A viral AI extinction claim, a federal advisory naming six Chinese AI labs for industrial-scale distillation, and a $60 billion Qualcomm-AWS silicon pact define a week when enterprise AI risk and opportunity collided head-on. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman weigh in on what's signal and what's noise across AI safety, chip supply deals, and a market rally still betting big on compute.

A Six Five study found an eight-to-one cost gap between running an AI agent through a leading frontier model and running it on modest on-prem hardware. Paul Turner, Chief Product Officer of the VMware Cloud Foundation Division at Broadcom, joins Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead at VMware Explore 2026 to explain how VMware's AI Factory turns GPU provisioning, model management, and security into a repeatable path from infrastructure to production AI.

What infrastructure model makes the most sense when AI workloads move from experimentation into production?

In this analyst recap of VMware Explore 2026, Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman examine this central question facing enterprise technology leaders and how Broadcom and VMware are positioning private cloud as a critical foundation for bringing enterprise AI into production.

Bob Venero, CEO of Future Tech, joins Patrick Moorhead to discuss how next-generation infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and AI are transforming enterprise IT—and where Future Tech fits into the future of intelligent infrastructure.
