Nvidia, Microsoft, and CoreWeave announced pledges to invest tens of billions to build out the UK’s AI infrastructure.

Coinciding with President Trump’s visit to the UK, the companies announced new data centers, hundreds of thousands of Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, and support for the UK’s sovereign AI programs.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are joining Trump for the visit.

Nvidia, CoreWeave, and UK AI infrastructure startup Nscale announced plans to roll out 120,000 Blackwell GPUs in UK data centers, including OpenAI’s “Stargate UK” data center project.

Part of the UK’s sovereign AI initiatives include the development of the country’s own “UK-LLM” and “Isambard-AI,” the UK’s most powerful supercomputer, which uses Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs.

Jury finds Meta and Google liable in social addiction case

A Los Angeles jury found Meta and Google liable of designing Instagram and YouTube to be addictive for young users, awarding the plaintiff $3 million in damages, with Meta responsible for 70% of the total. The trial centered on whether features like autoplay and infinite scroll contributed to a plaintiff’s mental health issues — and could set a precedent for holding tech companies responsible for product design, not just content.

The jury also found that Meta and Google could face punitive damages, with a separate phase of the trial to determine how much they should pay.

The decision comes just one day after a New Mexico judge ordered Meta to pay $375 million in civil penalties, saying it violated state consumer protection laws by enabling child sexual exploitation.

SpaceX, which could file confidential paperwork for its IPO as soon as this week, is now aiming to raise an astounding $75 billion through its public listing, The Information reports. That’s 50% higher than previous reports.

For comparison’s sake, the current record holder for money raised in an IPO is Saudi Aramco, which raised $29.4 billion. Or, as The Information noted, SpaceX’s IPO would “surpass all money raised by US IPOs last year.”
