SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says AI compute in space will be the lowest-cost option in 5 years — but Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it's a 'dream'

Elon Musk argues that terawatt-scale AI computing will soon be impossible to power and cool on Earth and must move to orbit. But despite abundant solar energy and radiative cooling in GEO, launch mass, radiation-hardening, and networking challenges make such space-based data center only a distant dream.

Anthropic signs $30 billion deal with Amazon to deploy Claude on AWS — Nvidia and Microsoft jointly invest $15 billion into AI firm as it becomes first provider across Azure, AWS and Google

Anthropic, Microsoft, and Nvidia have struck a joint partnership to run the Claude AI on Microsoft's Azure servers using Nvidia hardware. Anthropic will invest $30 billion in the move, as well as a guarantee to provide an additional gigawatt of compute performance. This deal could help all companies meet their existing commitments, but it adds extra inflation to the ballooning AI bubble.

Elon Musk wants foundry partners to build astounding '100 – 200 billion AI chips' per year — Musk says chipmaking industry can't deliver on his goals

Elon Musk claims Tesla may need 100 – 200 billion AI chips per year, a volume far beyond what TSMC and Samsung can supply, which is why he is considering building Tesla's own fab, as he believes existing foundries cannot scale fast enough for him.

JP Morgan says Nvidia is gearing up to sell entire AI servers instead of just AI GPUs and components — Jensen's master plan of vertical integration will boost Nvidia profits, purportedly starting with Vera Rubin

Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform may upend the AI-server market by shipping partners fully built L10 compute trays that include all compute, power, and cooling hardware, leaving OEMs and ODMs to handle only rack integration while Nvidia takes over the core server design, much of the value, and margins.

Jensen Huang confirms there are no plans to ship Blackwell GPUs to China right now, chipmaker at Beijing's mercy — Nvidia CEO says shipments haven't been approved by Chinese authorities

After President Trump and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated that Nvidia will be barred from selling its most advanced chips to China, Jensen Huang has now confirmed that there are currently no active discussions on the matter. In fact, Nvidia also requires authorization from China itself before it can sell GPUs to local firms.

Google deploys new Axion CPUs and seventh-gen Ironwood TPU — training and inferencing pods beat Nvidia GB300 and shape 'AI Hypercomputer' model

Google Cloud has launched new Axion CPU and Ironwood TPU instances that combine Arm-based general-purpose computing with 7th-generation AI acceleration. Ironwood-based pods with up to 9,216 chips and 42.5 FP8 ExaFLOPS per pod vastly surpass Nvidia's GB300 systems and form the foundation of Google's AI Hypercomputer for large-scale model training and inference.

‘China is going to win the AI race’ — Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang decries the price of electricity in the US, contrasts it with China's subsidized pricing

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that China will win the AI race because of its abundance of power and the fact that the U.S. is losing out on the chance for its hardware to become the standard tool that Chinese AI developers use.

Echoing Trump's sentiments, America's finance chief Bessent says the most advanced AI GPUs are restricted to home soil - China can have Blackwell chips once they're outdated

The U.S. Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent has highlighted a potential future where China could get its hands on Nvidia's current-gen flagship AI chips... when they're no longer the current-gen flagships. Washington is considering letting Nvidia sell Blackwell chips to China once they're outdated by at least a year or two.
