Nvidia is investing $2B in CoreWeave, deepening a partnership central to AI infrastructure expansion. CoreWeave plans to build over 5 GW of AI data centers by 2030 using Nvidia’s next-gen platforms. However, despite the hype, CoreWeave’s financials raise serious concerns: the company is losing money on every dollar of revenue, carries a massive working-capital deficit, holds over $10B in long-term debt, and relies on rapidly depreciating GPU assets. Facing weak demand, CoreWeave is increasingly using “compute-for-equity” deals—trading GPU capacity for startup equity at inflated valuations—effectively acting like an AI venture capitalist rather than a stable infrastructure provider. The business model depends on continued access to debt markets; if funding dries up, risks fall heavily on retail investors while early institutional players are likely already exiting.

In '25, 76% of AI use cases were purchased by enterprises, rather than built internally (vs. 53% in '24). Enterprise AI software refers to artificial intelligence applications specifically designed for large-scale organizations to automate complex business processes, improve decision-making, and enhance productivity across departments like HR, finance, and supply chain. Unlike consumer AI (like a personal chatbot), enterprise AI is built with a focus on security, scalability, and integration with existing corporate systems like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Source: Puru Saxena @saxena_puru

The U.S. and Taiwan have reached a trade agreement to build chips and chip factories on American soil, the Department of Commerce announced Thursday. As part of the agreement, Taiwanese chip and technology companies will invest at least $250 billion in production capacity in the U.S., and the Taiwanese government will guarantee $250 billion in credit for these companies. In exchange, the U.S. will limit “reciprocal” tariffs on Taiwan to 15%, down from 20%, and commit to zero reciprocal tariffs on generic pharmaceuticals, their ingredients, aircraft components and some natural resources.
