- Injective launches onchain futures market tracking Nvidia GPU rental costs
Layer-1 blockchain Injective has launched a perpetual futures market tracking rental prices of five Nvidia GPUs (H100, B200, H200, A100 and RTX 4090), with leverage of up to 10x. The Super Intelligence Compute Index (SICI), compiled by LO:TECH from compute marketplace data, weights the H100 at 40% and the B200 at 25%, updates hourly using a seven-day trailing average, and uses USDC as margin. Injective says the market lets AI developers hedge against rising computing costs and lets GPU providers protect against falling rental revenue. The launch comes as Gartner warned that more than 80% of specialist AI cloud providers, known as neoclouds, could stop operating independently by 2030, and Elon Musk said more than 200 such providers could fail or consolidate.
- Vertiv Simplifies High-Density AI Infrastructure Deployment Across Data Center Environments
Vertiv has introduced the Vertiv SmartIT solution, a pre-engineered architecture based on NVIDIA MGX and OCP ORV3 that integrates rack infrastructure, power conversion, direct-to-chip liquid cooling and monitoring in a factory-validated design. Factory validation reduces on-site integration work, and the solution is available now for AI deployments globally. It can be used in existing facilities, new builds, colocation and hyperscale environments without redesign, and it scales from a single rack to multi-rack deployments. Vertiv previously deployed SmartIT with NVIDIA to support the DGX GB300 and showed a demo unit with the HGX Rubin NVL8 at NVIDIA GTC Berlin in October.
- Arista Networks (ANET) Is Winning AI Data Center Network Share
Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) reported a record quarter driven by demand for its Ethernet-based AI data center equipment and raised its 2026 revenue outlook to US$12.6 billion, including at least US$3.5 billion to US$3.6 billion from AI networks. Management said Arista is winning AI data center projects that might previously have defaulted to Nvidia's InfiniBand interconnects as customers adopt open Ethernet fabrics. The article notes that a handful of hyperscalers still dominate demand and could cause orders to swing sharply. The cleanest early test, it argues, is how quickly AI fabric revenue approaches the 2026 target and how many customers adopt Etherlink, where management has already cited more than 100 adopters.
- Ocean Power Technologies and Stratum Holdings Sign Letter of Intent for Proposed Strategic Collaboration to Demonstrate Offshore Renewable-Powered Data Center Assets
Ocean Power Technologies (NYSE American: OPTT) and Stratum Holdings (NASDAQ: SRTM) signed a non-binding letter of intent to collaborate on demonstrating offshore data center assets powered by wave, wind and solar energy. Under the LOI, OPT would grant Stratum a limited, non-exclusive license to certain PowerBuoy® patents and make prototype assets available, while Stratum would provide GPU assets, including NVIDIA B300 GPUs, and integration expertise and pay OPT a monthly retainer under definitive agreements yet to be negotiated. The aim is to test whether edge AI inference can run on systems powered mainly by onboard renewable generation without a power link to shore. OPT holds more than 60 patents worldwide, including more than 15 in the U.S. The companies believe cooler ocean regions could reduce cooling-related power demand, but this has not yet been demonstrated and will be tested.
- SWI Compute Emerges from Stealth to Turn Gigawatts of Power Into NVIDIA AI Factories, Starting in Europe
SWI Compute, which has emerged from stealth, will build and operate NVIDIA AI factories, launching first in Europe. The company is backed by 3.6 gigawatts of power capacity that parent SWI Group, listed on Euronext Amsterdam, spent six years securing across Europe and the US. It became a Preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner in August, ordered approximately $1 billion of NVIDIA systems, and has finalized contracts with its first customers. Its first large UK AI factory starts with 30 MW, close to 7,000 Rubin GPUs and 3,500 Vera CPUs in Vera Rubin NVL72 racks expected online by the end of 2027, as the first step toward a campus planned to reach 530 MW and 2.3 GW of capacity by 2029. Delta Computers is the systems integrator, and the partners are set to deliver more than 8,000 GPUs.
- As AI Labs Burn Cash, the Real Question Is Which Suppliers Get Paid
Microsoft confirmed it is pulling out of a planned UK AI data center being developed by Nscale, because the electricity needed would not be available until the 2030s, while keeping its other agreements with Nscale. The article argues investors should distinguish suppliers paid for hardware, such as Nvidia and Broadcom, from operators like Oracle, CoreWeave and Nebius, which build data centers, rent capacity and must fund infrastructure while waiting for customers to pay. Nvidia has invested in more than 200 companies, while Broadcom's risk lies in customer concentration. AMD is competing with Nvidia through a deal to deploy 6 gigawatts of its GPUs for OpenAI, and it granted OpenAI warrants for up to 160 million AMD shares tied to milestones. Nvidia has also agreed to buy unused CoreWeave computing capacity under certain conditions through 2032.

- Vanguard's Growth ETF Usually Beats the Market After a Lagging Year. I'd Own It, but Not for a 2027 Rebound.
The Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (VUG) hit a record of $92.64 on Oct. 6 but has since fallen about 6% to roughly $87, while the S&P 500 is down less than 3% over the same period. The fund is up about 7% in 2026 versus about 11% for the index, and if the gap holds through December, it would be the first year since 2022 that it trails the S&P 500 on price alone. The fund holds a large share of its assets in its top 10 stocks, many of them tech companies, and several, including Tesla (down about 17%), are lagging this year. Rising interest rates also weigh on growth stocks, since their value depends on profits expected far in the future. The author notes the fund has beaten the S&P 500 in 16 of 21 years from 2005 to 2025, but says he would not rely on 2027 to erase this year's gap.
- Joby Aviation Stock Just Hit a 52-Week Low. History Says This Happens Next
Joby Aviation (JOBY) has fallen from about $13 at the start of 2026 to below $5, hovering near its 52-week low of about $4.40. Its first-ever coast-to-coast autonomous flight and its plan to acquire Resonant Sciences have done little to lift the shares this year, and the decline of similar stock Archer Aviation suggests waning enthusiasm for eVTOL companies. The article notes that past downturns were followed by sharp rebounds, such as in 2025, when a $250 million Toyota investment and other news pushed the stock above $10 and up to around $20 before valuation concerns pulled it back. The author argues investors now want to see actual bookings rather than announcements, and that a milestone such as FAA type certification could push the stock back into double digits. He says the stock may be worth a look for aggressive investors who can tolerate volatility.
- Stock Market Today, Oct. 26: AI Optimism Lifts Nasdaq as Tech Stocks Rebound
The S&P 500 gained 0.70% to 7,677, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.82% to 26,169, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.28% to 52,362 as AI optimism returned and oil prices fell. Gold rose 0.46% to $4,026.30 and the 10-Year Treasury yield rose 0.04% to 5%, with investors favoring Real Estate and Technology while Communication Services faced selling pressure. Anthropic filed its S-1 to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT," and its strong revenue growth figures eased fears that the AI boom was losing steam, helping revive tech stocks. Tesla rose over 5% after Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight and raised its price target from $370 to $450, while Meta fell about 2% after disclosing plans to raise up to $95 billion for AI infrastructure. Investors are now looking ahead to Microsoft's earnings and the Federal Reserve's rate decision this week.
- Perpetua Resources Awarded Up to $40 Million in U.S. Army Funding to Advance Domestic Tungsten Supply for American Defense
Perpetua Resources (Nasdaq: PPTA; TSX: PPTA) received a new 36-month, $40 million award through the U.S. Army's Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium to assess producing tungsten concentrate at its Stibnite project in Idaho. The cost-share program will fund drilling to define a potential tungsten resource, metallurgical testing, and permitting and engineering for an exploration decline. Perpetua will match the Army's $40 million contribution, and the initial 18-month phase is expected to cost about $18 million, shared equally. The company notes there has been no commercial tungsten mining in the U.S. since 2015 and that recent Chinese export controls add to supply risk. With this award, total U.S. Government awards to Perpetua for critical minerals reach $126 million since 2022.
- Anthropic's IPO puts power in the hands of founders, giving everyday shareholders little voice
Anthropic’s IPO prospectus gives its seven co-founders control through “Founder LLC,” which will hold 50.1% of voting power and determine the outcome of all stockholder votes for the foreseeable future. The filing says this may limit investor influence and make unsolicited mergers or proxy contests less likely. The Long-Term Benefit Trust, set up in 2023, can elect and remove a board majority through a special class of Class T common stock. Anthropic is a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules and plans to list under the ticker “ANT,” and its filing includes more than 90 pages of risk factors. Bessemer Venture Partners, which backed the company at a $14 billion valuation, said investors are often comfortable with founder-led governance when leadership is strong.
- Boost Run stock surges on AI infrastructure deployment
Boost Run (NASDAQ: BRUN) shares rose 6.7% in after-hours trading on Monday after the company announced AI infrastructure deployments and more than $600 million in non-dilutive project financing closed year to date. The company delivered the first project phase to a leading AI research and product company under agreements signed in May 2026, deploying NVIDIA B300 GPUs with related network storage and CPU node services. In September it signed a five-year, $525.6 million AI cloud services agreement with a provider of enterprise AI models and solutions. The company says it has a fully funded runway through the fourth quarter of 2026, expects deployed colocation capacity to reach about 40 MW by year-end, and structures its project financing to be repaid before contracts end.
