Juan Pedro TomásDell’Oro’s research director Alex Cordovil said that neoclouds help diversify GPU demand away from a handful of hyperscalers In sum – what to know: Rack densities accelerating toward 600 kW require higher-voltage power designs – Operators must adopt new electrical architectures, tools and training to manage efficiency, safety, and costs. North America leads expansion thanks to AI labs and power …
An Omdia analyst told RCR Wireless News that AI adoption is now accelerating beyond customer-facing functions and becoming embedded in core network operations In sum – what to know: AI is moving deeper into networks – Telcos are expanding predictive and gen AI use cases from customer service to fault management, dynamic resource allocation, and real-time traffic forecasting, according to …
With hyperscalers consuming large portions of grid capacity, neoclouds in regions such as the Nordics and Germany are increasingly securing new power allocations for AI-focused builds In sum – what to know: Cost, sovereignty, and faster GPU access drive adoption – offering clear advantages for AI R&D, model developers, and regulated industries. Hyperscaler lock-in and limited ecosystems remain major barriers …
Susana SchwartzIn a discussion about inferencing it became clear that ‘getting AI out to end users’ at SMBs and enterprises requires rapid distribution of high-end CPUs or low-end GPUs at massive scale, to edge locations, and at low latency. In the world of AI infrastructure, there’s a trend toward pre-validated “turnkey” IaaS solutions that span bare metal servers to fully integrated …
Sulagna Saha The rising tide of AI — and circular deals like CoreWeave and Meta — are starting to spill into supporting industries, including test and measurement AI companies continue to pour money into infrastructure in a trend that promises to boost many adjacent industries. Meta’s multibillion-dollar deal with CoreWeave is a case in point. Pegged at $14.2 billion, the partnership will …
Sean Kinney One stop at a time Author’s note: I’m one of those AuDHD people you encounter in tech, media and tech media. CES and Las Vegas are exhausting, but I wanted to get this written while still having some fun. So, I landed on a format where I write a section, have a drink, take the monorail one stop, then repeat. …
Christian de LooperYou don’t have to own the hardware for AI. But should you? Every organization building with AI eventually has to decide whether to own the hardware or rent it. This isn’t necessarily always a financial calculation. It touches data security, talent pipelines, hardware obsolescence, and the fundamentally unpredictable nature of AI workloads. A startup spinning up its first large language …
Will open-source chips democratize the industry? In the early 1990s, a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds released a free operating system kernel called Linux. This new operating system, together with projects like Apache, proved that collaborative, open-source development could produce software that competes with and surpasses propriety alternatives. These days, Linux runs on everything from smartphones to supercomputers, and open-source …
Non-exclusive agreement transfers key talent and technology while Groq remains independent In sum – what we know: Nvidia and chip startup Groq have announced a non-exclusive licensing agreement reportedly worth around $20 billion. The announcement turned heads immediately — not just because of the price tag, which clocks in at nearly three times Groq’s $6.9 billion valuation from just months earlier, but …
