Dream has raised $260 million at a $3 billion valuation, but the bigger story is the growing demand for sovereign AI as governments look to control their own artificial intelligence infrastructure instead of relying on foreign providers.
SK hynix has begun sampling its 12-layer HBM4E memory, a next-generation AI-focused DRAM designed to deliver higher performance, lower latency, and improved power efficiency.
A new IBM study suggests many enterprises are becoming increasingly dependent on AI vendors while lacking a clear understanding of the risks. The findings raise questions about vendor lock-in, data sovereignty, and what happens when critical AI services fail.
KKR is making a massive bet on the future of artificial intelligence. The investment giant has launched Helix Digital Infrastructure with more than $10 billion in committed capital, backed by NVIDIA, Vistra, and the Kuwait Investment Authority. Led by former AWS CEO Adam Selipsky, the new company aims to build the data centers, power infrastructure, and connectivity needed to fuel the next phase of AI expansion.
Meta has launched America’s Workforce Academy, a new skilled trades initiative that offers free training, industry certifications, and guaranteed jobs for graduates. The company says the program will help build the workforce needed for America’s growing AI infrastructure boom, though some may worry a flood of new workers could eventually impact wages in the trades.
Governments around the world are pushing sovereign AI initiatives to reduce dependence on foreign cloud providers and protect national data. There is just one awkward problem though. Nearly all of this supposedly independent AI infrastructure still runs on NVIDIA hardware and software. As countries build AI factories across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the global AI race increasingly looks less diversified and more dependent on a single American company.
Samsung has started shipping industry first HBM4E memory samples as the AI infrastructure race pushes demand for faster bandwidth, better thermals, and improved power efficiency in next generation data centers.
OWC is acquiring PowerON Services as AI infrastructure upgrades accelerate hardware replacement cycles. The deal focuses on extending device lifespans, recovering value from aging equipment, and reducing unnecessary tech waste.
Microsoft says its first self-built data center campus helped transform Quincy, Washington from a struggling farming town into a growing tech hub with better jobs, lower poverty, and major public investments. But is Big Tech rewriting the narrative around AI infrastructure?
A new report claims only 8 percent of organizations fully understand the true cost of serving AI features. As GPU bills rise and pricing models remain messy, the AI industry may be running into a profitability problem nobody wants to discuss.
Elon Musk’s AI empire appears to be expanding again after a mysterious SpaceX subsidiary reportedly acquired the Colossus I data center property in Memphis for $185 million.
Kioxia and Dell Technologies say a new 2U PowerEdge server configuration can scale to an enormous 9.8PB of flash storage using 245.76TB NVMe SSDs.
