Token Tsunami and Power Limits Propel a Boom in Liquid‑Cooled AI Servers
Exploding AI token consumption and rising hardware costs are driving a surge in rented AI compute and accelerating adoption of liquid‑cooled, high‑density servers. Policy limits on data‑centre energy efficiency and the shift from training to widespread inference are making immersion cooling and edge deployment central to scaling AI affordably and sustainably.
China Electronics Group Tapes Out High‑End RISC‑V Processor and Edge AI Chip, Advancing Indigenous Compute
A China Electronics Technology Group institute has completed tape‑out and initial testing of a high‑performance RISC‑V CPU and a first-generation AI inference chip aimed at edge and endpoint uses. The milestone advances China's push for indigenous compute and RISC‑V adoption, though commercial performance and volume production remain uncertain.
2026: The Year AI Glasses Move from Lab to Main Street — China’s Devices Take Centre Stage at the Winter Olympics
Chinese firms showcased AI‑enabled AR smart glasses at the 2026 Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics as analysts declare 2026 a pivotal year for on‑device AI. Advances in model compression and edge compute, plus strengthening supply chains, make large‑model inference on consumer wearables commercially plausible, though adoption will depend on cost, battery life, form factor and regulatory scrutiny.
China’s 2026 AI Crossroads: Open‑source Infrastructure as the Antidote to Vendor Lock‑in
SUSE executives warn that 2026 is a decisive year for Chinese firms adopting AI: they must choose between the short‑term convenience of closed platforms and the long‑term freedom of open, interoperable infrastructure. SUSE positions SLES 16, long support cycles and observability tooling as solutions to vendor lock‑in, regulatory demands and runaway compute costs.
Open‑source AI Agent Goes Viral — Cloudflare Rides a Two‑Day Stock Surge as Markets Price an Edge‑Infrastructure Tailwind
An open‑source AI agent, Moltbot, has gone viral for its ability to run locally and call major language models, prompting a two‑day surge in Cloudflare’s stock as investors bet edge infrastructure will benefit from agent‑driven traffic. The boost raises questions about whether increased traffic will convert into revenue, and spotlights security, governance and competitive risks for the AI ecosystem.
OpenAI's Hardware Gamble: First Device Planned for 2026 as It Seeks Control of the AI Endpoint
OpenAI plans to ship its first hardware device in 2026, signalling a strategic move to control the AI endpoint and diversify revenue beyond cloud services. The launch raises technical, commercial and regulatory challenges but could reshape competition between model builders and incumbent tech hardware ecosystems.
