## Resource

For this week’s AI News: Three orders of magnitude now separate US, Chinese, and European AI bets. We unpack the week's $700B numbers and the four questions every business leader should bring to their next planning session. What Stood Out This Week: US AI infrastructure spend hit a new scale. The four big hyperscalers reported $130B in combined capex for one quarter, with full-year 2026 tracking above $700B. Anthropic raised $65B in five days, then got shut out of the Pentagon. Classified AI contracts went to Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Reflection. China's AI stack is now complete: Own models, own silicon, own buyers. Hosted on Acast.
