Governors and legislatures in U.S. states that previously welcomed data centers are suddenly moving to rip away sales tax breaks that could raise the price of every gigawatt of AI computing by several billion dollars, potentially adding 7% or more to equipment costs.

In little-noticed moves that sharply accelerated this summer, four states rolled back or paused data center tax incentives, while officials in nine other states are considering repeal measures, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, an advocacy and research association for state lawmakers, and The Information’s analysis.

For the last several years, a startup accelerator called Infinita City has devoted its attention to establishing a thriving enclave for biotech companies in Prospera, a charter city on a small Honduran island. Last year, Tim Draper, a billionaire venture capitalist who backed Infinita, hosted a pitch competition on the island that offered a $1 million investment prize. Longevity influencer Bryan Johnson has visited too, and he got dosed with an experimental gene therapy.

While Niklas Anzinger, Infinita’s founder and CEO, said he is proud of the company’s origin story, there hasn’t been enough demand from drug companies to test their medicines on the island. “It will take a very long time before it becomes a credible medical hub,” he said.

Instead, Infinita is turning its attention somewhere new: Montana.

CyrusOne, a data center operator owned by private equity giants KKR and BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, is getting ready to interview and hire investment banks to advise on what could be one of the largest initial public offerings next year, according to people familiar with the discussions.

KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners, which later became a unit of BlackRock, took CyrusOne private in early 2022 for $15 billion.

A jittery stock market isn’t the best environment for new public listings. But one young startup with deep ties to the AI boom is marching ahead with its IPO plans, at least for now.

Nscale, a UK-based AI cloud provider heavily backed by Nvidia, has been meeting with prospective investors recently and scheduled an investor day to pitch analysts and investors next week in New York, according to people familiar with the matter. It’s working with Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan on the IPO, which could happen as soon as this fall, though Nscale could still choose to delay it.

This month, Apple will be unveiling its first foldable iPhone – rumored to be called iPhone Ultra. It’s going to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and 7.6-inch inner display. In July, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 – and it comes with those same screen sizes.

Whether or not you believe Samsung only made this phone to preempt the iPhone Ultra is a different story – but one way or another, seeing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 gives us a great early idea of what iPhone Ultra will feel like in the real world.
