Nvidia, rocked by CEO's sudden resignation, has ties to Sacramento-area AI plans

A major chipmaker whose founder and chief executive abruptly resigned Thursday had ties to a proposed artificial intelligence hub in the Sacramento area. Jensen Huang resigned as president , chief executive officer and a board member of Nvidia, the company said. He cofounded the company in 1993. Huang, 63, apologized Sunday for being “unfaithful to my wife,” CNBC reported. His apology followed reports that he had an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, an Nvidia customer. Alice Huang, who is not related to the former CEO, is reportedly suspected of being a Chinese spy, according to news reports. Jensen Huang also reportedly had an affair with Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at the chipmaker. Colette Kress, Nvidia’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, was named interim CEO, the company said. Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, is a leading manufacturer of chips used to power artificial intelligence systems. What are Nvidia’s ties to Sacramento? In October 2025, Nvidia discussed plans to establish an AI innovation hub in Rancho Cordova in partnership with the Human Machine Collaboration Institute. The project was intended to “boost the city’s AI capabilities with AI infrastructure, workforce upskilling and student training,”

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid! Some of them were over 10+ checks probably more! Some servers are owed over 10k in tips,” the caption says. The

Rocklin approves 281 apartments despite parking concerns. Here's what changed

A divided Rocklin City Council approved a 281-unit affordable housing project Tuesday, capping a contentious review process marked by neighborhood opposition, parking disputes and concerns about the city's limited authority under state housing laws. The council voted 3-2 to approve the Midas Apartments, with Mayor Bass and Councilmember Ken Broadway opposed. The approval included several changes to the development plan, including a restriction preventing non-emergency vehicles from exiting the property onto Midas Avenue. The project includes 278 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with three manager units. Parking remained one of the biggest concerns throughout the review process. Under Rocklin’s parking standards, the development would normally require 578 spaces. The approved plan instead provides 401, with adjustments permitted as long as the total remains at least 397. The developer previously added 25 parking spaces after an August council meeting by reducing some planned landscaping. Why the city cannot require more parking The project is located about 0.39 miles from the Rocklin Amtrak station. Under Assembly Bill 2097, which took effect in 2023, cities generally cannot require minimum parking for qualifying developments within a half-mile of certain public transit stops. Although the
