Six co-designed chips, supply chain twice the size of Grace Blackwell, with AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, and OCI deploying instances in H2 2026 (NVIDIA). If inference really drops 10x, the economics of always-on agents change at the root. The cost crisis in story one is partl...
72-GPU racks with 50 PFLOPS/GPU, 260 TB/s NVLink 6, BlueField-4 AI-native storage for agentic KV-cache sharing. H2 2026 availability from AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, CoreWeave, and Nebius. NVIDIA Newsroom
NVIDIA's Blackwell successor is in production ahead of schedule. The NVL72 rack (72 GPUs) delivers 3.6 exaFLOPS for inference, with 288GB HBM4 per GPU. NVIDIA claims 10x lower cost-per-token versus Blackwell. The Rubin CPX variant — purpose-built for million-token inference —...
Meta Compute will sell excess AI compute and model access against AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, backed by up to roughly $145B in 2026 infrastructure spend. CoreWeave shares fell 14% on July 8 as the market read Meta as a credible neocloud threat. For anyone renting GPUs, anoth...
The most consequential partnership in AI just got rewritten. Bloomberg reports that Microsoft and OpenAI restructured their deal: Microsoft loses exclusive rights to resell OpenAI models, and in exchange stops paying revenue share on OpenAI products it resells through Azure. O...
NVIDIA and AWS announced June 23 that NVIDIA's cuVS library now powers GPU-accelerated vector indexing as the default in Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, claiming up to 10x faster index builds at roughly a quarter the cost versus CPU-only, making billion-scale vector DBs buildabl...
