Nvidia has lined up six of the largest capital allocators to underwrite AI factories. Buyers of compute now negotiate with a supplier that has a financial position in their buildout.

Apollo's read on 321 occupations finds slower wage growth in AI-exposed work and no employment effect, with the whole gradient landing outside the highest-paid quartile.

Fortune argues that as frontier models converge, advantage goes to whoever funds and runs infrastructure most cheaply. That makes capital structure the variable investors have to underwrite.

Six of the largest private capital firms want to finance GPUs as long-lived assets. Nvidia's own Blackwell pitch said you couldn't give last-generation Hoppers away.

Latham & Watkins asked, and the SEC's structured finance staff agreed. The answer landed a fortnight before Nvidia's $500bn financing announcement, and it carries no legal force.
