AI compute capacity expands in Asia and the US: the week in AI & Data
GPU and AI data center capacity moves in Singapore and Michigan, a $420 million ad-tech deal, and several non-binding MOUs marked the week.
Compute capacity was the clearest common thread. Equinix opened SG6, its sixth Singapore data center, with 8 MW in a first phase and up to 20 MW planned. Ryde Group signed a non-binding MOU with Dimension AI, also based in Singapore, to explore a GPU-as-a-Service platform. Hyperscale Data said it is targeting December 2026 to energize the first 10 megawatts at its Michigan AI data center.
Several announcements were early-stage or conditional. Ryde and DataMEDS AI both signed non-binding MOUs, and Affle's agreement to buy Perion awaits regulatory and shareholder approval. Elsewhere, Clarivate reported results after selling its Life Sciences & Healthcare segment, Research Solutions connected its research tools to Microsoft Copilot, and Eva Live launched an automated crypto trading platform.
