Meta adds $21 billion to CoreWeave partnership as AI costs surge
Meta announced an additional $21 billion commitment to AI cloud provider CoreWeave, bringing the total partnership value to $35.2 billion and extending the agreement from 2027 to 2032. The deal supplements an earlier $14.2 billion arrangement and will use CoreWeave’s Nvidia‑GPU‑dense data centers to run Meta’s expanding AI workloads, including the new Muse Spark model.

NVIDIA’s Cosmos Reason 2B vision‑language model can now be deployed on the Jetson family using the vLLM inference engine. The tutorial walks through installing the NGC CLI, pulling FP8‑quantized weights, and running device‑specific Docker containers for AGX Thor, AGX Orin and Orin Super Nano. After serving the model, users connect the Live VLM WebUI to stream webcam video and receive real‑time multimodal responses. Memory‑constrained devices like the Orin Super Nano require reduced context length and additional vLLM flags to stay within GPU limits.
Red Hat announced the January and February 2026 batches of validated AI models alongside the Red Hat AI 3.3 release.

Yes, AI can write the SQL. But do you understand: * Why that join works? * Why that model makes sense? * Why that metric matters? AI lowers the barrier. Foundations raise your ceiling.
Am currently putting together an article, and yeah, the SWE-Bench Verified numbers are definitely a bit sus across all models -- the benchmark suggest they are more similar than they really are. So, I went down a rabbit hole looking into...
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is set to launch its V4 model, following the market‑shaking debut of V3 last year. V3’s release knocked the Nasdaq composite down 3% and sent Nvidia shares tumbling 17%, wiping out roughly $600 billion in value. Analysts...

Anthropic is guilty of stealing training data at massive scale and has had to pay multi-billion dollar settlements for their theft. This is just a fact.
“I’m more bullish on AI than I’ve ever been. And that’s exactly why I’m bearish on most software companies. Not because their customers will leave, but because their next thirty competitors just got a lot easier to build.”
IBM, a 115-year-old company, pioneered AI with Watson a decade ago. Today, a 3-year-old startup (Anthropic) just wiped $28 billion off IBM’s market cap. Mercy is for the weak.
The field of AI is still struggling with the fact that task-specific skill is not the same as general intelligence
