#Rumble #NorthernData #MergerAgreement #AI #CloudComputing #HighPerformanceComputing #GPU #Tether #Acquisition #PublicExchangeOffer #StockExchange #RegulatoryApprovals #MergersAndAcquisitions #ShareholderLoan #BusinessDeal #TechIndustry
According to BlockBeats, U.S. video and cloud platform Rumble has signed a business merger agreement with Frankfurt-listed AI and high-performance computing infrastructure company Northern Data. Rumble plans to initiate a voluntary public exchange offer for all outstanding shares of Northern Data.
This merger will provide Rumble with one of Europe's largest GPU asset portfolios, enhancing its presence in the cloud computing and artificial intelligence sectors. The deal also strengthens Rumble's collaboration with Tether, which has committed to providing substantial customer and commercial support for the transaction.
Under the acquisition offer, each Northern Data share can be exchanged for 2.0281 newly issued Rumble Class A shares, with no minimum acceptance threshold. This means the transaction can proceed even if only a few shareholders accept the offer. However, this exchange ratio is lower than the 2.319 shares proposed when Rumble first announced the acquisition plan in August, which valued the potential deal at approximately $1.17 billion.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the first or second quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions. Upon completion, Northern Data shares will be delisted. If all outstanding shares participate in the exchange, Northern Data shareholders will own about 30.4% of the merged company. Additionally, Rumble will assume Northern Data's approximately €610 million ($705 million) shareholder loan owed to Tether. Half of this loan will be converted into Rumble shares at $7.88 per share, while the remaining portion will be refinanced through a new secured loan provided by Tether.#Rumble #NorthernData #MergerAgreement #AI #CloudComputing #HighPerformanceComputing #GPU #Tether #Acquisition #PublicExchangeOffer #StockExchange #RegulatoryApprovals #MergersAndAcquisitions #ShareholderLoan #BusinessDeal #TechIndustry
🚀 Tether Data Unveils QVAC Fabric LLM for Versatile AI Model Training
#TetherData #QVACFabricLLM #AI #LargeLanguageModel #LLM #AIModelTraining #FineTuning #OpenSource #HuggingFace #GPU #ConsumerHardware #LLama3 #Qwen3 #Gemma3 #AIDevelopment
According to PANews, Tether Data has introduced QVAC Fabric LLM, a new comprehensive large language model (LLM) inference runtime environment and fine-tuning framework. This innovation allows large language models to be run, trained, and customized directly on everyday hardware such as consumer-grade GPUs, laptops, and even smartphones. Tasks that previously required high-end cloud servers or specialized NVIDIA systems can now be executed locally on users' existing devices.
QVAC Fabric LLM enhances the llama.cpp ecosystem by adding fine-tuning support for modern models like LLama3, Qwen3, and Gemma3. It supports training on a wide range of GPUs, including those from AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, Apple, and mobile chips, challenging the long-held belief that meaningful AI development depends on specialized hardware from a single vendor. Tether Data has released QVAC Fabric LLM as open-source software under the Apache 2.0 license and has made multi-platform binaries and ready-to-use adapters available on Hugging Face. Developers can begin fine-tuning with just a few commands, lowering the barrier to AI customization.#TetherData #QVACFabricLLM #AI #LargeLanguageModel #LLM #AIModelTraining #FineTuning #OpenSource #HuggingFace #GPU #ConsumerHardware #LLama3 #Qwen3 #Gemma3 #AIDevelopment

Nvidia has announced a $2 billion investment in AI infrastructure provider CoreWeave, making it the company's second-largest shareholder. According to PANews, this move aims to accelerate their collaboration on data center construction in the United States. The investment, priced at $87.20 per share, will increase Nvidia's holdings by approximately 23 million shares, significantly boosting its stake in CoreWeave.
CoreWeave plans to use the funds to expedite land and power acquisitions, research and development, and team expansion, rather than purchasing Nvidia processors. The company aims to establish over 5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity by 2030. Originally a cryptocurrency mining firm, CoreWeave has transitioned into a "new cloud" service provider, renting Nvidia GPUs to technology and AI companies.#Nvidia #CoreWeave #AI #DataCenter #Investment #Cloud #GPU #USExpansion #TechNews #AIInfrastructure #Cryptocurrency
🚀 Korean Scientist Predicts Shift from HBM to HBF Due to AI Demands
#AI #HBM #HBF #ArtificialIntelligence #DataRequirements #TechnologyDevelopment #MemoryCentricComputing #GPU #ChipArchitecture
Recently, Professor Kim Jeong-ho, known as the 'Father of HBM' from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, highlighted the increasing importance of artificial intelligence's thinking and reasoning capabilities. According to Jin10, during the 'HBF Research Content and Technology Development Strategy Briefing,' Kim emphasized that the transition from text to voice interfaces will inevitably lead to a dramatic increase in data requirements. Kim predicts that due to HBM's inability to meet the rapidly growing demand, the industry will inevitably adopt HBF. Currently, the structure involves vertically connecting up to two graphics processing units (GPUs) and attaching HBM alongside GPUs to handle operations. However, in the future, the simultaneous attachment of HBM and HBF could eliminate capacity limitations. Once the MCC (Memory-Centric Computing) architecture, which organically combines CPU, GPU, and memory on a single basic chip, is completed, the required HBF capacity will further increase. From 2038 onwards, the demand for HBF is expected to surpass that of HBM.#AI #HBM #HBF #ArtificialIntelligence #DataRequirements #TechnologyDevelopment #MemoryCentricComputing #GPU #ChipArchitecture

🚀 SHA-256 vs. Scrypt Mining in 2026: Key Differences in Hardware and Revenue
#SHA256 #Scrypt #Cryptocurrency #Mining #Bitcoin #Litecoin #ASIC #GPU #ProofOfWork #CryptoRevenue #CryptoMining2026 #MiningHardware #MiningRisks #BTC #LTC
In 2026, the mining ecosystems of SHA-256 and Scrypt exhibit distinct differences in terms of hardware requirements, revenue structures, and associated risks. According to NS3.AI, these two proof-of-work algorithms cater to different segments of the cryptocurrency mining industry. SHA-256, primarily used for Bitcoin mining, demands specialized hardware known as ASICs, which are designed for high efficiency and performance. In contrast, Scrypt, often associated with Litecoin, allows for more flexibility in hardware, enabling the use of both ASICs and GPUs.
The revenue structure for miners also varies between the two algorithms. SHA-256 miners typically benefit from higher rewards due to Bitcoin's market dominance and value. However, this comes with increased competition and operational costs. Scrypt miners, while potentially facing lower rewards, may experience less competition and reduced costs, offering a different risk-reward balance.
As the mining landscape continues to evolve, understanding these differences is crucial for miners looking to optimize their operations and manage risks effectively.#SHA256 #Scrypt #Cryptocurrency #Mining #Bitcoin #Litecoin #ASIC #GPU #ProofOfWork #CryptoRevenue #CryptoMining2026 #MiningHardware #MiningRisks #BTC #LTC
