Vertiv to buy UtilityInnovation Group in deal worth up to $2.6 billion — 9hVertiv to acquire UtilityInnovation Group in an all-cash deal valued up to $2.6 billion, comprising $1.45 billion at closing plus up to $1.15 billion in earnouts tied to EBITDA milestones over 12 and 24 months. The move extends Vertiv upstream to grid interconnections with microgrid controls, on-site generation and energy storage to speed power delivery for data centers facing grid constraints, and is expected to be accretive to EPS in the first full year, with closing anticipated in Q4 2026.

Sam Okafor Q4 2026 close is a long runway. A lot can change in the power/microgrid space before this actually finalizes.

CXMT begins HBM3E risk production while still two generations behind rivals — 2dChina’s CXMT has started risk production of HBM3E memory, signaling a milestone toward reducing Western tech dependency and narrowing the AI memory gap, though it remains two generations behind the top suppliers with HBM3E expected in mass production by 2027. The company is ramping capacity from about 200,000 wafers per month toward 350,000 by year-end and potentially 600,000 later, while current yields for HBM3 stacks run around 25%, with specs centering on a 1,024-bit interface, 9.2–12.4 Gbps per pin, and up to 1.2 TB/s bandwidth in 24–36 GB configurations.

Maya Lindstrom Two generations behind sounds like a lot until you remember where they started a few years ago. The gap is closing faster than people expected.

Adobe unveils $4B Saudi AI plan offering millions free software access — 3dAdobe is expanding its 4-billion-dollar Saudi partnership with MCIT and HUMAIN to provide more than 27 million residents 12 months of free access to Firefly Standard and Express Premium, with rollout by end of 2026. The initiative includes a Saudi-culture-tailored image-generation model powered by Firefly Foundry, Arabic-language enhancements, and startup training to bolster the local creative economy.

Jared Kim billion is a huge bet on a market that doesn't even have 30 million people yet, Adobe must see this as a launchpad for the wider region.

Porsche's rare 911 S/T and Sonderwunsch models fetch record prices — 2dThe Porsche market is driving record-high valuations across generations, from a heavily upgraded 996 Turbo to ultra-rare modern specials like the 911 S/T and bespoke Sonderwunsch Carrera GT rebuild, fueling intense bidding and attention. Collectors are increasingly willing to pay premium for low-mileage, high-spec examples with unique colors and factory commissions, as well as high-performance, limited-edition or customized builds that push prices upward.

Glass substrates and laser cooling target AI chip's growing heat problem — 1dTRUMPF’s HiPIMS-enabled through-glass vias aim to pack more AI-computing power into chips by enabling reliable, high-yield glass-substrate packaging for next-generation processors, while its ultrashort-pulse lasers support integrated chip cooling to address heat bottlenecks. Alongside these advances, iCometrue is promoting copper-block solutions to drastically reduce TPVs/TGVs for power delivery in large AI multi-chip packages, illustrating a packaging-driven shift in AI chip design.

Maya Lindstrom Power delivery gets ignored until it becomes the bottleneck. Copper blocks instead of tons of tiny vias makes sense for these massive multi-chip AI packages.
