Quantum computing keeps gaining momentum even though practically it’s years away from wide commercialization, and World Quantum Day April 14 provided an excuse for a lot of announcements.
Among them: Nvidia unveiled AI models for quantum error correction. Dave Vellante and Paul Gillin concluded at Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s quantum day event on theCUBE that artificial intelligence, quantum and high-performance computing will join forces in a new era of computing.
Amazon doubled down on its satellite internet dreams. It said this week said that it will acquire satellite internet company Globalstar, which notably runs Apple’s satellite access, for almost $12 billion, giving it a stronger hand against Elon Musk’s leading Starlink.
On the other hand, Amazon made nice again with onetime enemy Oracle, announcing a plan to establish private, high-speed connectivity between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and the AWS cloud.
The U.S. lead in AI is gone, according to Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence. It’s still a race judging from all the new models that continue to stream out from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and many others — even just this week — but China’s Alibaba also weighed in with its latest and seemingly quite competitive Qwen model.
Then again, the latest U.S. AI company was a shoe outfit until this week: Allbirds is now an AI business, so it says. I say: You’ve got to be kidding. 🫧🫧🫧
More promising is the coming initial public offering of the AI chip developer Cerebras, after a long delay. It announced the IPO plans late Friday. This year is shaping up as a potentially huge year for IPOs, with OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX all expected to go public sometime this year.
Events next week include Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas, where SiliconANGLE, theCUBE and theCUBE Research will be onsite with news, interviews and analysis, for a company that has fulfilled its AI promises made a year ago, and then some. Expect to hear a lot about what’s coming next, in particular AI agents, the theme of the keynote and, it appears, the entire conference.
There’s also SUSECON in Prague, where theCUBE will provide interviews and analysis.
Enterprise earnings get underway next too, with IBM, Intel, ServiceNow and SAP among others.
