1. Anthropic Integration on Azure
Anthropic’s Claude AI models are now available on Microsoft Azure running on NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs, enabling enterprises to deploy advanced AI agents with improved inference performance and lower total cost of ownership. This rollout leverages NVIDIA’s strategic collaboration with Anthropic and Microsoft, including integration of NVIDIA Verified Agent Skills for domain-specific AI capabilities.
2. Bit Origin’s $11 Million Server Acquisition
Singapore-based Bit Origin disclosed a purchase of 16 NVIDIA Blackwell B300 AI servers valued at $11 million, slated for delivery in Q3 2026 and deployment in a Malaysian data center under existing hosting agreements. The company expects these systems to generate about $360,000 in monthly revenue before expenses and will fund the deal with $1 million cash and $10 million in equity via pre-funded warrants.
3. Taiwan’s Chip Smuggling Probe
Taiwan’s Keelung District Prosecutors Office conducted raids on Super Micro’s Taiwan offices, residences of six individuals and three affiliated firms in an expanded investigation into alleged smuggling of NVIDIA chips to China. The action represents Taiwan’s first public enforcement against AI chip diversion and could lead to criminalization of such exports, increasing legal risks for NVIDIA’s supply chain partners.
