Google’s latest round of cuts to its Cloud organization has targeted design and user‑experience roles and exposed a broader strategic pivot: as Google doubles down on AI and infrastructure, it is pruning teams that don’t fit the new operating model—leaving employees, customers and product...
Microsoft’s latest public posture on AI infrastructure is less a new technical roadmap than a blunt strategic statement: build a fleet that is as fungible and flexible as possible, then let customers, partners and models ride it. That message—articulated by Satya Nadella in recent public posts...
Cloud hosting has evolved from a convenience to a strategic imperative, and the top U.S. providers shaping enterprise IT strategies in 2025 combine scale, specialized services for AI and data, and increasingly sophisticated cost and sustainability commitments. The short list assembled by...
A recent salvo in the ongoing debate over the commercial success of Microsoft’s AI-first strategy claims that Microsoft 365 Copilot — the company’s marquee productivity AI product — has only about 8 million paying subscribers, a figure that, if true, would represent a tiny fraction of...
Oracle’s latest quarter didn’t just surprise the market — it rewrote the playbook for what a decades‑old database vendor can become when it aggressively pivots into AI infrastructure and multicloud operations. In Q1 of fiscal 2026 Oracle reported a staggering $455 billion in Remaining...
Markets closed the session with a clear note of caution: Indian benchmarks slipped while a clutch of stocks — led by metals and defence-linked names — bucked the broader weakness, and global headlines about U.S. trade probes and AI-capital flows amplified investor uncertainty across asset...
The relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI has shifted from near-monogamy to a pragmatic, negotiated partnership — Microsoft is no longer OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider, but it remains deeply tied to OpenAI through long-term commercial terms and preferred access arrangements. This isn’t a...
Satya Nadella’s public admission that artificial intelligence could run Microsoft into the ground — and that even long-standing franchises like Office and Windows may not be safe — is not a bogeyman headline but a strategic admission from the company’s CEO that the firm’s next decade will be...
Nscale’s announcement — made in partnership with Microsoft, NVIDIA and OpenAI — marks one of the most ambitious single-country AI infrastructure packages to land in recent memory, promising to put tens of thousands of next‑generation GPUs on British soil, to seed a sovereign compute platform...

Nvidia’s quiet retreat from a direct cloud play marks a meaningful strategic pivot: DGX Cloud — once pitched as NVIDIA’s own AI supercomputer service for enterprises — is being repurposed largely as internal infrastructure, while the company leans into a marketplace model (DGX Cloud Lepton) that...
Microsoft's announcement that Fairwater — a sprawling AI datacenter complex built on the shelved Foxconn site in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin — will become the “world’s most powerful AI datacenter” is a watershed moment for U.S. hyperscale infrastructure, but it also raises immediate technical...
