The surge in valuation reflects not only Databricks’ rapid financial growth but al

Google’s latest move in the race to dominate artificial intelligence marks one of the most ambitious infrastructure investments in U.S. tech history. The company has announced a sweeping $40 billion commitment to build three new data centers across Texas, a state rapidly emerging as the epicenter of AI infrastructure thanks to its vast land availability, relatively low energy costs, and business-friendly climate (Pequeno IV). With this development, Texas is poised to host mor

mimik, a global pioneer in device-first Continuum AI and agentic software, has taken a major step toward redefining artificial intelligence infrastructure by launching mimik UAE in partnership with Next71 Ltd and ASK Holding LLC.

At its annual developer conference, the company unveiled two new AI processors, the M100 and M300, positioned as powerful, low-cost, domestically controlled alternatives for Chinese enterprises seeking to reduce reliance on U.S. technology. The M100, designed primarily

SoftBank Group Corp. has once again made headlines with its decision to sell its entire stake in Nvidia Corp. for $5.83 billion, a move aimed at fueling its growing investments in artificial intelligence. The sale, though surprising to some investors, reflects founder Masayoshi Son’s ambition to position SoftBank as a dominant player in the expanding AI ecosystem (Bloomberg; Wall Street Journal). Son’s vision extends beyond software and into large-scale infrastructure, from S

Google’s latest innovation in artificial intelligence hardware marks a significant step toward the future of computing, as the company unveils its seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit, dubbed Ironwood . These custom-built chips are designed specifically for artificial intelligence workloads and signal a major shift toward what Google calls the “age of inference.” Unlike Nvidia’s general-purpose GPUs, Google’s TPUs are application-specific integrated circuits, meaning the

Artificial intelligence has driven a wave of massive infrastructure projects across Wisconsin, where major tech firms are investing billions to build sprawling data centers. These facilities, which power AI models and cloud computing, have become a symbol of both technological progress and growing concern. Supporters see them as engines of economic growth, while environmentalists and residents warn that their enormous energy and water demands threaten the state’s resources an

OpenAI is urging the United States government to dramatically expand its electricity generation, warning that without a massive increase in power supply, America risks losing its lead in artificial intelligence to China. In a letter to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, the company called for the construction of 100 gigawatts of new energy capacity each year, nearly double the total that the U.S. added in 2024, to meet the growing demands of AI infrastru

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and OpenAI have entered a monumental $38 billion, multi-year partnership that underscores both companies’ growing ambitions in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
