Anthropic PBC has decided against acquiring artificial intelligence startup Decart AI, people familiar with the matter said. Separately, Qualcomm Inc. said it signed up Amazon.com Inc. as a data center chip customer in a deal that will span "multiple generations" and gives Amazon the right to acquire as much as $4 billion in shares.-Derek Mogull, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Analyst, discusses his research: “AI Storage Model Shows 5x Spending Growth by 2030.” According to Bloomberg Intelligence: AI is set to expand storage spending almost 5x by 2030, with data-center revenue rising about 8x and inference driving roughly 85% of incremental data-center NAND flash bit growth. This marks a structural break from storage's mature, cyclical past: AI lifts bit growth into the mid-20s, raises value per bit and reinforces the storage hierarchy, most directly benefiting Seagate, Western Digital, SanDisk, Kioxia and Everpure.-Hema Parmer, Bloomberg Hedge Fund Reporter, discusses the Bloomberg Big Take story: “Milennium Nears $100 Billion in New Era for Giant Hedge Funds.” Millennium Management's assets have hit $97 billion, more than double what the firm oversaw six years ago, and is speeding toward $100 billion. The firm's founder, Izzy Englander, is ramping up an unusual model of seeding dozens of smaller would-be rivals to give his firm more capacity to take on investor cash, with $22 billion of new commitments set to close on Oct. 1.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
