The cloud-based AI infrastructure company is still growing like a weed. CoreWeave (CRWV +6.54%), a provider of cloud-based AI infrastructure services, went public last March at $40 per share. Today, it trades at nearly $100. Let's see why this stock skyrocketed, and where it might head over the next 12 months. Why did CoreWeave impress the bulls? CoreWeave was originally an Ethereum (ETH +0.58%) mining company, but it abandoned that business model after the 2018 cryptocurrency crash. It subsequently repurposed those GPUs to run AI tasks remotely. In 2022, it spent $100 million on Nvidia's (NVDA +3.50%) H100 data center GPUs to support that expansion. It also leveraged those GPUs as collateral to secure additional financing to purchase even more GPUs and open new data centers. CoreWeave operated only three data centers at the end of 2022, but now operates 33 centers across the U.S. and Europe. It claims its dedicated GPUs enable it to process AI tasks roughly 35 times faster and 80% cheaper than larger and more diversified cloud platforms like Amazon (AMZN 0.35%) Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (MSFT +2.83%) Azure. As the AI market expanded, CoreWeave's revenue skyrocketed from $16 million in 2022 to $1.9 billion in 2024, and analysts expect that figure to surge to $5.1 billion in 2025. Expand NASDAQ : CRWV CoreWeave Today's Change ( 6.54 %) $ 5.88 Current Price $ 95.83 Key Data Points Market Cap $45B Day's Range $ 88.70 - $ 97.74 52wk Range $ 33.52 - $ 187.00 Volume 15M Avg Vol 31M Gross Margin 49.23 % From 2025 to 2027, they expect its revenue to nearly quadruple to $19.5 billion, with profitability by the final year. That growth should be driven by its massive AI infrastructure deals with Microsoft, OpenAI, and other AI software giants. As it scales up its business, its gross margins should gradually expand as its operating expenses decline. Where could its stock head over the next 12 months? With a market cap of $46.9 billion, CoreWeave trades at less than four ...

Readers respond to an editorial about how smaller classes lead to better educational outcomes Re your editorial ( The Guardian view on inclusive schools: ministers should recognise that class size matters, 3 February ), after 25 years of teaching large primary classes, 2020-21 brought a revelation. During the spring 2021 lockdown, my class was reduced to about 18 children, who were either the children of key workers or had special educational needs and disabilities (Send). For the first time ever, I could sit with an individual child for five whole minutes to resolve a maths difficulty, or have an in-depth reading discussion. As a class we did science investigations we could normally only dream of, due to having enough space and resources. Send children grew the confidence to give opinions or ask for help. Every child lucky enough to be in school truly fulfilled their potential in a way that could never normally happen. It was a vision of what education could be. However, March quickly arrived and the children were back to having no elbow room to write properly, and sharing vital resources between six. Continue reading...

The search for television host Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother entered its second full week on Monday, with investigators returning over the weekend for a new search of her Arizona home. They appear no closer to finding her, or identifying an alleged abductor. Detectives are analyzing a purported ransom note giving a deadline of 5pm MT (7pm ET) Monday for Guthrie’s family to pay $6m, a development that prompted the Today show presenter and her siblings to record a video released on Saturday saying: “We will pay”. While investigators believe Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken against her will from her home near Tucson on the night of 31 January, or early on 1 February, they have not confirmed the authenticity of the ransom note, received on Friday by a local TV station in Arizona. “The Nancy Guthrie investigation is ongoing. Follow-up continues at multiple locations. No suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles have been identified. No scheduled press briefings,” the Pima county sheriff’s department said Sunday afternoon in a post on X. “If any significant developments occur in the case, a press conference will be called.” FBI agents and sheriff’s deputies were spotted at the Guthrie residence in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson on Friday, at least the second time they searched the home that authorities designated a crime scene last week after reportedly finding blood and signs of forced entry. Drone footage from Fox News captured one officer poking a long pole into a septic tank on the grounds, and reports said that a vehicle, believed to be Nancy Guthrie’s, was towed away. On Saturday NBC News reported that authorities were also at the Tucson home of Savannah Guthrie’s sister, Annie Guthrie. It was “part of a follow-up search in the normal course of the case”, according to NBC, citing an unnamed law enforcement officer. Meanwhile, Chris Nanos, the Pima county sheriff leading the investigation, has been criticized for attending a college basketball game on t...

A diminutive young buck aspires to compete with rhinos and horses in ‘roarball’, but this by-numbers tale is not the greatest of any time Greatest of all time? No. Possibly not even the greatest of half-term. This loud, chaotic and unlovable animated kids’ comedy feels as though it is bordering on AI slop, algorithmically generated and instantly familiar from Zootropolis , Sing and other movies with talking animals. It is a shame, because it has a real-life inspiration: basketball star Stephen Curry, who was repeatedly told at the start of his career that he was too skinny and too small to make it as a pro. Curry is a producer here, and has a performing role. But in spite of this connection, Goat lacks heart and soul, and a sense of genuine emotions. What it does have is some pretty decent voice acing, bringing a degree of charm to the movie. Will Harris (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) is a goat who has grown up dreaming of playing professional “roarball”, a fiercer and faster version of basketball. But Will is a “small” and roar players are all “bigs” – powerful beasts such as rhinos and horses. Will’s hero and the star of his favourite team, the Thorns, is a panther called Jet (Gabrielle Union), a champ close to retirement but determined to win the league. When Will gets a shot at joining the Thorns, he is laughed at, underrated but undeterred. Continue reading...

Businesses are generating more video than ever. From years of broadcast archives to thousands of store cameras and countless hours of production footage, most of it just sits unused on servers, unwatched and unanalyzed. This is dark data: a massive, untapped resource that companies collect automatically but almost never use in a meaningful way. To tackle the problem, Aza Kai (CEO) and Hiraku Yanagita (COO), two former Googlers who spent nearly a decade working together at Google Japan, decided to build their own solution. The duo co-founded InfiniMind, a Tokyo-based startup developing infrastructure that converts petabytes of unviewed video and audio into structured, queryable business data. “My co-founder, who spent a decade leading brand and data solutions at Google Japan, and I saw this inflection point coming while we were still at Google,” Kai said. By 2024, the technology had matured, and the market demand had become clear enough that the co-founders felt compelled to build the company themselves, he added. Kai, who previously worked at Google Japan across cloud, machine learning, ad systems, and video recommendation models and later led data science teams, explained that current solutions force a tradeoff. Earlier approaches could label objects in individual frames, but they couldn’t track narratives, understand causality, or answer complex questions about video content. For clients with decades of broadcast archives and petabytes of footage, even basic questions about their content often went unanswered. What really changed was the progress in vision-language models between 2021 and 2023. That’s when video AI started moving beyond simple object tagging, Kai noted. Falling GPU costs and annual performance gains of roughly 15–20% over the last decade helped, but the bigger story was capability until recently, models just couldn’t do the job, he told TechCrunch. InfiniMind recently secured $5.8 million in seed funding, led by UTEC and joined by CX2, Headline As...

After launching a “Home Safe” feature that lets users notify friends and family when they’ve arrived home safely, Snapchat is now introducing additional alerts to inform others when users have arrived at other destinations. The social media giant announced on Monday that with its new “Arrival Notifications,” users can now set one-time or recurring alerts for locations beyond their home, providing an automatic way to share when they’ve arrived at specific places. “Arrival Notifications now work for everyday moments — like letting someone know you’re back for the night while traveling, or automatically sharing when you arrive at a weekly class, practice, or meeting — without needing to remember to send a message,” the company wrote in a blog post. Image Credits:Snapchat As with the platform’s Home Safe alerts, Arrival Notifications can only be sent to friends you choose to share your location with. It’s worth noting that location sharing on Snap Map is off by default. No one can see your location or receive an alert unless you choose to share it, Snapchat explained. One-time alerts expire after they’re sent or after 24 hours. To use Arrival Notifications, you need to share your location with a trusted friend that you want to keep in the loop. Then, you need to tap on your friendship profile and scroll down to “Arrival Notifications.” You can pick a location on the map and give it a personal name. For example, you could set the location for your “run club” or the location for “piano lessons.” You can then choose a one-time or recurring alert, after which Snapchat will notify your friend when you arrive. The new feature comes as Snapchat announced last summer that Snap Map now has more than 400 million monthly active users. Snap Map, which launched in 2017, was originally a way for users to see their friends’ locations and browse public snaps from around the world. The feature now also offers ways for users to discover local hotspots and find things to do. Techcrunch ev...

LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / At the 2026 AHA Rural Health Care Leadership Conference, Amazon is showcasing Addison Care®, the nation's most comprehensive AI-driven virtual care and TeleCare orchestration platform, purpose-built to address the most urgent challenges facing rural healthcare systems today. Presented in collaboration with Amazon Web Services, Addison Care is being introduced to rural health leaders as a deployment-ready solution that extends care from the clinic into the home, augments overstretched providers, supports family caregivers, and delivers continuous, longitudinal engagement for aging and chronically ill populations-without adding staff or disrupting workflows. Unlike traditional point solutions that address only fragments of care, Addison Care functions as a unified orchestration layer spanning the patient at home, the clinic, the EHR, the hospital, caregivers, payers, and intermediary TeleCare services. The result is a continuously active care presence-always on, always engaged-designed to close the gaps legacy healthcare infrastructure was never built to solve. "Rural healthcare doesn't suffer from a lack of ideas. It suffers from a lack of scalable, integrated execution," said Anthony Dohrmann, CEO of Electronic Caregiver, the creator and provider of Addison Care. "Addison is not another tool. It is care infrastructure-ready now." Senior Woman in Kitchen with Addison Care Console · Electronic Caregiver, inc. Solving Rural Health's Hardest Problems-Together, Not in Pieces Rural providers face compounding challenges: clinician shortages, aging populations, chronic disease burden, geographic isolation, caregiver burnout, and increasing pressure to reduce hospital readmissions while improving outcomes. While many technologies claim to help, most operate as disconnected point solutions-adding complexity without resolving the underlying problem. Addison Care was engineered to do what fragmented systems cannot: S...
