TensorWave Raises $350M Series B for AMD-Powered AI Cloud
TensorWave, an all-AMD AI cloud provider, has raised $350 million in a Series B round at a $1.55 billion valuation. The round was co-led by Magnetar and AMD Ventures, with continued participation from Maverick Silicon, Nexus Venture Partners, and Western Frontier. The funding will expand TensorWave's global AI infrastructure footprint, including deployment of next-generation AMD Instinct MI355X GPU clusters designed for memory-intensive workloads such as large language model training, high-throughput inference, and generative AI applications. The company operates one of the largest AMD-based AI training clusters in North America, with 8,192 AMD Instinct MI325X GPUs online, and has secured more than 2 gigawatts of long-term data center capacity. Customers including Fireworks AI and Luma AI use the infrastructure for production inference and generative AI workloads. TensorWave is expanding its Las Vegas headquarters and hiring across engineering, infrastructure, operations, sales, and customer success roles.
A $350M Series B for AMD-powered AI cloud infrastructure signals expanding compute capacity for AI workloads, which increasingly underpin advertising, marketing, and generative AI applications across the AdTech/MarTech ecosystem.

US suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program
The Trump administration has suspended Microsoft, Adobe, and six other major tech firms—Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro—from the U.S. Permanent Labor Certification program, which facilitates green cards for skilled foreign workers. Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling cited active federal investigations and alleged fraud, noting that no new or pending applications from these companies will be accepted. Vice President JD Vance accused Microsoft of replacing laid-off workers with H-1B visa holders. Microsoft defended its practices, stating that most U.S. employees are American and that 80% of its H-1B petitions were for existing employees. The announcement was made during a White House summit on H-1B fraud, and the administration also plans to investigate nine universities, including Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, over student visa program abuse.

Reflection AI launches open-weight model Beam at lower compute cost
Reflection AI has launched Beam, its first frontier open-weight AI model, claiming it matches leading Chinese models like GLM-5.2 on reasoning benchmarks while using 3-4x less inference compute. The 501B-parameter MoE model (23B active) was trained on 23.8 trillion tokens and features a 1M token context window. It targets enterprises, public sector, and sovereign nations, with plans for 'AI factories' allowing customization on proprietary data. Reflection has raised ~$4.7B from backers including Nvidia and Sequoia, and signed compute deals worth over $7B (including a $6.3B deal with SpaceX) for Nvidia GB300 chips. Independent analyses place Beam around GLM-5.2 level, below DeepSeek V4 Flash on some benchmarks. Beam's weights (under Apache 2.0) and technical details will be released this month via hyperscalers and neoclouds. Additionally, Mistral released 'Mistral Large 4', a 1 trillion-parameter multimodal model. The article also covers the rise of personal AI assistants like Instinct (raising $1B in Series C) and Meta's Muse, alongside a16z's report on AI app adoption and public safety concerns.
