Hyperscalers Will Spend $750 Billion on AI This Year. Cummins Sells the Backup Power.

Cummins is best known for making engines for large trucks, but those engines can do other things, too.

Cummins, a once-struggling company in the face of shifting industry trends, has found renewed relevance in the rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence (AI).
