Raspberry Pi targets $40M London IPO
British single-board computer maker Raspberry Pi Ltd has confirmed plans to list on the London Stock Exchange in June, aiming to raise approximately $40 million through the sale of existing shares representing up to 10% of the company. Proceeds will be used to strengthen distribution in education and design consulting and to pursue mass-production opportunities. Existing investors Arm and Lansdowne Partners have agreed to subscribe for shares worth $35 million and up to $20 million, respectively, in the IPO. Raspberry Pi, which has sold more than 60 million units since 2012, reported a pretax profit of $38.2 million on revenue of $265.8 million in 2023 and expects 8.4 million sales in 2024, targeting an addressable market of $21.2 billion. Executives called the listing a milestone for the 'British success story.'
Raspberry Pi's IPO reflects growth in edge computing and AI demand but has limited direct impact on the AdTech/MarTech ecosystem.

Meta Muse boosts AMD as AI agents shift workloads to CPUs
The rise of personal AI agents is shifting some AI workloads from GPUs to CPUs, benefiting AMD and Intel. Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots, both running on AMD-powered virtual machines, have driven demand and boosted AMD's stock. AMD's data center revenue more than doubled to $6.7 billion in Q2 2026, and the company now holds about 46% of the x86 CPU market. While Nvidia remains dominant in GPUs, analysts see AMD as a strong contender in the CPU space for agentic workloads. Meta and OpenAI are largely CPU-agnostic, and major cloud providers are developing custom Arm-based chips, adding competition. The CPU market is projected to reach $220 billion by 2030, with AMD aiming for over half of it.

OpenAI absent from Nvidia's AI agent safety consortium
Nvidia launched a consortium of over 100 companies dedicated to solving rogue AI agents, called the Open Agent Safety Platform. OpenAI, along with Amazon, Google, and Apple, did not publicly sign on, despite OpenAI being a major player and Anthropic supporting it. However, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company supports Nvidia's work and is collaborating on OpenShell, a sandbox component. OpenAI is developing its own safeguards and has its own consortium, Defense Factory, with partners like Anthropic, AWS, and Google. The platform includes a proprietary hardware element (Nvidia Sentry on BlueField-4 DPUs) which may deter some from full commitment. Hugging Face, which Nvidia acquired for $12.9 billion, contributed a feature to detect unauthorized agent activity.
