OpenAI's $122B Round, Underwater Data Centers, and Micron's AI Selloff

from AI Convo Cast · host AI Convo Cast

In this episode, we cover OpenAI's massive $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation, signaling a likely 2026 IPO, along with China's innovative underwater AI data center now online in Shanghai. We also examine Micron's sharp stock decline despite strong AI-driven earnings and what it may signal for the broader AI hardware market. Finally, we discuss Anthropic quietly tightening Claude session limits during peak hours, highlighting the growing tension between flat-rate AI subscriptions and rising inference costs as agentic workflows and million-token context windows push resource demands higher.https://www.aiconvocast.comHelp support the podcast by using our affiliate links:Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkvDisclaimer:This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Micron, Anthropic, SoftBank, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
