OpenAI reportedly missed internal user and revenue targets while carrying about $600 billion in future compute commitments. Supplier stocks including Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD declined on the news. Microsoft loosened cloud limits while extending model rights through 2032. Any IPO filing will need to explain these infrastructure contracts. #OpenAI #AICompute #TechFinance https://www.implicator.ai/openai-misses-targets-as-600-billion-compute-obligations-face-ipo-scrutiny/

Amazon invests up to $25B more in Anthropic ($5B immediate, $20B milestone-gated), while Anthropic commits over $100B in AWS spending across ten years. This mirrors Amazon's recent OpenAI deal - tech giants increasingly funding AI labs that funnel money back through cloud commitments. The closed-loop structure may reshape how AI development gets financed. #AI #CloudComputing #TechFinance

AMD offered Meta and OpenAI warrants for roughly 20% of its stock to secure chip deals - a structure Nvidia doesn't need with 90% market control. The equity-backed agreements suggest AMD views these less as product sales than financial instruments to compete. Critics call it circular financing where chip purchases inflate AMD stock, benefiting customer warrants.

Alphabet issues 100-year sterling bond while planning $185B capex - borrowing terms rival Oxford University and sovereign funds. OpenAI adds ads to free ChatGPT hours after Anthropic's Super Bowl mockery of the concept. Two very different approaches to AI sustainability as competition intensifies.

OpenAI plans Q4 2026 IPO while pursuing $100B+ pre-IPO round at $830B valuation. Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank among investors - though most funding may circle back as infrastructure revenue. Company projects losses until 2030 despite massive valuation. Race with Anthropic for first-mover advantage in public AI markets appears to drive timeline.

How Circular Deals Are Driving the AI Boom

The AI industry is being powered by a complex web of "Circular Deals"—where tech giants invest in startups that then use that money to buy cloud credits from those same giants. We investigate whether this is a sustainable growth engine for the 2026 economy or a "shell game" that is artificially inflating the value of the AI sector.

Oracle's bonds carry investment-grade ratings but trade like junk debt, with credit default swaps at 125+ basis points. Barclays projects cash exhaustion by November 2026 as the company's 500% debt-to-equity ratio dwarfs tech peers at 7-23%. The gap between ratings and market pricing signals broader AI infrastructure financing strain across the industry.

Oracle's denial of OpenAI data center delays carefully distinguished "contractual commitments" from public timelines—corporate speak that confirms the 2027-to-2028 slip is real. Credit default swaps hit five-year highs while equity investors still buy the story.

Because of the domain name price being quite expensive (more than RM100++ per year), I think I'll use subdomains. `*.nulu.my` (`nulu` in Kadazandusun means hill, although regional dialects vary). I do not feel comfortable or like myself if I use domains other than `.my`, which means Malaysia.

SoftBank posted $16B profit yet liquidated $15B in Nvidia and T-Mobile to fund loss-making OpenAI. The forced asset sales despite record gains reveal circular financing at work: Nvidia invests in OpenAI, which buys Nvidia chips, inflating both valuations. When Japan's richest man exits infrastructure winners for application-layer cash burners, the peak may be closer than the headlines suggest.
