Did the circular AI economy just wobble? Last week it was reported that a much-discussed $100bn deal – announced last September – between Nvidia and OpenAI might not be happening at all. This was a circular arrangement through which the chipmaker would supply the ChatGPT developer with huge sums of money that would largely go towards the purchase of its own chips. It is this type of deal that has alarmed some market watchers, who detect a whiff of the 1999-2000 dotcom bubble in these transactions. Now it seems that Nvidia was not as solid on this investment as had been widely believed, according to the Wall Street Journal. Negotiations had not progressed, with Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, privately emphasising that the deal was “non-binding” and “not finalised”. Huang appeared to confirm this in Taipei on Saturday, telling reporters that Nvidia would make a “huge” investment into OpenAI’s next funding round, but “nothing like” $100bn. A report from Reuters soon suggested that the feeling was mutual: OpenAI was “unsatisfied” with Nvidia’s advanced AI chips, it said, and seeking alternatives. Nvidia’s stock has taken a 10% hit so far this week, a flurry of headlines have ensued and both companies have stepped into damage control. “We love working with Nvidia and they make the best AI chips in the world,” wrote Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, on X. “We hope to be a gigantic customer for a very long time.” Even Oracle appears to be shaken: the software company, which is counting on a $300bn cloud computing deal with OpenAI, said it still expects the startup to be good for its commitment even if it does not receive the full amount from Nvidia. In total, OpenAI has committed to compute deals – the infrastructure for building and powering its AI tools – worth more than $1tn.

Google’s latest budget Pixel earbuds are smaller, lighter, more comfortable and have noise cancelling, plus a case that allows you to replace the battery at home. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. The Pixel Buds 2a uses the design of the excellent Pixel Buds Pro 2 with a few high-end features at a more palatable £109 (€129/$129/A$239) price, undercutting rivals in the process. That makes the Buds 2a some of the smallest and most comfortable earbuds on the market, with a disc the size of a Smartie chocolate protruding from your ear canal and no stalk to get in the way of earrings. View image in fullscreen The compact form and soft silicone stabiliser make the Buds 2a very comfortable. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The Guardian Each earbud has a small silicone stabiliser that rests against the inside of your ear opposite the tip to securely hold them in place without putting undue pressure on any soft tissue. That makes them super comfortable for long periods of listening time without feeling as if they’re going to fall out, even during vigorous movement. The disk is touch-sensitive for tap controls for playback, noise cancelling and accessing Gemini. They work well but they lack the excellent swipe gesture for volume control from the Pixel Buds Pro 2, which is a shame. The battery lasts a solid seven or so hours with noise cancelling while the compact flip-top case recharges the buds about 1.8 times for a total of 20 hours playback. The case is great, but the white picks up marks easily, including staining from jeans and other clothing.

The Curious Incident author describes the upbringing that shaped him – and for which he can’t help feeling nostalgia Attempting a psychological analysis of a literary work is a fool’s errand, for obvious reasons: you’re trying to assess the inside of the writer’s head from the inside of your own, using the inherently treacherous medium of make-believe. And the aim on their part, of course, is always to beguile, and often to deceive. And yet the temptation is sometimes too great to resist. Mark Haddon, whose blistering memoir details a mainly miserable and loveless childhood and an adulthood studded with significant hurdles, hit the literary jackpot with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in 2003. In it, a teenage protagonist who struggles to communicate with the world around him uncovers a world of lying adults – most egregiously, he has been told his mother has died, rather than absconded with the nextdoor neighbour – and runs away from home. A more recent novel, The Porpoise, opens with a fatal air crash before morphing into a reworking of Pericles; in Leaving Home, we discover that Haddon is terrified of flying. We also learn that he borrowed heavily from childhood holidays in Brighton to create the atmosphere and texture for his story The Pier Falls, a merciless, documentary-style narration of a cataclysmic seaside disaster.

Lando Norris insists he enters the new Formula One season highly motivated to retain the world championship he won for the first time last year. The McLaren driver believes his maiden triumph has only given him greater confidence in his ability to defend the title. Norris won the championship after an intense competition that went to the wire. After a three-way fight with his teammate, Oscar Piastri, and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, Norris sealed the title by just two points at the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi. The British driver has always been open about his approach to racing and admitted that while he had already achieved his lifelong dream, that achievement did not blunt his determination to take another championship. “I still have many more years in Formula One and I will still try and get as many more championships as possible. If I never do, I’m so happy,” he said. “If I don’t achieve something again, I always have something that I’m very proud about. I know it’s a huge achievement but it certainly hasn’t taken away any ambition or desire to want to do it again.” Norris faced some criticism last year that he did not possess the killer instinct vital in a tough championship fight, especially when compared with his uncompromising rival Verstappen. Norris, however, stuck to his claims that he wanted to prove he could win it his way by being a fair and honest driver. He proved the doubters wrong but in the buildup to the new season – which starts in Melbourne on 8 March – faced the question of whether he had the same steel and ambition as his Red Bull rival to become a multiple winner. “It’s quite clear that I have a different mentality and a different approach to what Max has. Good or bad, you decide,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that I still admire in Max, and I wish I had a little bit more of that here and there. There’s still plenty of things I want to work on and I want to be better on. The baseline level of where I’m at now is already pretty g...

The engines are still 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrids, as they have been since 2014, but one of the two electrical motors that recovered energy has been removed. The total amount of electrical energy has been increased by a factor of three, but the battery is more or less the same size. If the battery is fully depleted, the engine loses 350kw (470bhp), leading to potentially dramatic speed differentials. Drivers will be backing off towards the end of straights - and being careful about when they apply the throttle - to ensure the most efficient energy usage, even on a qualifying lap. The cars are also smaller and lighter, have less downforce and have 'active aerodynamics' - where both front and rear wings open on the straights to increase speed and the possibility for energy recovery. Norris said the new car "certainly feels more powerful and quicker" on the straight. "The biggest challenge at the minute is battery management and knowing how to utilise that in the best way," he said. "It's not simple. You can explain it in quite simple terms. It's just you have a very powerful battery that doesn't last very long, so knowing how to use it in the right times, how much energy, how much of that power you use, how you split it up around the lap... "The biggest challenge is how you can recover the batteries as well as possible, and that's when it comes down to using the gears, hitting the right revs. "Obviously, you've got some turbo lag now, which we've never really had before. All of these little things have crept back in, but I don't think that changes too much. "In a perfect world, I probably wouldn't have [all] that in a race car, but it's just F1. Sometimes you have these different challenges." His team-mate Oscar Piastri said the cars were "not as alien as I think we might have feared" and insisted he "didn't think F1 had lost its identity at all". The Australian added: "There's going to be some things to get used to but in terms of some of the fears that maybe we had b...

Germany Faces Gas Shortage Crisis: Industry Demands Strategic Reserve Submitted by Thomas Kolbe Following the Federal Network Agency, the umbrella organization of the energy industry is now also calling for the establishment of a national strategic natural gas reserve. The coordinated push by the sector makes it clear that the decline in gas storage levels is far more severe than politics has so far admitted. Kerstin Andreae, chairwoman of the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW), called on Monday in an interview with the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland for the creation of a national strategic gas reserve. Andreae emphasized the need for a robust buffer to absorb external shocks in Germany’s energy supply. With this demand, the BDEW explicitly aligned itself with the position of the Federal Network Agency, whose president Klaus Müller had already advocated for such a strategic reserve in a dpa interview last week. Similar signals are now coming from the business world. The Oldenburg-based energy supplier EWE also considers the time ripe to discuss additional crisis instruments and to follow the examples of other European countries. Austria, France, and Poland already maintain strategic gas reserves to safeguard against supply crises. Reality Ignored It is remarkable that Germany has largely ignored fundamental questions of energy market design and the security of grids with baseload energy for years—a consequence of ideologically driven decisions, for which then-Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck also bears political responsibility. Current figures underline the urgency of the situation. Gas storage levels in Germany are currently dropping by around one percent per day due to the cold weather, with overall fill levels now at roughly 30 percent. In extreme cases—such as conditions similar to the winter of 2010—a gas shortage is entirely conceivable. In such a scenario, daily consumption could no longer be covered by additional LNG ...

Nike faces federal probe over allegations of discrimination against white workers toggle caption Richard Drew/AP NEW YORK — The federal agency for protecting workers' civil rights revealed Wednesday that it is investigating sportswear giant Nike for allegedly discriminating against white employees through its diversity policies. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission disclosed the investigation in a motion filed in Missouri federal court demanding that Nike fully comply with a subpoena for information. The EEOC sought the company's criteria for selecting employees for layoffs, how it tracks and uses worker race and ethnicity data, and information about programs which allegedly provided race-restricted mentoring, leadership, or career development opportunities, according to court documents. In a statement, Nike said the company has worked to cooperate with the EEOC and the subpoena "feels like a surprising and unusual escalation." Sponsor Message "We have shared thousands of pages of information and detailed written responses to the EEOC's inquiry and are in the process of providing additional information," Nike said in a statement sent to The Associated Press." EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas has moved swiftly to target diversity and inclusion policies that she has long criticized as potentially discriminatory, tightly aligning the agency with one of President Donald Trump's top priorities. Nike appears to be the highest profile company the EEOC has targeted with a publicly confirmed, formal anti-DEI investigation. In November, the EEOC issued a similar subpoena against financial services provider Northwestern Mutual. "When there are compelling indications, including corporate admissions in extensive public materials, that an employer's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion-related programs may violate federal prohibitions against race discrimination or other forms of unlawful discrimination, the EEOC will take all necessary steps — including subpoena actions — to ensure the...

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal! AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous. Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink. Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking: Where will all of that energy come from? AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse. Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning: “The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.” Elon Musk was even more blunt: “AI will run out of electricity by next year.” As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity. And that’s where the real opportunity lies… One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

Bilbao, February 5th, 2026.- Virtualware (EPA: ALVIR), a leading expert in virtual reality for industry, listed on Euronext Growth Paris, closed 2025 with record bookings, exceeding €8 million. These bookings, derived primarily from government and nuclear projects, will enable the company to consolidate its position in the coming years. The company, which today presented its yearly unaudited results to Euronext, reported €4.32 million in revenue in 2025, a 2.85% increase YoY, with reported EBITDA of €598,509 (13.8% margin). The company's VIROO XRaaS line, which includes the international commercialisation of its proprietary VIROO platform, closed at €1.95 million, up from €1.73 million in 2024, reflecting the consolidation of the company's business model and alignment with its last two strategic plans. These results confirm the strength of the current business model and the company’s ability to absorb expansion costs with discipline—translating growth into value for shareholders—and show it is ready for selective inorganic opportunities. Operating costs were managed with discipline despite a 22.55% increase in personnel expenses to €3.20 million (from €2.61 million in 2024), attributable to inorganic growth, namely the acquisition of Simumatik. Virtualware is a leading European provider of virtual reality technologies for global corporations, focused on developing its own technology, VIROO, which enables the seamless deployment of virtual reality applications and is used by energy companies, nuclear plant manufacturers, and the defense and training industries. “These results confirm that we can integrate acquisitions and expand internationally while maintaining strong profitability. Virtualware is entirely capable of handling growth efficiently and keeps working on VR and real-time 3D technologies that can make a dent in strategic industries. We are ready to move forward with new opportunities,” said Unai Extremo, CEO of Virtualware, who founded the company in 2004 ...

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the 10 Buzzing AI Stocks on Market Radar. On February 3, UBS analyst Stephen Ju raised the price target on the stock to $311.00 (from $310.00) while maintaining a Buy rating. The firm views AMZN as a coiled spring ahead of its 4Q25 results. Amazon is scheduled to report its 4Q25 results on February 5, with the firm modestly raising its price target after rolling forward valuation assumptions by one quarter and increasing estimates for AWS revenue and Capital expenditures. Highlighting plans to double capacity by 2027, the firm has raised its aggregated 4Q25-4Q27 CapEx estimates from $300B to $344B (AWS $225B to $260B). It noted that the market is yet to price in a scenario where AWS revenue doubles by 2028 following the step up in capital intensity. This, they estimate, could generate an additional $20 billion in free cash flow that year. The firm further remarked that 4Q25 results mark the second quarter of AWS acceleration, expecting investor confidence to continue improving and supporting further outperformance. As 4Q25 results marks the second quarter of AWS acceleration, we expect investor conviction to continue to rise and drive outperformance as capital continues to rotate into AMZN shares. And as we have called out before, the benefits of its other investments across all of e-commerce, content, and LEO – in the form of faster GMV, advertising, and data/access revenue – should also add to FCF upward revisions as well. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) is an American technology company offering e-commerce, cloud computing, and other services, including digital streaming and artificial intelligence solutions.

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is one of the 10 Buzzing AI Stocks on Market Radar. On February 3, Freedom Capital Markets analyst Saken Ismailov raised the price target on the stock to $825.00 (from $800.00) while maintaining a Buy rating. The rating affirmation follows Meta’s fourth-quarter 2025 results. The tech giant reported earnings that topped estimates and issued stronger-than-expected sales guidance. The company exceeded consensus expectations across all key metrics, the firm noted. In particular, the company’s top-line growth was supported by record holiday-season demand and AI-driven improvements in ad efficiency. While AI infrastructure capital expenditure did significantly increase as well, Meta’s free cash flow generation was higher than market expectations. Looking ahead, company management offered optimistic guidance for the first quarter of 2026, reaffirming that absolute operating profit in 2026 will exceed 2025 levels.

Advertising monetization is anticipated to drive returns over time. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
