JWST TRGB distances to 10 SN Ia hosts update calibrations for 11 SNe yielding H0 of 68.4-69.6 km/s/Mpc and show modest shifts when combined with prior HST data.

abstract
I review the latest results on the calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a standard candle, in the optical and in the near infrared. The agreement among different and independent empirical calibrations is rather good, if all the uncertainties are taken into account. The possible extension of the calibration to SDSS photometric bands (i,z) is also discussed.

Synthetic stellar population models show TRGB luminosity varies by at most 0.028 mag from typical changes in alpha enhancement, age, and helium at fixed metallicity, confirming its robustness as a distance indicator.
