Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments

Sferical AI: Sweden’s Sovereign AI Supercomputer with Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments
AstraZeneca, Ericsson, Saab, SEB, and Wallenberg Investments have launched Sferical AI to build and operate a sovereign AI supercomputer that anchors Sweden's next phase of industrial digitization. Sferical AI plans to deploy two NVIDIA DGX Super PODs based on the latest DGX GB300 systems in Linkping. The installation will combine 1,152 tightly interconnected GPUs, designed for fast training and fine-tuning of large, complex models. Sovereign infrastructure addresses data residency, IP protection, and regulatory alignment, while reducing exposure to public cloud capacity swings. For Swedish and European firms navigating GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific rules like DORA in finance, a trusted, high-performance platform can accelerate AI adoption without compromising compliance.

Nvidia halts H20 AI chips for China amid security review

Nvidia halts H20 AI chips for China amid security review
Nvidia has reportedly paused production activities tied to its H20 data center AI GPUs for China as Beijing intensifies national-security scrutiny, clouding a long-anticipated reentry into the market. Multiple suppliers have been asked to suspend work related to the H20, Nvidia's made-for-China accelerator designed to meet U.S. export rules. The pause arrives shortly after Washington signaled it would grant export licenses for the H20, reversing an earlier halt that triggered unsold inventory write downs at Nvidia. The H20 is Nvidia's linchpin for retaining a foothold in the worlds second-largest AI market; any prolonged disruption has material revenue and ecosystem consequences.

Vantage Data Centers Frontier: $25B Texas AI Campus

Vantage Data Centers Frontier: $25B Texas AI Campus
Vantage will invest more than $25 billion to build Frontier, a 1,200-acre, 10-building campus totaling roughly 3.7 million square feet near Abilene, about 120 miles west of Dallas Fort Worth. The site is designed for ultra-high-density racks of 250kW and above, paired with liquid cooling for next-generation GPU systems. Construction has started, with first delivery targeted for the second half of 2026. Vantage expects more than 5,000 jobs through construction and operations. This is the company's largest project to date and underscores its acceleration beyond a global footprint of 36 campuses delivering nearly 2.9GW of critical IT load. Vantage is a portfolio company of Digital Bridge Group.

Lumen 400G Metro Data Center Connectivity for AI

Lumen 400G Metro Data Center Connectivity for AI
AI buildouts and multi-cloud scale are stressing data center interconnect, making high-capacity, on-demand metro connectivity a priority for enterprises. Training pipelines, retrieval-augmented generation, and model distribution are shifting traffic patterns from north-south to high-volume east-west across metro clusters of data centers and cloud on-ramps. This is the backdrop for Lumen Technologies push to deliver up to 400Gbps Ethernet and IP Services in more than 70 third-party, cloud on-ramp ready facilities across 16 U.S. metro markets. The draw is operational agility: bandwidth provisioning in minutes, scaling up to 400Gbps per service, and consumption-based pricing that aligns spend with variable AI and data movement spikes.

Deutsche Telekom Unveil's 5G SA based Mobile Cloud Gaming with NVIDIA
Deutsche Telekom will roll out a free 5G+ Gaming option for eligible Magenta Mobil customers starting autumn 2025, integrating GeForce NOW for on-the-go cloud gaming with consistent responsiveness and stability. The service runs over Telekom's 5G Standalone (SA) network using network slicing and L4S, with initial device support including Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra and the S25 series, and more handsets to follow. GeForce NOW brings access to a catalog of 2,300+ supported titles spanning major game stores, with additional install-to-play titles being added, and day passes available (Performance and Ultimate tiers) for short-term access.

SK Telecom and VAST Data Optimize Korea’s Sovereign AI Infrastructure based on NVIDIA Supercomputers

SK Telecom and VAST Data Optimize Korea’s Sovereign AI Infrastructure
SK Telecom is partnering with VAST Data to power the Petasus AI Cloud, a sovereign GPUaaS built on NVIDIA accelerated computing and Supermicro systems, designed to support both training and inference at scale for government, research, and enterprise users in South Korea. By placing VAST Data's AI Operating System at the heart of Petasus, SKT is unifying data and compute services into a single control plane, turning legacy bare-metal workflows that took days or weeks into virtualized environments that can be provisioned in minutes and operated with carrier-grade resilience.

Humanoid Robot Games: 5G-Advanced and AI in China

Humanoid Robot Games: 5G-Advanced and AI in China
Beijing's first World Humanoid Robot Games is more than a spectacle. It is a live systems trial for embodied AI, connectivity, and edge operations at scale. Over three days at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, more than 500 humanoid robots from roughly 280 teams representing 16 countries are competing in 26 events that span athletics and applied tasks, from soccer and boxing to medicine sorting and venue cleanup. The games double as a staging ground for 5G-Advanced (5G-A) capabilities designed for uplink-intensive, low-latency, high-reliability robotics traffic. Indoors, a digital system with 300 MHz of spectrum delivers multi-Gbps peaks and sustains uplink above 100 Mbps.

Perplexity’s $34.5B Chrome Bid

Perplexity’s $34.5B Chrome Bid
An unsolicited offer from Perplexity to acquire Googles Chrome raises immediate questions about antitrust remedies, AI distribution, and who controls the internets primary access point. Perplexity has proposed a $34.5 billion cash acquisition of Chrome and says backers are lined up to fund the deal despite the startups significantly smaller balance sheet and an estimated $18 billion valuation in recent fundraising. The bid includes commitments to keep Chromium open source, invest an additional $3 billion in the codebase, and preserve current user defaults including leaving Google as the default search engine. The timing aligns with a U.S. Department of Justice push for structural remedies after a court found Google maintained an illegal search monopoly, with a Chrome divestiture floated as a central remedy.

Intel Spins Off NEX Division Amid $2.9B Loss & AI Pivot
