The agreement with the start-up Cerebras is the latest in a series intended to expand the A.I. company’s computing power.

Taiwan-based TSMC, the world’s largest computer chip maker, plans to increase its capital spending by about 40% this year after it reported a 35% jump in its net profit for the latest quarter thanks to the boom in artificial intelligence,

The White House wrapped up a longstanding investigation into America’s reliance on foreign producers of computer chips and imposed a new set of tariffs that is

Engineers from MIT say that stacking circuit components on top of each other could be the answer to creating more energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The logic and memory components, which respectively perform computations and store data, can transfer data more easily when in direct contact as opposed to when apart.

Alphabet made a breakthrough in late 2024 with its Willow chip, which was able to exponentially reduce errors as it added more qubits. Typically, the more qubits a system uses, the more errors you get, so this was a huge feat.

Alphabet generated $73.5 billion in free cash flow over the last 12 months. Committing even $1 billion per year to quantum computing (twice the run rate of IonQ's cash burn) pales in comparison to the amount it's spending on building new data centers for its Google Cloud services (which management estimates will be around $92 billion for 2025).

Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to unravel. But they'll need to be large and stable enough to efficiently perform operations.
