ジェフリーズは、AIインフラ構築に巨額を投じるビッグテック企業にとって、分裂した政府が中間選挙の最良の結果になる可能性があるとの見方を示した。月曜のリポートで、ジェフリーズの調査チームは、分断された政府と、州レベルで細分化された規則ではなく国家としてのAI政策の見通しが、AIイノベーションの速いペースの継続を確実にし、規模の大きいプレーヤーに不釣り合いなほど恩恵をもたらすと記述した。同社が挙げるテックの最大の勝者には、どのAIモデルが勝ってもモデル非依存のプラットフォーム戦略で恩恵を受けるアマゾン、Gemini 4 Pro以降でAIモデル競争に追いつく時間をより多く得るアルファベット、企業のIT部門に広く浸透していることで企業からの信頼が最も高いマイクロソフト、データセンターの許認可や規制の障壁が緩和されれば極めて大きな上振れ余地を伴って4番目の企業向けクラウドの選択肢として台頭しつつあるオラクル、メガキャップのハイパースケーラーに代わる有力な選択肢として急速に認知されつつあるコアウィーブ、AIデータ基盤のトップ2ベンダーであるスノーフレーク、可観測性が最重要となる中でのデータドッグ、MuseとMeta Business Agentsによる消費者および中小企業の勢い回復を背景としたメタが含まれる。アナリストらは、戦後20回の中間選挙のうち18回で大統領の政党が下院議席を失ったと指摘し、トランプ氏の支持率が39%近く、無党派層が24%であることから、共和党の後退を予想している。2026年の中間選挙は11月3日に迫っており、有権者は下院全435議席と上院35議席を選ぶ。トルーイストのチーフストラテジスト、キース・ラーナー氏は、1946年以来の中間選挙の年はいずれもその後1年間の株価リターンがプラスで、最大の上昇は1954年選挙後の34%のリターン、平均の1年間の上昇率は14.4%だったと指摘した。

CoreWeaveがNVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72を採用、Cognitionが最初の顧客に
CoreWeaveはNVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72の提供開始を発表した。最初の本番顧客はCognitionで、NVIDIA Vera CPUの新たなサポートも加わる。トレーニング、強化学習、推論にCoreWeaveを利用するCognitionは、Vera Rubin NVL72がSWE-2推論ワークロードでGB200 NVL72を基準に最大4.8倍の総トークンスループットを、強化学習ワークロードで3.8倍の出力トークンスループットを実現したと報告した。CoreWeaveによると、Veraラックには128基のCPUと1万1264コアを搭載でき、理論上1万1000以上の同時分離環境をサポートする。またテストでは、x86 CPUと比べてエージェントサンドボックスの起動時間が3倍以上高速だった。同社はVeraをベアメタルで提供し、他のインフラと同じ運用モデルと経済性を採用する。アクセラレータ時間と並んでCPU集約型インフラの収益化を狙う。CoreWeaveはNVIDIAの技術ロードマップへの依存度が依然として高く、Microsoft AzureやNebius Group N.V.を含むハイパースケーラーや専門GPUクラウドとの競争に直面している。Nebius Group N.V.は四半期に4件の契約を締結し、平均額は10億ドル超、英国でのAIコンピュート拡張に約17億ポンドを計画しており、2027年の完全稼働時に65メガワットを供給する見込みだ。

Amazon Web Servicesは、ブロックチェーン管理サービス「Amazon Managed Blockchain(AMB)」のサポートを2027年9月29日に終了すると公式ドキュメントで告知した。新規顧客の受け付けは2026年10月29日に停止し、既存顧客は2027年9月29日まで通常どおり利用できるが、その後は機能にアクセスできなくなるため、早期の移行計画が求められる。AMBはブロックチェーンの構築・運用にかかる負担を軽減するサービスとして2019年4月30日に一般提供を開始し、日本では同年5月2日に提供が始まった。提供開始当時は食品大手Nestléや米通信大手AT&T、シンガポール取引所が利用企業として紹介され、日本でも同年6月にソニー・ミュージックエンタテインメントが音楽の権利情報を効率的に処理するシステム基盤として採用した。現在はビットコインやイーサリアムなどへの接続や取引履歴・残高の取得にも対応し、Web3アプリの開発を支援している。
マイクロソフトと米国の大手テック企業数社は、全米で進むAIデータセンター建設が環境、電力網、地域社会に与える影響に焦点を当てた新たな連合を結成した。加盟企業は、米国の主要な政治イベントを控え、持続可能性と雇用創出に関する共通のコミットメントを準備している。このグループは、電力使用、水消費、電力網の負荷を巡る地域からの反発に対処することを目的としており、こうした問題は大規模AI施設にとって現実の摩擦点となっている。マイクロソフトはこれを、クラウド事業とCopilot製品が依存するAIインフラの建設を続けるための「建設許可」を守るために活用している。時価総額3兆8000億ドルに達する米ソフトウェア大手のマイクロソフトは、新たな2027年度の報告体制の下で、AI主導のデータセンター費用とAzure利用状況をどのように開示するかという重要なチェックポイントに直面しており、最初のセグメント数値はAgents and Infraの下で公表される予定だ。この連合は、AIとクラウドへの巨額投資に伴う財務面および実行面の圧力を高める既存のリスクと軌を一にしており、許認可、電力網へのアクセス、環境規制に関する協調的な取り組みは、非常に大規模で長期にわたるインフラへの賭けへのエクスポージャーを排除することなく、そうした資本集約度を管理する助けになる可能性がある。
