Nvidia's Ampere-architecture datacenter GPU, launched in 2020, widely used for AI training and inference workloads before Hopper-generation chips.
Ukrainian drones forced Yandex to shut its Sasovo data center, one of its five major sites, knocking many Yandex Cloud services offline. For anyone hosting in Russia or Ukraine, the outage to plan for now includes losing a whole building and the hardware inside it.

Andreessen Horowitz puts hyperscaler capex near $780 billion this year and tech at roughly 55% of US capital spending. Its charts also show free cash flow being squeezed, and the hyperscalers are relying more on debt to fund new chip capacity.

A Microsoft Research study of mobile manipulation reports slower mapping, later obstacle detection and halved manipulation accuracy on small onboard GPUs. The team has shipped Kubernetes tooling to move that inference off the robot.

Amazon's filing blamed the pace of change in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and it priced the decision itself: about $0.7 billion off 2025 operating income, with another $0.6 billion of accelerated depreciation.

ShadowPEFT is in Hugging Face PEFT's main branch as of a September 15th announcement, and it carries its own hidden state and can be detached as a smaller standalone model. Trying it means installing PEFT from source.

Nvidia's recommended defence against Rowhammer was a toggle. A University of Toronto team hammered straight through it, publishes exploit code on 15 November, and says only new hardware can close the hole.

The attack defeats ECC on four Ampere cards the researchers call common in cloud instances, while Nvidia's HBM flagships tested clean. Today's exposure sits in the cheapest slice of rented capacity, which makes it a contracting question.

Fixing the context at 12 frames makes per-frame cost independent of how long the camera has been running, which is the property a memory-limited robot actually needs. The 24.45 FPS headline was measured on an H100.

Emerald AI raised $150 million to make AI workloads curtailable on utility request. Its strongest evidence is a two-day test on one cluster, and the contract that would matter does not exist yet.

Six of the largest private capital firms want to finance GPUs as long-lived assets. Nvidia's own Blackwell pitch said you couldn't give last-generation Hoppers away.
Reality
CoreWeave, Nebius and Cerebras all grew fast and lost more money in Q2 2026. The spending curves say capacity is still being contracted ahead of the demand it serves.
