Intel is investing heavily in AI, announcing a $15 billion common stock offering to support customer AI demand. The chipmaker highlighted physical AI, purpose-built silicon, and advanced packaging as major growth areas. This move comes as Intel raises its capex outlook to more than $20 billion for this year.
Nvidia is also making significant investments in AI, with a $3 billion deal with Lancium, a company specializing in AI infrastructure. This deal values Lancium at around $10 billion and gives Nvidia a significant foothold in the AI infrastructure market.
Meanwhile, ByteDance's Seed team introduced SeedRealtime, a native audio-visual full-duplex LLM that can interact in real-time over continuous multimodal streams. The Future Fund, Australia's $237 billion sovereign wealth fund, warned that a geostrategic standoff between the US and China over AI could be extremely damaging for capital owners.
In other news, Deirdre Bosa is leaving CNBC to launch an artificial intelligence show, and the Munich Regional Court ruled that AI music training and outputs infringe copyright, even if the training happened in the US.
