Shoppers at Nvidia's RTX Spark launch told PCMag they were holding off over the $2,599 price

Over 100 people lined up at a San Francisco Best Buy for Nvidia's RTX Spark launch, but PCMag says it looked like only a handful bought one. Many came for free swag or out of curiosity, so the line says little about demand at $2,599.

CoreWeave's 16% bond yield puts a price on its $50 billion of debt

CoreWeave's 2031 bond yield passed 16% and the cost to insure its debt topped 1,000 basis points, a record. The strain sits on one loss-making borrower, and the sources do not show it spreading across AI infrastructure.

Although CoreWeave's backlog and new commitments top 2.5 times its debt, its 2031 junk bonds yield about 16%

CoreWeave, which has never turned a profit and carries about $50 billion of debt per LSEG, has seen its shares and bonds tumble. An explainer links the slide to a wider tech selloff, though IG's Axel Rudolph puts the doubt in funding.

Nvidia takes minority stakes in five UK startups as Huang promises $2 billion more in European deals

Nvidia's Huang promised $2 billion more in European AI deals and took minority stakes in five UK startups. Fortune says much of it is likely to return as GPU purchases or cloud rentals, so the test is whether funded customers keep buying if AI demand stalls.

Nvidia's Huang says he would cut off an unsafe AI customer after a conversation

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Bloomberg on Oct. 14 that he would cut off a customer building unsafe AI, but only after a conversation with them. He called it a hypothetical and named no customer, so the answer's weight comes from Nvidia's roughly 90% of training chips, per Cryptobriefing.
