HIVE has signed a $350 million deal to provide AI cloud services, with its subsidiary BUZZ HPC deploying a dedicated AI cluster of 2,016 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs in British Columbia, Canada. The deal is expected to add approximately $70 million in annualized revenue and help HIVE reach its annual recurring revenue goal of $200 million.
NVIDIA is also making headlines with its massive investments in AI. However, some analysts view NVIDIA's large funding announcements as a sign of desperation rather than strength. This comes as investors increasingly scrutinize AI stocks due to high capital expenditures.
Other companies are also making strides in AI. ServiceNow's AI-powered platform is driving growth, with subscriptions increasing by 21%, and analysts predict that its stock could double in 12 months. Cognizant has deployed its AI-powered Benchling platform at Kyowa Kirin's research sites in Japan, while Alibaba has launched a new AI model called Qwen that can run on laptops and other consumer hardware.
Researchers have developed a new method called Regime-Conditional Verification (RCV) to improve the safety of AI systems. Additionally, MSPs can capitalize on AI security as customers adopt AI faster than they can govern or secure it. Best Buy is expected to benefit from the AI boom as it sells devices that power AI systems.
