The back-to-back financing moves signal how fast AI infrastructure costs are outpacing even Amazon's cash generation.
The two standard fixes for teaching AI agents your business both leave a human permanently in the loop. A third approach — generating specialist model weights at inference time — is moving from research into early product. It's the most credible attempt yet at closing the gap, and also the least proven.
The Surface RTX Spark Dev Box runs 120B-parameter AI models locally — no API calls, no per-token charges. That's a direct challenge to Azure's inference revenue, and Microsoft knows it.

The update introduces a conversational Siri, a redesigned app grid, and health tracking improvements. The catch: compatibility is narrow.
Gigascale Capital's new fund is a deliberate counter-cycle play — and a signal that at least one former Big Tech executive thinks the energy transition is underpriced relative to the hype.
