Benefiting from the backdrop of tech companies investing heavily in artificial intelligence computing, the adoption of Arm (ARM.O) chip technology continued to rise. The company on Wednesday forecast its first fiscal quarter revenue at $1.26 billion, above market expectations of $1.25 billion. Arm CEO Rene Haas said, "We are very bullish on data center demand," adding that there was "pretty significant growth in data center-related royalties" during the quarter. Earlier this year, Arm launched the AGI CPU, a data center chip designed to handle the large-scale data processing required for specific types of AI. The company said on Wednesday that it had secured $2 billion in client demand for the processor for fiscal years 2027 and 2028.

Anthropic signed an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX to enhance its computing power and meet the surging demand for its Claude artificial intelligence software. The two companies said Wednesday that Anthropic plans to obtain computing resources from a large SpaceX data center in Memphis called Colossus 1. Anthropic said the partnership would "significantly" increase its computing resources and enable it to raise usage limits on its AI products. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The move brings together two AI race rivals. While xAI lags behind in coding, it leads in data center and chip procurement. xAI had previously provided computing power to Cursor and was building data centers in Memphis and Mississippi. In a potential new branding move, xAI referred to itself as "SpaceXAI" when announcing the computing agreement.
