University challenge 🎓-  Canadian universities slide in global rankings, Nvidia unveils new laptop chip.

In today’s episode of The Peak Daily, we break down why nearly every Canadian university slid in the latest global rankings, and what tightening funding and declining international student revenue could mean for research, hiring, and programs.

Then, we look at Nvidia’s big swing into the laptop market with its new RTX Spark Superchip, and why the world’s most valuable company wants to bring AI compute from data centres to personal devices.

Plus, in The Big Picture: Anthropic confidentially files for an IPO, Ottawa commits $\$100 million$ to expand an AI healthcare project nationwide, and Canada Post workers approve a new five-year contract.
