’s compute units don’t have to wait for a bunch of load and store operations to shuffle data around, which, in theory results in higher achievable utilization.
Here’s a quick overview of Nvidia’s Groq-3 LPU – Click to enlarge
According to Nvidia, each LP30 can deliver 1.2 petaFLOPS of FP8 compute. But, as we mentioned earlier, support for 4-bit block floating point data types, like MX or NV FP4, won’t arrive until the LP35 arrives sometime next year.
That compute is tied to a relatively large pool of SRAM memory, which is orders of magnitude faster than the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) found in GPUs today, but is also incredibly inefficient in terms of space required.
Each LPU only has enough die space for 500 MB of on-chip memory. For comparison, just one of the eight HBM4 modules on Nvidia’s Rubin GPUs contains 36GB of memory. What the LP30 lacks in capacity, it more than makes up for in bandwidth, achieving speeds up to 150 TB/s – nearly 7 times more than Nvidia’s Rubin accelerators.
This makes LPUs ideal for the auto-regressive decode phase of the inference pipeline, during which all of a model’s active parameters need to be streamed from memory for every token generated.
Of course, to do that, you need to fit the model in memory, which is no easy task for the trillion-parameter models Nvidia is targeting. For models this large, multiple racks are required. Because of this, LP30 bristles with interconnects. Each chip features 96 of them – specifically, 112 Gbps SerDes – totalling 2.5 TB/s of bidirectional bandwidth.
Each LPX rack is equipped with 256 LPUs. Those are spread across 32 compute trays, each containing eight LPUs, some fabric expansion logic and DRAM, and the host CPU and a BlueField-4 data processing unit (DPU).
Each LPU compute tray features eight liquid-cooled Groq-3 LPUs totalling 4GB of SRAM – Click to enlarge
Some of that network connectivity is funnelled out the back of these blades into a new copper Ethernet backplane Nvidia calls the Oberon ETL256, while the remainder is directed out the front of the system enabling multiple NVL72 and LPX racks to be stitched together.
Not a standalone part
While it’s entirely possible to run large language models (LLMs) entirely on an LPX cluster, that’s not how Nvidia is positioning the product.
This graphic shows how inference workloads are distributed across GPUs and LPUs. Image credit: Nvidia – Click to enlarge
Instead, one or more LPX racks is paired with a Vera-Rubin NVL72, which we discussed in more detail back when Nvidia showed it off in January, with various parts of the inference stack distributed across the GPUs and LPUs. Nvidia’s reference design has a relatively small number of GPUs handling the compute-heavy prompt-processing (prefill) phase, while the bandwidth-intensive decode phase, where tokens are generated, is split between a separate pool of GPUs and the LPUs.
During this decode phase, Nvidia takes advantage of GPUs’ comparatively large memory and compute capacity to handle the attention operations, while the bandwidth-constrained feed forward neural network ops are offloaded to LPUs sitting in the LPX rack over Ethernet.
Nvidia’s Dynamo disaggregated inference platform handles orchestration for all of this.
How many LPUs do you need?
The whole system requires a lot of LPUs.
The exact ratio of GPUs to LPUs depends on the workload. Tasks requiring extremely large contexts, batch sizes, or concurrency may need a larger pool of GPUs. A general-purpose chatbot might run well on a single rack.
This is because longer context windows require more memory for the key-value (KV) caches that store model state (think short-term memory) and attention operations. By keeping these on the GPU, Nvidia is able to get by with fewer LPUs.
The actual number of required LPUs is directly proportional to the size of a model. For a trillion-parameter model, that translates to between four and eight LPX racks, or 1,024 to 2,048 LPUs, depending on whether the weights are stored in SRAM at 4-bit or 8-bit precision.
Who is LPX for?
If you’re not a hyperscaler, neocloud, model dev, LPX is probably not for you. The sheer number of LPUs required to serve large open models will likely put Nvidia’s LPX platform out of reach for most enterprises.
Speaking to press ahead of this week’s keynote, Buck said Nvidia is focusing primarily on model builders and service providers that need to serve trillion-plus-parameter models with token rates exceeding 500 to 1,000 a second.
Having said that, in a technical blog, Nvidia presented another use case for the LPUs as a speculative decode accelerator, something we suggested the company might do back in December.
Speculative decoding is a method for juicing inference performance by using a smaller, more performant “draft” model to predict the outputs of a larger model. When it works, the technique can speed token generation by anywhere from 2x to 3x.
And since the approach fails back to the larger model anytime it guesses wrong, there’s no loss in quality or accuracy.
Nvidia proposes hosting the draft model on LPUs and the larger target model on a set of GPUs. Since draft models tend to be fairly small, this might present an opportunity for Nvidia to sell LPUs to enterprise customers.
What happened to Rubin CPX?
You may be scratching your head, wondering “wasn’t there supposed to be some kind of special Rubin chip optimized for large-context prefill processing?” You’re not hallucinating.
Back at Computex last northern spring, Nvidia unveiled the Rubin CPX, a version of Rubin that used slower, less expensive GDDR7 memory to speed up the time to first token – how long users or agents have to wait for the model to start generating an output – when working with large inputs.
The idea was that Rubin CPX could cut down on wait times for applications that might involve processing large quantities of documents, freeing up the non-CPX Rubins, and speeding up overall decode times.

However, by early 2026, Nvidia stopped mentioning CPX. This week, we learned the project had been put on the back burner so Nvidia can prioritize LPX.
It’s important to note that LPX is not a replacement for CPX. The two platforms were designed to accelerate opposite ends of the inference pipeline: LPUs are designed to speed up token generation during the decode phase, while CPX was intended to cut the time users or agents spent waiting for the model to respond during prefill.
Nvidia hasn’t given up on the concept either. Ian Buck, VP of Hyperscale and HPC at Nvidia, told press that CPX is still a good idea and that we may see the concept resurface in future generations.
An alphabet soup of rack scale architectures
While LPX is the most interesting addition to Nvidia’s rack-scale lineup, it’s not the only one.
At GTC, Nvidia also unveiled three more rack-scale designs, one each for networking, storage, and agentic compute.
We looked at Nvidia’s new Vera CPU racks in more detail earlier this week, but the system uses the same ETL network backplane as its LPX racks and HGX systems, and features 32 compute blades, each with eight 88-core Vera CPUs and up to 12 TB of LPDDR5X SOCAMM memory modules on board.
In addition to serving as the host processor on Nvidia’s latest generation products, the Vera CPU rack is intended as an execution environment for agentic systems, like Open Claw, that require high-memory bandwidth and single-threaded performance.
Alongside the CPU racks is a new storage rack called the BlueField-4 STX. As the name suggests, the reference design combines Nvidia’s BlueField-4 data processing units (DPUs, aka SmartNICs) with a Vera CPU and ConnectX-9 NICs. Nvidia intends this offering to serve as a KV-cache offload target.
Any time an LLM processes a prompt, it generates KV caches that store the model state in vectors. By keeping those pre-computed vectors in GPU or system memory, or flash storage, only new tokens have to be computed while repeating ones can be recycled from cache.
Earlier this year, Nvidia showed off its context-memory storage platform, which is meant to automate the offload of KV caches to compatible storage targets. The AI infrastructure giant claims that this approach can boost token rates by up to 5x by freeing up GPU resources to handle other elements of the inference pipeline.
Finally, there’s the Spectrum-6 SPX network rack, which also leverages the MGX ETL reference design to simplify cabling of Spectrum-X and Quantum-X switches.
Together, these rack systems form a sort of assembly line. Think of it this way: Vera CPU racks running AI agents make API calls to models running Vera-Rubin NVL72 systems with Groq LPX decode accelerators. KV caches generated by these agents are offloaded to STX storage, and everything is connected to one another by SPX racks packed with Spectrum or Quantum switches. And as long as the AI boom continues, Nvidia keeps printing money. ®

Denmark reportedly sent troops with explosives to Greenland amid U.S. threat
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Denmark prepared to sabotage Greenland’s airstrips using explosives and flew in blood supplies amid fears of a potential U.S. invasion earlier this year, according to a new report by Danish public broadcaster DR.
The measures were said to be part of a contingency plan that included deploying troops to the island in January with explosives for possible runway demolition, aimed at preventing U.S. aircraft from landing, EuroNews said.
The measures were outlined in a Danish military operations order dated Jan. 13, which DR said it had reviewed.

The preparations came as tensions escalated over President Donald Trump’s statement that the U.S. should control Greenland for national security reasons.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen repeatedly rejected Trump’s demands to acquire the island.
DR said it based its report on 12 sources within the highest levels of the Danish government and military, as well as sources among Denmark’s allies in France and Germany, the BBC said.

“When Trump says all the time that he wants to buy Greenland … we had to take all possible scenarios seriously,” an unnamed Danish military official told DR.
Denmark and several European allies also deployed troops to Greenland under what was a NATO exercise called Arctic Endurance.
In reality, according to the sources cited by DR, the deployment was operational.
Soldiers arrived equipped not only with standard military gear but also with the medical supplies and the explosives, the report said. France, Germany and Sweden also took part in the January deployment.
Despite the preparations, Danish authorities sought to avoid escalation with Washington.
Trump announced a vague “framework” agreement on Greenland with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte on Jan. 21, though details remain unclear.

At the World Economic forum in Davos Trump said: “I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.”
On March 17, the commander of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), Gen. Gregory Guillot, said, “We are working with Denmark through the Department of State to expand some of the authorities that are in the 1951 treaty to give increased access to different bases across Greenland.”
