Abu Dhabi's Core42 more than triples US data centre capacity to 60MW https://t.co/y7oezijCDy

[Core42 @core42_ai]

Today we're expanding our U.S. AI infrastructure footprint with a 42MW investment at Lake Mariner in Buffalo, New York increasing total site capacity from 18MW to 60MW.

The new capacity adds NVIDIA and additional AMD infrastructure to the site’s existing foundation, reinforcing Core42’s heterogeneous strategy. It also builds on the success of Maximus, Core42’s AMD deployment ranked No. 20 on the TOP500, validating our ability to deliver high-performance AI infrastructure at global scale.

This investment reflects G42’s continued commitment to scaling production-grade AI compute across the United States.

As demand for production-grade AI compute continues to accelerate, Core42 is scaling the infrastructure backbone needed to support hyperscale, AI-native, and large enterprise workloads across the U.S. and beyond.

[Core42 @core42_ai]

Intelligence needs infrastructure. Models need compute. Compute needs scale. Scale needs trust.

Core42 is built for exactly this, and we're bringing that story to @VivaTech 2026, Europe's largest tech event, as AI Champion.

[Core42 @core42_ai]

Core42 has secured a USD 550 million structured trade finance facility from @HSBC to accelerate AI cloud and compute deployments across the United States and Europe.

This milestone reflects growing institutional confidence in AI infrastructure and reinforces our position as a sovereign AI infrastructure operator serving enterprise, government, and hyperscale customers globally.

For us, this facility means:
→ Faster time-to-market for large-scale capacity buildouts
→ Non-dilutive, disciplined capital aligned to our deployment cycles
→ Strengthened ability to serve enterprise, government, and hyperscale customers at scale

[Core42 @core42_ai]

For AI to deliver measurable ROI, it must move from being a standalone demo to the enterprise operating system, embedded directly into workflows and systems of record. This requires a fundamental shift in how we own, govern, and scale intelligence across regions.

In this session, our Head of Product Management - AI Platform, Subrata Roy, and Senior Product Manager, Daisy Huang, join @Microsoft365 to discuss the transition from shipping AI to industrializing it as a long-term capability.

Cerebras to raise IPO price range to $150 to $160 a share as demand surges, sources say https://t.co/HW13SibIK2

[Talal @G24/7... 😅🇦🇪 @TalalAlKaissi]

Good holistic analysis by @ChrisMurphyHQ

But let me weigh in and add some color on the @G42ai angle. The point about "G42 was not just buying systems, they were underwriting the build" is something that demonstrates the conviction we had in this technology since 2021, but also our bet on the 🇺🇸🤝🇦🇪 partnership more broadly.

Incredibly proud to see our partners at @cerebras and @andrewdfeldman reach this moment.

We backed Cerebras early as both investor and customer (@core42_ai) because their approach to high‑speed inference is truly different, and it shows.

We love what @nvidia, @AMD, @Qualcomm and others have built for this ecosystem, but Cerebras is special. Their wafer‑scale architecture expanded our optionality and let us run heterogeneous infrastructure where price‑performance on inference is obvious. We were extremely excited too when Nvidia "partnered" with @GroqInc

Jevons paradox is playing out in AI: the more efficient the compute, the more demand grows. There is room, and need, for many winners.

A lot has been written about “UAE entlity concentration risk”. In reality, all of our Cerebras deployments to date have been outside the UAE, mainly across clusters in the US. We hope to bring some to the 🇦🇪🇦🇪 soon as well, but the recent landmark deals they’ve signed with others only underscore that Cerebras is not dependent on us – and that is exactly what even "we" want to see as an investor.

We’re excited for this next chapter and proud to continue supporting Cerebras on their journey.
