Report: Apple’s next MacBook Pro will have a touch screen, a decade after everyone else

Steve Jobs would NEVER!

Apple’s next iteration of the MacBook Pro could have a touch screen, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Apple will be late to the party, as the rest of the industry adopted touch screens years ago. Apple cofounder Steve Jobs famously resisted the idea of a touch screen Mac, but over the years, the lines between Macs and iPads have been blurring.

The new high-end touch screen MacBook Pros are expected to have a slimmer design, run on Apple’s custom M6 chips, and feature a “hole-punch” at the top of the OLED display, matching the design of the iPhone, which allows the camera and sensors to be surrounded by screen at the top of the display.

This week, Apple released an updated MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple Vision Pro running on the M5 chip.

Report: OpenAI and Nvidia in talks to team up for 10-gigawatt data center in Ohio

Fresh off scaling back ambitious plans for its Stargate data centers, OpenAI may be moving forward with a new plan: a 10-gigawatt data center in Ohio powered and backed by Nvidia.

According to a report by The Information, the new data center, built on federal land, would dwarf the largest data centers being built today in terms of computing power.

The facility would cost about $500 billion to build, and OpenAI would would own the equipment and be on the hook for 20 years of lease payments, which Nvidia would provide a backstop for, per the report.

If this sounds familiar, Nvidia and OpenAI did announce a similar deal back in September. Nvidia said it would invest as much as $100 billion in what CEO Jensen Huang called “the biggest AI infrastructure project in history,” which never came to fruition (though Nvidia did invest $30 billion in OpenAI). Per the report, this potential deal is a new plan.

OpenAI’s Stargate partner SoftBank is part of the plan as well. SoftBank’s SB Energy is providing financing for the project, and broke ground on the facility in March. The land on which the data center would be built is owned by the Department of Energy.

Amazon just secured a massive $17.5 billion line of credit

Amazon has landed a $17.5 billion line of credit arranged by Citibank, according to a new SEC filing.

While the filing says the money is for “general corporate purposes,” the company is clearly on a global borrowing spree to fund its massive AI infrastructure investments, with $200 billion in planned capex this year. For perspective, that budget is larger than the entire GDP of most countries. This giant credit line comes shortly after Amazon shattered the record for issuance in Canada’s “maple bond” market.

The spending is so aggressive that credit rating agency S&P recently warned Amazon’s “leverage will increase substantially” and it will likely report negative free operating cash flow over the next two years to support the data center build-out. Yet, Amazon is rushing to borrow anyway, hoping to service a massive $364 billion cloud backlog.
