I must add my own view the Treasury deployment is moving at such speed I doubt it can meet its own deadline as well as incorporate all their own objectives. There is a parallel and … Continue reading New tensions for Banks from regulators on both sides of Atlantic with deadlines

The deal also underscores Nvidia’s increasingly unusual position in the market: it is not just selling chips, but financing parts of the ecosystem that buy and deploy them. Why that matters goes beyond one funding deal. AI infrastructure … Continue reading Nvidia backs AI cloud startup Nebius with $2B as data center race intensifies
