Microsoft’s newest Fairwater 2 data center redefines the scale of AI training, while Satya Nadella outlines a multi‑layered approach to AGI—from infrastructure to business models. The interview reveals how Microsoft balances raw compute, custom silicon, and a diversified AI ecosystem to stay ahead of the hyperscale race.

Nvidia is reportedly set to revolutionize the AI hardware supply chain by shipping fully assembled compute trays for its upcoming Vera Rubin platform, taking integration to unprecedented levels. This move, starting with the VR200, will standardize the core of AI servers while shifting partners' roles to mere integrators, potentially boosting Nvidia's margins and control. As power demands soar, this vertical integration could reshape the industry, but it raises questions about ecosystem openness.

Anthropic's $50 billion investment in custom-built data centers signals a major shift in how AI companies secure computing power, potentially setting new standards for the industry while raising questions about sustainability and the widening gap between tech giants and startups.

With gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b, OpenAI has stepped back into the open-weight arena—and straight into the plans of US military contractors who need air-gapped, customizable AI. The models aren’t yet best-in-class, but their mere existence is reshaping how defense, intelligence, and critical industries think about autonomy, trust, and vendor lock-in in the LLM era.

Google is betting that its new Private AI Compute stack can deliver agentic, cloud-scale intelligence to Android devices while preserving the trust of on-device processing. For developers and security teams, this isn’t just a feature drop—it’s a high-stakes test of whether hyperscale AI can truly be privacy-first, not just privacy-branded.

U.S. electricity prices are up 40% since 2020, and the AI boom is no longer an abstract factor—it’s an infrastructure event. Behind every clever chatbot and lightning-fast model inference is a ravenous data center fleet reshaping grid planning, regulatory policy, and ultimately what developers and households pay for power.
