US Customs and Border Protection says its automated processing system can’t handle the scale of refunds from Trump-era tariffs, delaying billions in rebates even as courts order refunds with interest. The agency notes about $166 billion in IEEPA duties have been collected and that processing the 53.2 million entries would take more than 4.4 million hours with the current ACE system, but it plans a streamlined, importer‑focused system that could be up and running in about 45 days with new filing guidance, amid ongoing lawsuits from Nintendo, FedEx, Costco and others.

Nvidia's new AI-based solution for game developers called Nvidia Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) uses natural language models to add greater realism to in-game characters, making dialogue more dynamic and less scripted. ACE is built inside of Nvidia's Omniverse development platform and could impact the revenue growth of Nvidia's professional visualization segment. Nvidia already has a massive lead over AMD in the discrete GPU market and estimated 80% share of the AI chip market. While Nvidia's stock is expensive, a near-term recovery in graphics-related revenue is a catalyst for accelerating revenue growth on top of the strong demand coming for AI chips.
Nvidia's new AI technology, ACE, is set to revolutionize the gaming industry by replacing a significant number of jobs in game development, including animators, lighting experts, and writers. The AI is capable of generating dialogue, voice, and animation in real-time, making it possible for smaller teams or even individuals to create complex games. While this is great news for game studios and players, it will result in job losses for many in the industry.
