Infrastructure
AI infrastructure coverage spans chips (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, custom silicon at the hyperscalers), datacenters (capacity buildouts, power constraints, liquid cooling, geographic distribution), training compute (cluster sizes, supply contracts, multi-billion dollar deals), and runtime infrastructure (inference platforms, deployment tooling, vector databases). PulseAugur's infrastructure feed pulls from financial filings, vendor announcements, satellite imagery analysis of datacenter buildouts, and supply-chain reporting to surface the capacity story most readers miss because it's spread across earnings reports, niche trade press, and developer-tool blog posts.
