OpenAI and Broadcom Unveil Jalapeño Inference Chip - 📅 - OpenAI and Broadcom have unveiled Jalapeño, a custom inference accelerator designed around large language models, claiming early lab results show better performance per watt than current leading systems, as OpenAI extends its infrastructure ambitions from models and products into silicon intended for gigawatt-scale data centers beginning with partners by late 2026 and, eventually, more generations of hardware.

The chip is being framed as OpenAI's first Intelligence Processor, which is grand language for a simple industrial reality: the company does not want to remain fully dependent on other people's accelerators as inference demand becomes the expensive center of the AI business. [...]
QCi Acquires NHanced to Advance Quantum Chip Manufacturing - 📅 - Quantum Computing Inc. has completed its acquisition of NHanced Semiconductors for $73.1 million in cash and stock, with up to $72 million more tied to performance targets, giving the quantum optics and integrated photonics company a larger U.S. manufacturing base as it tries to convert prototypes into commercial photonic and quantum hardware at scale for real customers.

The deal is about control. Not the abstract kind. Process control, packaging control, testing control, customer delivery control. QCi has been talking about moving from research-driven innovation and prototyping into scalable commercial production, and NHanced gives it a more substantial answer to the obvious question [...]
Ionic Digital Raises $400M For AI Infrastructure Growth - 📅 - Ionic Digital, headquartered in Coral Gables, Florida, has raised $400 million in a private equity placement led by Attestor, Oaktree Capital Management and Sachem Head Capital Management, adding institutional capital as demand for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure keeps lifting appetite for power-heavy digital assets. Citadel and Weiss Asset Management also joined the round, valuing the company at $2 billion before new money.

For infrastructure buyers, the transaction says something fairly direct: capital is still available for platforms that can plausibly serve the compute buildout. Not everywhere. Not cheaply. But available.

Ionic Digital describes itself as a digital [...]
Deloitte, IBM, Red Hat Target Automated Software Supply Chain Threats - 📅 - Deloitte, IBM and Red Hat are tying Deloitte's cyber services to Lightwell, a remediation model aimed at shielding enterprise software supply chains as automated attacks shorten the time from vulnerability disclosure to exploitation, while giving companies a way to patch production open source components without immediately moving the applications that depend on them to newer stable versions.

The deal is less about another scanner and more about who owns the ugly middle of remediation. Enterprises already know their applications are stitched together from internal code, open source packages, and commercial software from vendors that may or may not move fast enough. The hard part is not [...]
OVHcloud Public Cloud Growth Tops 20% as AI Plans Expand - 📅 - OVHcloud reported faster third-quarter growth as public cloud revenue rose more than 20%, helped by starter products, corporate demand and fresh AI moves. The French cloud provider confirmed its fiscal 2026 targets, including positive levered free cash flow, while highlighting a European Commission sovereign-cloud win and planned Gladia acquisition during a crowded quarter for cloud infrastructure announcements.

For OVHcloud, the quarter is partly about numbers. €289.6 million in revenue, up 6.9% like for like. Nine-month revenue of €844.9 million, up 6.0%. Nothing explosive. But the shape is more interesting than the total.

Public Cloud is doing the work. Revenue in that segment reached [...]

CBRE Warns Data Center Scarcity Will Push Rents Higher - 📅 - The supply of data centers worldwide is still falling behind AI and hyperscale demand, according to CBRE. With vacancy rates in key North American regions reaching record lows and power shortages postponing new capacity until the following ten years. According to its 2026 research, as operators pursue land and electricity worldwide, increasing rents, changing site plans, and developing markets are becoming more significant.

The headline number is not just inventory growth. It is the mismatch.

Across major regions, operators are adding capacity at historic levels and still not creating much room for buyers. Latin America's leading markets grew inventory by 41.3% year-over-year in Q1 2026. [...]
Aston Martin Aramco Picks Zscaler for F1 Cybersecurity - 📅 - Aston Martin Aramco has named Zscaler as its global cybersecurity partner under a multi-year agreement, adding zero-trust security to a Formula One operation built around real-time telemetry, race strategy and UK-based engineering workflows. Zscaler's platform will secure access between the race team, applications and data systems without exposing the underlying network, the companies said today publicly.

Formula One sponsorships are often brand theater. This one has a more operational edge.

A modern F1 team is an engineering business with wheels attached. The car is a sensor platform. The garage is a field office. The factory is a high-performance computing and design environment. Race [...]
Linux Foundation Unveils Akrites for AI-Era Open Source Defense - 📅 - The Linux Foundation has launched Akrites, a coordinated security effort backed by AWS, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, JPMorganChase and others to find, fix and disclose vulnerabilities in critical open source software before AI-enabled attackers exploit them. The initiative creates a shared response team and disclosure process for code underpinning banks, hospitals, telecoms, power grids and governments worldwide.

The premise is blunt: open source security has become too important, too exposed and too under-coordinated for the old model to hold.

Akrites arrives with a long list of founding participants, including Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Chainguard, Cisco, Citi, Endor [...]
Cloud.ru Builds First Owned Data Center in Moscow Region - 📅 - Cloud.ru has begun building its first owned data center in the Moscow region, aiming for a 2027 launch as Russian enterprise and government demand for cloud and AI capacity keeps rising. Chief Executive Mikhail Lobotsky disclosed the project to Vedomosti, but withheld the site, expected power-usage efficiency and capital spending, leaving some large questions for buyers too.

The reported scale is modest by hyperscale standards, but not trivial in Russia's constrained infrastructure market. Cloud.ru says the facility will have roughly 11 MW of capacity and support as many as 890 racks at up to 20 kW each. Reliability is expected to meet Tier III requirements. Two Vedomosti sources in the [...]
