The funding strengthens its push to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic as the company prepares for a potential IPO and faces growing US restrictions over security concerns.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

Customers will be able to purchase the models through the Google Cloud Marketplace and draw down GCP commitments, with general availability planned in the coming weeks. Microsoft remains OpenAI's primary cloud partner.

                                    GitHub has placed copies of 99.99999% of its repositories in Azure as agent-driven traffic and data center capacity constraints accelerate its infrastructure migration. This engineering breakdown explains how moving write coordination from entire repositories to individual references reduces contention, delivering 3–4x higher throughput in internal tests.
                                &lt;/span&gt;

It connects those projections to hyperscaler budgets, power availability, and the revenue needed to justify the buildout.
