CEO Michael Intrator says the global AI build-out requires capital on a scale rarely seen, but that he is on the “right side” of a generational change.

Contracts to supply computing power for artificial-intelligence calculations have become such a fixture of the craze that whole industries have begun reorganizing around them. AI suppliers say these arrangements give them unprecedented visibility into their future revenue, allowing them to wow investors with promises of bumper sales and profits ahead. Memory suppliers and their customers have sought out longer-dated deals in recent months.

Chip and AI-linked stocks have whacked in recent weeks after a sharp run-up, while inflation concerns, the U.S.-Iran conflict, and stretched valuations have also weighed on sentiment.

July 17 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's SpaceX is in talks to provide the U.S.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is in talks to provide the U.S. Department of Defense with access to ‌data center capacity worth billions of dollars to run ‌AI models, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar ​with the matter. Such an agreement would extend the Pentagon's existing relationship with SpaceX, a key partner for rocket launches and satellite-based communications and missile tracking. According to the report, SpaceX employees have discussed ‌plans to compete ⁠more directly with neocloud firms such as CoreWeave by selling computing capacity to AI customers at lower ⁠prices.

Meta Platforms is in talks to lease computing power to Anthropic ‌in a potential deal worth as ‌much as $10 billion over two years, the New York ​Times reported on Friday, citing three people with knowledge of the discussions. Such a deal would help Meta ⁠diversify beyond its core advertising business by generating new revenue from its infrastructure investments and ​directly pitting ​it against CoreWeave and ​Nebius, as growing ‌adoption of advanced tools drive up the need for computing capacity. Anthropic had proposed the deal in June and Meta is considering it, the report said.

CoreWeave has launched a $2.6 billion first-lien delayed-draw term loan (DDTL) to support the acquisition and installation of graphics processing units (GPUs), according to sources. A lender call is scheduled for 10 a.m. ET Monday, July 20, and commitments are due by noon ET Thursday, July 30. Price talk for the DDTL maturing in September 2031 is S+425-450, with a 0% floor and an OID of 99. That works out to a yield to maturity of 8.53%-8.79%. The DDTL is available until December 2026, with an u

Micron Technology has become a key artificial-intelligence trade bellwether. Now analysts are trying to game out what peak earnings will look like for Micron if the AI cycle continues. A Trivariate Research analyst team, led by Adam Parker, on Thursday called Micron “the most important stock in the market,” writing that shares of the memory-chip maker have become a “proxy for the AI cycle and risk-taking.”

The Nasdaq composite is down more than 1% this morning. Here are the stocks on the index that are getting hit hard: 💾 Chips, memory makers: Sandisk, Micron, AMD, SK Hynix's ADRs, Intel, Western Digital, Seagate, Arm, Broadcom, Nvidia and Marvell are all deep in the red.

AI cloud computing company CoreWeave is exploring the use of financial derivatives as a potential hedge ‌against a future drop in memory and storage chip prices, according to ‌a person familiar with the matter. To lock in supply amid soaring demand, thanks to a surge in AI infrastructure construction, cloud operators including CoreWeave have signed long-term agreements with memory and storage makers such as Micron and SanDisk. But the arrangement cuts both ways: it protects chipmakers from a downturn, but leaves cloud ⁠companies like CoreWeave exposed if prices fall and they are stuck paying well above the going rate.

Investing.com -- B.

Micron Technology said on Monday it has signed an agreement with Anthropic that includes supply ‌of memory and storage products, and a strategic investment ‌in the IPO-bound AI company's latest funding round. AI developers are racing to secure ​critical components for increasingly expensive data-center buildouts, while memory makers look to tap into the soaring demand for high-bandwidth memory and storage used in training and running advanced AI models. "Our compute strategy depends ‌on getting every layer ⁠of the stack right, and memory and storage are central to how efficiently we can train ⁠and serve Claude," said Tom Brown, Anthropic's co-founder and chief compute officer.
