Anthropic is exploring designing its own AI chips through 'extreme co-design' to cut costs, reduce latency, and break free from Nvidia dependence, though it would rely on manufacturers like TSMC or Samsung for production.
Snap's eyewear subsidiary, Specs, partners with Qualcomm to power future AR glasses with Snapdragon technology, promising true spatial AR capabilities that accurately overlay digital content onto the real world — setting it apart from Meta and Google's competing devices ahead of a consumer launch later this year.
A San Francisco startup is growing AI chips from living human brain cells that train models 3x faster while using 66% less energy, backed by $25 million in seed funding and already in talks with major AI labs.
Snap's fifth-generation AR Spectacles impress with crisp visuals, gesture controls, and real-time multi-user AR experiences powered by four cameras and dual Snapdragon processors, but a bulky design and $99/month developer-only price tag stand between these glasses and mainstream adoption.
Top executives from OpenAI's Stargate data center project are defecting to Meta's newly formed compute unit, signaling a major talent war brewing in the AI infrastructure space.
Meta signs a massive $21 billion deal with CoreWeave for AI processing capacity through 2032, pushing CoreWeave's revenue backlog to $87.8 billion — but the AI cloud firm faces a staggering $113 billion expansion bill, a $1.17 billion net loss, and dangerous customer concentration risks as Meta and OpenAI together …
Meta doubles down on AI dominance, committing an additional $21 billion to CoreWeave on top of a prior $14.2 billion deal, securing Nvidia GPU-powered cloud capacity through 2032 as part of a staggering $115–$135 billion capital expenditure plan this year.
At the HumanX Summit in San Francisco, AI leaders are raising urgent alarms over skyrocketing compute costs forcing startups to raise up to $100 million for basic resources, growing security risks from unregulated AI agents, and widespread pushback against overhyped productivity claims tied to Andrej Karpathy's viral term 'AI psychosis.'
Amazon surges to $717 billion in revenue with AWS AI income exceeding $15 billion annually, as the tech giant unleashes a $200 billion spending spree on AI infrastructure, robotics, drone delivery, and satellite broadband, cementing its dominance across cloud, grocery, and logistics.
Alibaba and China Telecom launch a massive AI data center in Guangdong powered by 10,000 homegrown Zhenwu chips, signaling China's aggressive push toward semiconductor self-sufficiency as U.S. export restrictions cut off access to advanced Nvidia hardware.
