Las Vegas – October 04, 2026 -- Vision Group debuted its LiLic Sidecar high-voltage direct current backup system at YOTTA 2026 in Las Vegas on September 29-30, targeting the power demands of high-density AI data centers. The product connects directly to an 800V DC busbar (±400V) and is compatible with the OCP ORV4 open rack standard, positioning it as a backup option for next-generation high-voltage DC architectures.

San Francisco – October 02, 2026 -- Corgi Insurance has launched a new insurance program covering data centers across their entire lifecycle, from construction through operations, including coverage for GPU hardware powering AI workloads.

Program consolidates coverage previously spread across multiple carriers and policies

Corgi's program bundles builders' risk and delay-in-start-up coverage for construction phases with property, infrastructure, and business income coverage once facilities become operational. The infrastructure coverage spans power systems, cooling, and UPS equipment, protecting against losses when covered incidents take a facility offline.

Taipei – – October 02, 2026 -- GIGABYTE will launch a 64GB unified memory version of its AI TOP ATOM desktop AI system on October 23, expanding its existing 128GB offering and giving enterprise teams a lower-entry option for on-premises AI development.

GIGABYTE adds a second memory tier to its NVIDIA DGX Spark-based desktop platform

The new configuration retains the hardware design of AI TOP ATOM, which is built on the NVIDIA DGX Spark platform, and targets developers, researchers, and enterprise teams that need to match memory capacity to specific model sizes and multitasking workloads. The 64GB and 128GB versions now form a two-tier product lineup covering use cases from early proof-of-concept testing to practical deployment.

Kaohsiung City – October 02, 2026 -- Zettabyte Co., Ltd. has donated AI computing hardware and its zSUITE software platform to National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, giving faculty and students across the university's 10 colleges access to managed GPU compute clusters for teaching and research.

Donation agreement grants campus-wide access to cluster management tools

The two parties signed the donation agreement at the university, with zSUITE providing administrators a single view of compute allocation and system operation across departments. The platform is designed to let faculty, students and research teams focus on teaching and experiments rather than infrastructure maintenance.

San Francisco – October 02, 2026 -- Supabase has raised $150 million in new funding led by GIC, with Alphabet's independent growth fund CapitalG, IronArc, and SquarePeg also participating, just four months after closing a $500 million Series F round. Alongside the raise, the open source Postgres development platform announced it is acquiring Turso, a database platform built to handle high-volume provisioning for agentic workloads.

Supabase now adds 1 million users and 4 million databases every month

Seventy percent of those new databases are created by agents or AI-driven tools rather than human developers, the company said. The figure follows a 600% year-over-year increase in database creation reported in June, when agent-driven deployments had already become the majority on the platform.

Palo Alto – October 01, 2026 -- PaleBlueDot AI has closed a $200 million Series C financing round led by ComputeCore, valuing the Silicon Valley-based AI infrastructure provider at $3.2 billion.

Funding round follows January's $150 million Series B

The new round builds on a $150 million Series B announced in January 2026. Existing shareholder B Capital participated again alongside other global investors.

Company has signed more than $5 billion in customer contracts

As of the end of September 2026, PaleBlueDot AI had accumulated over $5 billion in customer contracts. Customers in the U.S. and Japan together generated more than half of the company's monthly revenue.

New York – October 01, 2026 -- Sharon AI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ) has closed its inaugural US$356 million committed senior secured, GPU-backed SPV debt facility, priced at a fixed rate of 9.95% excluding fees.

Facility backs GPU deployment for customer contracts

The debt is secured against the Company's GPUs and associated cash flows, funding the deployment of compute infrastructure dedicated to signed customer contracts. The facility supports Sharon AI's plan to build out more than 68,000 NVIDIA GPUs by mid-2027 and is the first in an expected series of GPU financings.

Goldman Sachs and private credit funds join syndicate

The facility drew marquee Australian, Asian and global investors, including Goldman Sachs and select large private credit funds. Jarden Australia acted as sole financial advisor and arranger on the transaction.

Denver – October 01, 2026 -- LandGate has expanded its spatial intelligence platform to track more than 2,100 data center facilities across 10 European markets, adding site-level power, permitting and connectivity data to its existing U.S. coverage.

The expansion follows LandGate's acquisition by Wood Mackenzie in June 2026 and positions the company as a supplier of site-selection intelligence for hyperscale and AI-driven data center developers operating across Europe.

UK leads European coverage with 500+ facilities amid 70 GW of pending connection requests

The United Kingdom dominates LandGate's European dataset with more than 500 tracked facilities concentrated in the London and Slough corridor, where power connection requests now exceed 70 GW. Germany follows with 450+ facilities centered in Frankfurt, where the EnEfG Act will require new builds to hit a PUE of 1.2 or lower from July 2026 and shift to 100% renewable electricity by 2027.

San Francisco – September 30, 2026 -- Kong Inc. has launched Volcano, an AI-native platform that consolidates durable compute, branchable databases, file storage, authentication and real-time services into a single developer environment for building and deploying AI agents and web applications.

Kong unifies fragmented AI infrastructure into one platform

Volcano addresses a core pain point for developers building AI agents: assembling separate providers for compute, databases, authentication, storage and observability, each with distinct configuration, billing and failure modes. Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong Inc., said the platform lets teams move from a single prompt to a production-ready agent, removing the need to stitch together infrastructure manually.

Troy, Michigan and Chicago – September 30, 2026 -- Virtus Solis Technologies and Brae Systems have closed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement for space-based solar power, marking the world's first commercial orbital solar PPA and a multi-billion-dollar lifetime contract commitment.

Virtus Solis will deliver 100 MW of continuous orbital solar power to Brae's subsea GPU infrastructure

Under the deal, Virtus Solis will supply 100 MW of 24/7 baseload solar power, equivalent to 876,000 MWh annually, transmitted via a dedicated receiving station to be built in Illinois. Brae holds an option to expand capacity to 250 MW, or 2.19 million MWh annually, within three years of initial commercial operations.
