NVIDIA Flags $1.3 Trillion Hyperscaler Capex as SoftBank Seeks Another $10B Loan for OpenAI Stake

On NVIDIA's latest call, the company pointed to a $1.3 trillion figure for hyperscaler capital expenditure, according to @PatrickMoorhead — a number that captures the sheer scale of infrastructure now underpinning the industry. That same thread flagged that SoftBank is seeking another $10 billion loan to fund its OpenAI stake, a reminder that even the largest players are turning to debt to keep pace.
