That was the gist of a mixed week for tech’s first big slug of earnings reports, with more coming next week: Amazon, Advanced Micro Devices, Samsung, Qualcomm and others.Another positive sign this week for the entire tech industry ecosystem was Rubrik’s IPO, after which its shares jumped 16% in their public market debut. IPOs, in a long drought lately, are what drive returns that are then invested back into startups, not to mention Teslas, local restaurants and already overpriced homes.Meanwhile, IBM bought HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, and Nvidia dug under the cushions of its cash-flow couch to buy GPU clustering startup Run:ai for $700 million. But Salesforce decided spending multiple billions on Informatica didn’t pencil out.As concerns rise about the cost and time to train and run AI models, many companies are offering smaller and more efficient models — a trend that’s only likely to grow in coming months.Lots of action on the policy front this week, as President Biden signed the ByteDance sell-or-ban bill, raising the distinct possibility that TikTok could exit the United States — though there’s a lot of legal wrangling to come before that happens. Two other big policy dictums came down as well: The FCC reinstated net neutrality rules that Trump ended, and the FTC banned noncompete clauses.Check out the full article https://siliconangle.com/2024/04/26/ai-drives-cloud-growth-cloud-growth-drives-earnings-upside/To see John and Dave in action, follow theCUBE's live event coverage at https://www.thecube.net/For daily news for CIOs, check out our parent publication at https://siliconangle.com/Watch the full lineup of theCUBE Pod https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLenh213llmcYe7nXWic9QsnHUD5fqbEwuPeople mentioned in this podcast:
