In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I take a closer look at what may be the biggest B2B deal in tech history, Larry Ellison's $100B+ agreement with OpenAI. Highlights00:15 — We've seen some extraordinary things happen with OpenAI and the alliances it has had. For the first several years of its existence, it was tightly paired with Microsoft. That has changed dramatically now, and OpenAI is now tightly entwined with Oracle.02:01 — What Oracle said in a document it filed was that it has a cloud services contract that will pay it more than $30 billion annually, starting in fiscal 2028. I doubt that Sam Altman at OpenAI wants to go out every year and shop around for new cloud infrastructure providers. So, I think it's reasonable to expect this is going to last two years, three years, perhaps more.02:39 — So now, OpenAI, aligned with Oracle, could have picked anybody. What happened to the Microsoft and OpenAI bromance? Going back to 2019, Microsoft invested $1 billion into OpenAI. In 2021, it followed up with more, and in 2023, at the beginning of the year, the companies each put out announcements saying: We have entered into a deeper, longer-term, incredibly strategic, two-way technology transfer.03:38 — And suddenly we see this change. In just two short years after this big announcement by both of them, we see, in the White House, the first day of President Trump's second term, who shows up but Larry Ellison, Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank, and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, to announce a $500 billion initiative called Project Stargate.04:22 — You could have looked at this and said: Microsoft is the biggest tech company in the world. It's the biggest cloud company. It has the most money. It has all these advantages. They'll never let OpenAI slip away. But they did, or was it not so much that Microsoft let it slip away as Larry Ellison said, Hey, I have a better approach. I have a better way here.05:02 — But these shifts we're seeing — where new types of business are done in different ways, with different combinations and partnerships — are challenging the status quo. All these companies have to continue to do new and better things in new and better ways that drive more value and better business outcomes for customers. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed and Lomax from Outsized Ventures unpack what's happening in European tech and venture capital.This week: Why Series A in Europe now often means “multi-seed” and what founders should do about it, Germany's €100B industrial policy push and whether it can actually deliver, and the Bank of England's rate cut as a red flare for the economy. Plus: the OECD's warning on corporate underinvestment, why the EU's Chips Act 2.0 risks missing the AI boom, and the latest in the global AI race from GPT-5 rumours to billion-dollar raises. Also: Clay's $100M relationship-intelligence war chest, N8N's unicorn momentum, and a Spanish autonomous tractor that's rewriting farm economics.
The original Opportunity Zone program drove more than $100B into real estate and business investment, but it also faced criticism it missed its mark, failing to spur development in the areas that needed it most.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act just made OZs permanent and it aims to fix all that, tightening the rules on what areas may be designated OZs, lowering the area median income threshold and heavily incentivizing rural development.On this week's First Draft Live, Steve Glickman — co-author of the original OZ program and CEO of Statt — said OZs have been a wild success, especially at spurring much-needed housing.“You're talking bang for the buck that's unparalleled,” he said.Glickman said the new rules will make OZ 2.0 even better, though how much it drives rural development all comes down to designating sites at “the nexus between need and investability.”Register on Bisnow.com to join next Friday's conversation live, or check back here for the conversation after it airs.
Apple (AAPL) shares have rallied this week, representing one of the strongest single-stock moves among the Mag 7 names.

Today's Headlines: Putin wants to meet with Trump next week to talk about ending the war in Ukraine, and Trump says he's hoping to follow that up with a three-way summit with Zelensky. While that's brewing, Trump's playing tariff hardball—he just doubled tariffs on Indian goods to 50% to punish them for buying Russian oil (which… they already said they were going to keep doing). He also announced 100% tariffs on imported semiconductor chips unless companies build in the US, but Apple's apparently promised $100B in US investments, so they're cool. In Georgia, a 28-year-old Army sergeant shot five fellow soldiers at Fort Stewart before being tackled by other troops. Everyone's expected to recover, and the Army's investigating. The Library of Congress had to admit that major sections of the Constitution—like habeas corpus and the emoluments clause—were missing from their site due to a “coding error.” Sure. RFK Jr., now head of Health & Human Services, just canceled $500B in contracts for mRNA vaccine development because he doesn't trust the science. Meanwhile, OpenAI inked a $1 deal to give the federal government access to its AI tools next year. And for some good news: crime in the U.S. hit a 20-year low in 2024, and early 2025 data says it's still going down.

Under pressure from Trump's tariff threats, Apple just announced it is pouring another $100 billion into U.S. manufacturing to protect iPhones, and its bottom line. And the company announces its new “American Manufacturing Program” to reshore Apple's supply chain and boost U.S. production of critical components.Featured Guest: Rob Biederman, managing partner, Asymmetric Capital Partners
Kevin Green kickstarts Thursday's coverage with a look at two key headlines: Apple (AAPL) investing an additional $100B into U.S. manufacturing and Pres. Trump's latest tariff impact on the semiconductor space. For Apple, KG identifies the impact it could have on not only its supply-chain but other companies looking to emulate Apple's onshoring model. Then, KG looks at the 100% tariff hike on chipmakers and why it might be walked back with exemptions for companies like TSMC (TSM).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Apple shares climb after announcing it will invest another $100B in the US, bringing the total amount the tech giant will invest over the next four years to $600B.

President Donald Trump is imposing an additional 25 percent tariff on India, lifting the total rate to 50 percent. Trump, writing in an Wednesday executive order, said India's government is “currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.”Trump is expected to announce on Aug. 6 that Apple will increase its U.S. investment commitment by an additional $100 billion. The new pledge comes on top of the more than $500 billion in investments the tech giant unveiled in February for the next four years.
Wednesday evening, Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook is expected to join President Trump at the White House to announce another $100 billion investment into U.S. manufacturing. As Marley Kayden explains, it can enhance U.S. national security by avoiding reliance on other countries to build the tech. However, she notes concerns from analysts that it can also heavily ramp up iPhone prices.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

It’s been six months since the announcement, where they said they would spend $100B almost immediately, but now they have a more modest goal of building a small data center by the end of the year in Ohio.

This investment was made alongside Stargate, giving them a role in the physical infrastructure needed for AI. Altman, though, has been eager to secure computing power as quickly as possible and has proceeded without Softbank. Publicly, they say it’s a great partnership, and they look forward to advancing projects in multiple states Oracle was part of Stargate, but the recent 30B deal just signed with includes a commitment of 4.5 gigawatts of capacity, and would consume the equivalent power of more than two Hoover Dams, or about 4 million homes.
