SolarEdge and Infineon are extending their collaboration into one of the least glamorous but most important pieces of 800 VDC AI infrastructure: fault protection. The companies are developing solid-state circuit breakers designed to isolate DC faults in a few microseconds, targeting the distribution layer between high-efficiency power conversion and the compute rack. The companies say…

LITEON Technology is moving deeper into the physical infrastructure behind AI computing. The Taiwan-based power-electronics company plans to acquire roughly 25% of Warsaw-based DCX Liquid Cooling Systems in a transaction valued at about $176 million, combining rack-level power delivery with direct liquid cooling for high-density AI and HPC systems. The company says the transaction is…

Positron AI raised $875 million at a $5 billion valuation to tape out Asimov silicon, ramp Titan systems and scale memory-first inference after deploying 50-plus Atlas racks at Oracle Cloud.
-
Intel veterans behind Delos Data raised more than $100 million and unveiled a Nonstop AI Data Interface aimed at lowering latency and keeping heterogeneous AI accelerators fed with data.

Hyperscale Data has switched off every Bitcoin miner at its Michigan data center, completing a major power reallocation from proof-of-work computing toward artificial intelligence infrastructure. The shutdown took effect September 1. It turns an earlier plan to progressively reduce mining into a clean operational break: Michigan is now being prepared for a California-based neocloud customer…

AI racks are becoming a fiber-management problem as much as a compute problem. Molex has introduced VersaBeam Mini, a new 16-fiber expanded-beam optical connector designed to pack substantially more optical connectivity into the shrinking front-panel and backplane space around next-generation AI switches and accelerators. The company says the connector measures just 3.5 × 9 mm…

Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence may not have to compete for every megawatt. New industry discussions tracked by CoinShares point toward a hybrid model in which AI receives priority compute capacity while Bitcoin ASICs act as a fast, flexible buyer for electricity that would otherwise sit unused. The idea matters because the mining-to-AI transition has…

Applied Digital has ended months of uncertainty around the location of its fifth AI Factory campus, confirming that Delta Forge 2 will be built near Brookwood in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. The newly disclosed location turns a previously anonymous 210 MW lease into a specific $3.2 billion Alabama infrastructure project. Local reporting says the confirmation follows…

WhiteFiber has commercially launched Continuum, a cross-data-center architecture designed to make GPU infrastructure in two physically separate facilities operate as one logical AI supercluster. The company says the design links two HITRUST-certified QTS facilities 83 kilometers apart over 12 Zayo dark-fiber strands, with a target aggregate bandwidth of 136 Tbps and 0.9 milliseconds of round-trip…
