GPUs, silicon, data centres and the data platforms underneath.
Decentralizing the Brain: Nvidia's RTX Spark Aims to Unshackle Personal AI from the Cloud
Nvidia's RTX Spark SoC promises to bring high-performance Blackwell graphics, Grace CPU cores, and massive unified memory to slim PCs, enabling users to run complex AI agents and locally tuned language models completely offline.
Ampera's Breakthrough: 3D-Printed Thorium Microreactor for Datacenters
US startup Ampera has unveiled a prototype for a subcritical, 3D-printed thorium microreactor designed to provide scalable, emission-free power for datacenters and defense applications, with potential future implications for space exploration and aerospace energy infrastructure.
Ireland's Datacenter Power Demand Climbs 10 Percent Despite Regulatory Moratorium
Following the latest figures from the Central Statistics Office, Irish datacenter electricity consumption reached 23 percent of the nation's total metered usage in 2025, even with grid connection restrictions in place.
AI Investment ROI: Why Data Delivery is the New GPU Constraint
As enterprise AI initiatives scale, performance is hitting a data delivery wall. Learn why the bottleneck to AI ROI is shifting from compute to the storage-to-compute boundary and how re-architecting for decoupled, resilient infrastructure is critical for success.
C-BRAIN: Open-Source AI Scientist Accelerating Alzheimer's Drug Discovery
The Consortium for Biomedical Research and Artificial Intelligence in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN) launches three open-source AI tools to address the 99% failure rate of Alzheimer's drug candidates, using federated architecture and dark data analysis to accelerate neurodegenerative disease research.
Wayve Is the Traditional Automakers’ Silicon Valley Escape Hatch
How a London startup is becoming the autonomous driving partner of choice for legacy automakers tired of Silicon Valley’s all-or-nothing playbook.
Microsoft’s Renewable Energy Claim Masks 25% Surge in Emissions from AI Datacenter Boom
Despite matching 100% of electricity use with renewables, Microsoft’s greenhouse gas emissions rose 25% in 2025 due to explosive growth in AI infrastructure — a paradox exposing the limits of procurement-based sustainability.
New York Just Hit the Brakes on Data Centers — And It's Only Getting Started
Gov. Kathy Hochul signs executive order temporarily barring permits for data centers 50MW or larger, setting a precedent as the first state-level moratorium on AI infrastructure.
DeepSeek’s 75% price cut is a warning shot — not the endgame for AI infrastructure
DeepSeek slashed its V4-Pro API price by 75%, but that headline move masks a deeper infrastructure bottleneck: the 100x efficiency gap between raw inference cost and sustainable AI scale.
AI’s Insatiable Appetite for Power Is Running Up Against Neuromorphic Reality
UK policymakers hear why brain-inspired neuromorphic computing could trim edge AI’s carbon footprint—but won’t displace mature cloud infrastructure for years
HCL Is Building AI Datacenters—Here’s Why the Full Stack Matters More Than Renting Compute
HCLTech has launched an AI datacenter business backed by ₹3,500 crore ($36.5M) to deliver sovereign AI capabilities in India and compete on full-stack infrastructure—design, DevOps, cloud ops, and software—instead of commodity compute.
The Experimentation Trap: Why AI-Accelerated Growth Teams Build Fast and Decide Poorly
In the AI era, building experiences has become virtually free, while scaling meaningful outcomes remains rare. This piece explores how to build a high-threshold testing framework, using recent industry milestones from Miro, Reforge, and Statsig to outline how teams must pivot from velocity to judgment.
