The new strategies could help CoreWeave finance its growth more efficiently while squeezing more cash from existing infrastructure. But these bets only hold if today’s demand and pricing power continue. CoreWeave reported $3.66 billion in revenue, up 168% from the year prior, but it also posted a $709 million net loss and $846 million in quarterly interest expense. “We will not use the unsecured debt market to fund our business at current yields, nor do we

Even if Huang is pushed out as CEO, the board members he has made very rich are unlikely to cut him loose entirely. Barring another shoe dropping, they could keep him on as chairman, a role Nvidia doesn’t currently have. But someone still has to run the company, and there’s no apparent succession plan, which leaves us, like everyone else, to speculate while we wait to see what happens next. While Huang’s 60 direct reports undoubtedly get a closer look, con

This week, nine early-stage South Korean startups pitched at DETO 2026, a technology conference in Seoul, to earn a spot in next year’s Startup Battlefield 200. The startups work across the deep tech sector, including healthcare, fintech, energy, semiconductors, and AI. All nine startups are looking to enter the U.S. market as part of the broader international expansion plans. Voinosis, which develops AI to detect changes in brain health through voice anal

The company said in its latest security advisory that the cybercriminals took Fireworks’ customers’ billing information and some datasets. Fireworks touts tens of thousands of customers worldwide using its platform, including legal tech company Harvey and AI company Cursor. At least one confirmed affected customer is online document editor and notetaker Notion, which said in a disclosure that the breach affected around 1% of its own customers. Notion said

The fund will be invested across various sectors and multiple countries, notably the United States, India, and Israel. But the big story here is AI, and Norwest’s plans to expand its investment in this area. Norwest said Thursday it aims to capitalize on AI startups developing products and services across core industries such as consumer, healthcare, and technology. The investment firm, which has backed Plaid, Spotify, Uber, and Vuori, said it will continu

This is a shocking twist for one of the most valuable companies in the world, which designs the chips that make the AI boom possible. Few people would have predicted this turn of events even just a week ago, as Huang has been so central to Nvidia throughout the company’s existence that he never even established a succession plan. But Huang has now been ousted after reports that he had affairs with both an alleged Chinese spy and one of his direct reports a

In this case, one of his lovers is suspected by the U.S. government of being a spy for China. She’s also an executive of a Singapore-based neocloud that is suspected of smuggling Nvidia chips to China. These affairs show undeniably poor judgment by Huang and, I’d argue, unchecked hubris on many levels. Such choices are not only a betrayal of his wife of 40 years, they’re also a liability for his company. Sleeping with any Nvidia partner is bad enough, but

Rather than giving consumers yet another photo-editing tool, Phota Labs aims to use advances in AI to automate the editing process so it’s easier for anyone to get access to better photos. The a16z-backed startup was founded by Cecilia Zhang and Zach Xia, who met at Adobe while working on computational photography products, including Project Indigo, Lightroom, and Photoshop. The duo saw a gap in the editing tools on the market and believed that although ed

Witness its $30 billion bet on OpenAI in early 2025 or its announcement in February that its SB Energy subsidiary would spend $33 billion on a 9.2-gigawatt natural gas power plant. If you can’t be first, be biggest, I guess. That philosophy apparently spilled over into procurement, where orders were also supersized. Starting about two years ago, SoftBank reportedly put down deposits on more than 13 gigawatts of turbines, almost 50% more than it needed. The

“This whole thing sucks, and I wish none of it had happened. It’s a really sad day! But I want to make one thing clear: we’ll keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever. This is too important to slow down now. Let’s go!,” Delangue wrote on X. This whole thing sucks, and I wish none of it had happened. It’s a really sad day!But I want to make one thing clear: we’ll keep fighting for open-source AI, harder than ever. This is too important to slow dow

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after he admitted to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, raising concerns about U.S. national security and the motives behind the executive’s support for softer chip export controls on China. Huang has been a staunch supporter of open source AI, framing the ecosystem as good for safety, innovation, diffusion, and sovereignty. And as frontier AI labs increasingly move to reduce their reliance on Nvidia and build

Founded by sisters Misbah and Farah Uraizee, both former Meta employees, Nectar came out of stealth last year and uses AI agents to help brands manage social media, customer conversations, content moderation, creator partnerships, and competitor research. Announced Thursday, its new “Creator Agent” can search for creators, check their content and brand partnerships, send personalized messages, coordinate collaborations, and monitor how campaigns perform.

While Google’s frontier models, Gemini 4 Carbon and Gemini 4 Argon, are best at deep reasoning for hard problems, Hydrogen is designed for fast execution across a variety of agentic workflows, or tasks in which an AI carries out multiple steps on its own, the company explained in an announcement. The idea behind the model’s release is that using the most powerful model isn’t always needed — sometimes a faster, cheaper, and reasonably smart one will do. Goo

Nebius plans to fund the buildout by relying on customer pre-payments and loans backed by customer contracts — essentially using the future value of its data centers to finance their construction. But that can be a risky strategy if those projects get bogged down by delays or cancellations. “Building at this scale is hard, and delays are part of our industry right now,” CEO Arkady Volozh said during Thursday’s earnings call. “We are not immune.” The earnin

By early Thursday morning, Huang was no longer CEO of the company he co-founded 33 years ago. Then, Thursday afternoon, Reuters dropped another bombshell, publishing a report alleging that Huang had yet another extramarital affair with another unnamed Nvidia employee. The U.S. and China are embroiled in a fierce technological arms race to build the most advanced AI infrastructure, which could shape each country’s economic future, military prowess, and capa

Meta’s Muse, which now has over 10 million users, the company said last month, has been working to make consumer AI a mainstream product for everyday users. Placing calls is one of the ways it aims to get there, as it could handle another task on people’s to-do lists. Notes Alexandr Wang, Meta’s chief AI officer and head of its Superintelligence Labs division, the feature could be used to take care of calls people don’t want to make, like those to their ca

Huang was removed from the company he founded after he confessed to an extramarital affair with a woman accused of being a Chinese spy. (He has since been accused of having more affairs, with Nvidia employees.) The alleged Chinese spy, Alice Huang, was an executive of Nvidia customer Megaspeed, a Singapore-based company that U.S. officials suspect of helping route advanced Nvidia chips into China. The Democratic inquiry comes from Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass
