Crusoe in talks to raise 3 billion dollars at a 30 billion dollar valuation

Crusoe is not a lab, it is the landlord to the labs, and tripling its valuation in a year says more about how scarce AI compute still is than anything happening inside any single model release. Backing from Nvidia and Salesforce Ventures also means the chipmaker is investing directly in the infrastructure that burns through its own chips, a neat closed loop worth watching. The risk worth flagging is concentration, since if only a handful of companies end up owning the data centers everyone rents from, that is its own kind of power to keep an eye on.
