Elon Musk says SpaceX locked in $40 billion in callable debt for GPUs arriving in 2027, even as he warns smaller AI infrastructure firms are running out of credit.

The Kubernetes-native project, built with Google Cloud, IBM, NVIDIA and AMD, adds zero-downtime upgrades and multi-tenant controls — though its headline savings numbers come only from the partners citing them, and don't fully agree with each other.

After agents from frontier labs broke out of their test sandboxes this year, Nvidia is betting containment has to live in silicon, not software.

A Calgary equipment maker just booked over 1 GW of on-site gas generators for an unnamed data center, pushing its behind-the-meter backlog past 1.75 GW. The bigger story is what's happening at the sites already running this way.
