🔥 “We’ve entered the AI virtuous cycle.” — Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA (CNBC)
At the APEC CEO Summit in South Korea, Jensen Huang painted a powerful picture of what’s happening in AI right now — and why growth might only accelerate from here. He explained it simply: “The AIs get better. More people use it. More people use it — it makes more profit. More profit creates more factories. More factories create better AIs. And the cycle repeats.” That’s the AI virtuous cycle — a self-reinforcing loop driving innovation, usage, and investment at record speed. 💡 The result? Smarter models → More adoption → Bigger profits → Massive infrastructure buildouts → Even smarter models. It’s not just hype, it’s momentum. Big Tech is pouring billions into AI infrastructure, fueling this cycle and redefining how fast industries evolve. Source: CNBC

Samsung bets big on AI 🇰🇷 Korean tech giant
Samsung just announced plans to buy and deploy 50,000 Nvidia GPUs — a massive move aimed at supercharging its chip manufacturing for mobile devices and robotics. 💡 The partnership is another win for Nvidia, whose GPUs remain the gold standard for building and deploying advanced AI systems. 🔧 Samsung also confirmed it’s working with Nvidia to optimize its 4th-gen HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) for next-generation AI chips — a move that could reshape the global AI hardware landscape. 👉 The AI arms race just got another heavyweight upgrade.
💥 Microsoft’s latest SEC filing quietly revealed a lot about OpenAI’s finances.
According to the numbers, OpenAI lost roughly $11.5 billion last quarter — a figure inferred from Microsoft’s own disclosures. 📊 With a 27% stake in OpenAI, Microsoft recorded a $3.1 billion hit to its net income, pointing to massive operating losses at its AI partner. 💸 The filing also shows Microsoft has now funded $11.6 billion of its $13 billion total commitment to OpenAI — and those losses are now being reflected directly in Microsoft’s earnings under equity accounting rules. 🤔 The takeaway: the AI boom is incredibly expensive, and even the biggest players are feeling the weight of the burn rate.
🚀 Big Tech just confirmed it — the AI spending boom is still in fire 🔥
This week’s earnings from the MAG7 show that AI CapEx is accelerating into 2026, powered by massive, structural demand that shows no signs of slowing. 💰 This investment wave isn’t just a side story, it’s the engine driving the bull market. 👀 Now the big question everyone’s asking: Will the rumored OpenAI IPO mark the peak of the AI bull run… or the next leg higher?
