Deep & Emerging TechHigh-frequency trading firms such as Jane Street are investing in AI and chip startups and neoclouds, and building data centers to gain an edge in the AI era
When HFT shops start building their own AI data centers and backing chip and neocloud vendors, they're treating compute and latency as proprietary alpha, not a utility. If you're a large buyer of AI infra, expect more competition for power, land, and specialized silicon—and start mapping where you need dedicated capacity versus commodity cloud.
Deep & Emerging TechScientists overcome a hidden obstacle to more powerful quantum computers
Hitting ~99.9% accuracy while running five silicon qubits simultaneously is a concrete step toward scalable, CMOS-compatible quantum hardware. For operators with long R&D horizons—chemicals, materials, logistics—this is a cue to refresh your quantum thesis and identify one or two workflows where early access could matter in a 5–10 year window.
