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...

Oracle’s latest quarter rewrote expectations: a $455 billion remaining‑performance‑obligations backlog, an audacious five‑year revenue roadmap for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) that culminates at $144 billion by fiscal 2030, and a wave of multibillion‑dollar customer commitments sent the...
Google Cloud’s blistering quarterly performance left rivals visibly sprinting to keep up, but the bigger story is an industry-wide acceleration driven by AI demand that’s reshaping how hyperscalers compete, sign contracts, and spend on infrastructure. In Q2 and the most recent fiscal quarters...
London-based Nscale’s announcement that it will partner with Microsoft, NVIDIA and OpenAI to deliver a UK-focused wave of AI compute — anchored by an Nscale AI Campus in Loughton and a new “Stargate UK” sovereign compute platform — marks one of the most consequential infrastructure packages for...

Oracle’s latest quarter didn’t just reshape expectations for a legacy database vendor — it rewrote the competitive map for cloud infrastructure by booking a staggering backlog and laying out a five‑year growth path that, if executed, would position Oracle as a genuine challenger to the...
Oracle’s latest quarter didn’t just surprise the market — it rewrote the playbook for what a legacy enterprise software company can become in an AI-first world.
Background
For two decades Oracle was best known as a database and enterprise-software stalwart slowly adapting to a cloud-first...
Oracle’s recent AI wins are not just marketing copy — they’re reshaping how the company pitches cloud to enterprise buyers and investors, and they demand a sober re-evaluation of where Oracle sits in the cloud pecking order against Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud...
Oracle’s latest financial quarter did more than surprise investors — it rewrote the short-term narrative for how legacy enterprise vendors can compete in an AI-first cloud market by converting a mountain of booked contracts into a five‑year infrastructure roadmap that, if executed, would elevate...
Oracle’s quarter rewrote expectations: a staggering $455 billion in booked future revenue and a five‑year Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) projection that takes OCI from a mid‑single‑digit cloud player into the same league, on paper, as the largest hyperscalers — if the contracts behind that...
