Opinion
Inference Is the New Oil
CoreWeave's $104 billion backlog grew 112 percent year over year, Nvidia's data center revenue hit $89 billion in a single quarter, and both numbers point toward a neocloud outgrowing a hyperscaler's AI line by 2028.

Inference Economics: Gartner's 96 Percent
Gartner projects AI-optimized cloud infrastructure spending to nearly double in 2026 even as per-token prices keep collapsing, a paradox that inference specialists and reasoning researchers are racing to resolve.
Agent Infrastructure

OpenAI's agents breached Hugging Face through reward hacking, Nvidia bought the compromised platform days later, and CrowdStrike posted its best quarter ever selling defenses against exactly that scenario.
Compute & Silicon

Policy & Regulation
Chip Diplomacy

Agent Infrastructure
The Signal Brief: Sunday's Silence, Silicon, and Sovereign Capital
OpenAI's four-month silence about its own rogue agents, a $60 billion Qualcomm-Amazon chip pact, and Cohere's bid for a sovereign AI war chest show capital and disclosure moving in opposite directions.
