Microsoft to invest $400 million in Switzerland on AI, cloud computing
Ammon News - Microsoft will invest $400 million in Switzerland, the company said on Monday, with the money going towards developing its cloud computing and artificial intelligence infrastructure. The U.S. tech company announced the investment at a meeting of Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin and its vice chair Brad Smith in Bern. Microsoft, which employs 1,000 people in Switzerland, did not give details on how many jobs the investment would create. The money will be used to expand and upgrade its four data centres near Geneva and Zurich, responding to increased demand for AI and cloud computing services in Switzerland, it said. The expansion will serve existing and new customers and allow data to remain within Swiss borders - an important requirement for sectors like healthcare, finance and government. Microsoft will also expand its partnership work with small and medium-sized companies and step up training efforts to help people use AI and digital tools.

Mutual Threats Between Trump and Putin: U.S. Considers Sanctions, Russia Warns of Cracking Down on Western Companies
As tensions between Washington and Moscow intensify, former U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering imposing new sanctions on Russia in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine, while Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to "choke" remaining Western companies operating in Russia. اضافة اعلان According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump's administration is contemplating sanctions that stop short of targeting Russia's banking sector. Instead, options under review include measures intended to pressure Putin into agreeing to a 30-day ceasefire to revive stalled peace talks. Despite the public tough talk, Trump has left the door open to reversing course. 'He's killing a lot of people. I don't know what's wrong with him—what the hell happened to him?' Trump said of Putin, expressing frustration with the Russian president's stance and the slow pace of negotiations. Trump, who once promised to end the war on his first day in office, is now reportedly considering walking away from peace efforts altogether if his next push doesn't yield results. The consequences of such a move remain unclear, including whether the U.S. would continue military aid to Ukraine. White House spokesperson Caroline Leavitt reaffirmed that Trump remains committed to negotiating peace but is keeping 'all options on the table.' Putin, meanwhile, responded sharply. During a meeting with Russian business leaders, he voiced support for efforts to curtail Western tech firms like Zoom and Microsoft, which now offer only limited services in Russia. 'We need to choke them. I absolutely agree and say this without hesitation,' Putin declared. He criticized Western companies that withdrew following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, accusing them of attempting to strangle the Russian economy despite the favorable conditions Russia had provided for them. 'We didn't expel anyone—they left on their own,' he said, warning that those who departed shouldn't expect a warm welcome if they try to return. Putin also reinforced restrictions that complicate the exit process for Western businesses, often forcing them to sell assets at heavy losses. While some companies have retained buy-back options, others like McDonald's have exited completely. 'Now if they want to come back, should we roll out the red carpet? Of course not,' Putin said. Speculation is rising that some U.S. firms might be exploring reentry amid Trump's efforts to reset relations with Moscow. Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund and Putin's economic envoy, claimed in April that several American companies had expressed interest in returning. However, none have made public declarations so far. These mutual threats and maneuvers signal a deepening rift between the two powers, underscoring the volatile mix of diplomacy, economics, and military posturing defining the Ukraine conflict's broader geopolitical impact.

NVIDIA Expands Its AI Ecosystem - Jordan News
NVIDIA has unveiled its latest suite of technologies aimed at sustaining the surge in demand for AI computing power and solidifying its central role in the industry. اضافة اعلان On Monday, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang kicked off Computex — Asia's largest electronics trade show, held in Taiwan — by promoting the company's new products and strengthening ties with a region that plays a vital role in the tech supply chain. This comes as NVIDIA's stock rallies again following a deal-making tour in the Middle East as part of a business delegation led by former President Donald Trump. Returning to his homeland, Taiwan, Huang introduced updates to NVIDIA's lineup of accelerator chips — a cornerstone of developing and operating AI software and services. The primary goal is to broaden NVIDIA's product reach and remove barriers to AI adoption across more industries and countries. Speaking about the region, Huang stated: "When new markets must be built, they must be built from here — the heart of the computing ecosystem." New Chips and Computing Systems Huang announced that the next-generation GB 300 systems will launch in Q3 of this year. These will mark a significant upgrade to NVIDIA's high-end Grace Blackwell AI systems, which are already being deployed by major cloud service providers. NVIDIA also introduced a new version of its fully integrated data center computers. Through its NVLink Fusion products, customers will now have the option to pair their own CPUs with NVIDIA's AI chips — or use NVIDIA CPUs with third-party AI accelerators. Openness in NVIDIA's Designs Until now, NVIDIA systems have only operated using its own components. However, this new openness in design — including vital connectivity components that ensure fast communication between processors and accelerators — will offer data center clients greater flexibility and introduce a measure of competition, all while keeping NVIDIA's technology at the core of the ecosystem. Major clients like Microsoft and Amazon are working on designing their own processors and accelerators, potentially challenging NVIDIA's dominant role in data centers. Huang also revealed that companies such as MediaTek, Marvell Technology, and Alchip Technologies plan to develop custom AI chips compatible with NVIDIA-based devices. Additionally, Qualcomm and Fujitsu are set to produce custom processors that will operate with NVIDIA accelerators in computers.
