Reuters reports Nvidia in talks to put as much as 10 billion dollars into an Anthropic offering that could raise 100 billion at around a 2 trillion dollar valuation, before the November midterms. Anthropic buys Nvidia chips. The money and the hardware would be moving in a circle.
Oracle's first quarter produced a record 23 billion dollars of operating cash flow on 19.3 billion of revenue — and free cash flow was still negative 5 billion. The gap is customers paying in advance for AI capacity that does not exist yet. The backlog behind it is 664 billion dollars.
The Office of Strategic Capital is in talks to lend Fluidstack about 5 billion dollars — roughly six times its previous largest commitment — for manufacturing capacity in data-centre components, not a facility. A defence industrial-base lender now files AI infrastructure alongside rare earths and drone parts.
Crusoe raised over 3 billion dollars at a 30 billion valuation, roughly tripling in eleven months. The catalyst reported days earlier was a 13 billion dollar, five-year contract for GPU capacity — signed not by an AI lab but by Jane Street.
The 12.93 billion dollar deal for Hugging Face is confirmed in an SEC filing, not a rumour. The company that already sells the hardware models train and run on now owns the place 3 million of them are distributed from — and a hub is not storage, it is the default resolver.
A viral explainer says China makes about three times America's electricity, so the AI race comes down to power. China's installed capacity is about 3x. Its actual electricity is 2.3x. The gap between those two figures is wind and solar nameplate, and it is the difference between a number that sounds decisive and a number that runs a training cluster overnight.
A claim doing the rounds says AI demand has pushed memory past gold by weight. Gold closed at $150.34 a gram; a 32GB DDR5 kit at $400 works out around $4 to $5. The claim is wrong by a factor of about thirty. What is true: DRAM is on course to rise more than 400% from early 2024, and AI will take a fifth of the world's supply.
Anthropic's status page logged elevated errors across multiple models, Opus 5 among them, from 05:06 UTC on 24 August, with the cause identified 21 minutes later. The API, Claude Code, claude.ai and Cowork all showed partial outages. It is the second multi-model incident in four days, and the 90-day uptime numbers are where the pattern shows.
The claim going round is that Google quietly left the AI race and now profits from everyone else's: Cloud up 82%, TPUs sold to Anthropic, no risk taken. The growth figure is exactly right. The risk part is not — Google took roughly 20% of an Anthropic data centre and agreed to cover the lease and power if Anthropic defaults.
CVE-2026-64849 is an unauthenticated SSRF in MLflow's webhook test endpoint, CVSS 9.3, fixed in 3.15.0. The check on the destination was real; it just was not pinned, so a redirect or a second DNS answer walked straight past it into cloud metadata. watchTowr saw exploitation attempts the same day the CVE was assigned.
DRAM contract prices nearly doubled in a quarter as Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron moved capacity to the stacked memory that feeds AI accelerators. Device makers are responding with higher prices — and, more quietly, by holding RAM configurations still.
