Nvidia is in talks to provide billions of dollars in credit guarantees for debt to Nscale, a young AI cloud provider. These funds would be used to develop a 460MW data center that Anthropic plans to use, according to The Information.

In Germany, Nvidia and the utility PreussenElektra GmbH have signed a preliminary agreement to investigate whether retired nuclear sites could be converted into AI computing hubs. The study will focus on utilizing existing water access and grid links at decommissioned locations, though Nvidia has ruled out restarting any idle reactor units.

Separately, a New York Times investigation reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang may have been the target of Chinese spying activity. US intelligence agencies have been monitoring Alice Huang, an executive at the Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed, for allegedly facilitating the illegal sale of advanced Nvidia chips to China and funneling information to the Chinese government.
