CoreWeave & NVIDIA Strike $6.3 Billion Cloud Deal | Tech Field Day News Rundown: September 17, 2025

At NetApp INSIGHT 2025, the company announced several major innovations, including the new AI Data Engine, which pre-processes ONTAP data for use with LLMs and AI agents. This platform features advanced metadata management, data synchronization, data governance, and data curation, along with a built-in vector database to streamline AI workloads. NetApp also introduced AFX, a new architecture that allows independent scaling of storage and compute, built around the AFX 1K storage controller, optional DX50 data compute node, and NX224 NVMe enclosure, with support for a wide range of storage protocols.

Security researchers have figured out how to break enclaves. Sort of. In papers published this week, two independent groups have revealed their latest exploits, Battering RAM and Wiretap. They both work by attacking memory where encrypted data is stored. Both Intel SGX and AMD SEV-SNP use deterministic encryption to store data in RAM for performance reasons. These attacks can replay the data in plain text form. The catch? You need to have a hardware device, called an interposer, between the CPU and the RAM banks. You also need to watch the RAM in a very specific spot to collect the data. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke.

Microsoft stopped a phishing attack that used AI-generated code to hide its malicious payload and trick victims. Hackers sent fake file-sharing emails from a compromised account, with an SVG file disguised as a PDF that contained hidden JavaScript. Microsoft’s Security Copilot flagged the code as AI-made because it was overly complex and unnatural, while Defender for Office 365 blocked the campaign by spotting suspicious behavior and infrastructure signals. Researchers noted that while AI makes attacks look more convincing, it also creates telltale signs that defenders can detect. The case shows how both attackers and defenders are using AI, making it crucial to prepare for more AI-driven threats.

NVIDIA is doubling down on AI dominance with massive investments across cloud, chips, and infrastructure. It struck a $6.3B deal with CoreWeave to secure long-term GPU demand, is investing $5B in Intel to co-develop custom CPUs and PC chips that pair Intel processors with NVIDIA GPUs, and is committing up to $100B with OpenAI to build data centers requiring 10 gigawatts of power. These moves lock in demand, expand NVIDIA’s role across computing ecosystems, and cement its leadership in the race to scale global AI infrastructure.

CoreWeave, a cloud provider backed by NVIDIA, secured a $6.3 billion order for AI computing capacity, with NVIDIA agreeing to buy any unused supply through 2032. The deal highlights CoreWeave’s reliance on NVIDIA, its sole GPU supplier and investor, while boosting its role in powering AI workloads. Despite strong growth—$1.21 billion in Q2 revenue, up 207% year-over-year—the company remains unprofitable, losing $290.5 million. Major contracts, including an $11.9 billion deal with OpenAI, have fueled demand and pushed CoreWeave’s market value above $58 billion.Time Stamps: 0:00 - Cold Open0:25 - Welcome to the Tech Field Day News Rundown1:20 - Tarboro Data Center Rebuff Tests North Carolina’s Development Future5:17 - Broadcom and OpenAI Team Up for AI Chips8:53 - OpenAI and Microsoft Restructure Deal12:20 - Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters is shutting down14:59 - Google Sued by Rolling Stone Owner for AI Summaries18:26 - Anthropic Report Reveals Misuse of Claude in Cyberattacks21:31 - CoreWeave and NVIDIA Strike $6.3 Billion Cloud Deal24:44 - Microsoft Partners with Nebius in AI Cloud Deal29:16 - The Weeks Ahead31:16 - Thanks for Watching the Tech Field Day News RundownFollow our hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Hollingsworth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alastair Cooke⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stephen Foskett⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

A U.S. judge ruled Google does not have to sell its Chrome browser in an antitrust case. Instead, Google must end some exclusive deals and share parts of its search data with rivals. The decision kept Google’s core business intact and boosted Alphabet’s stock. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and guest host Ned Bellavance.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Zelle’s parent company, Early Warning Services, accusing it of failing to protect customers from widespread fraud that cost victims over a billion dollars between 2017 and 2023. The suit claims EWS ignored known vulnerabilities and failed to enforce anti-fraud rules on its partner banks. Experts say the case raises major questions about the responsibilities of real-time payment platforms, highlighting the need for stronger security, identity verification, and consumer education. While a victory for New York could result in fines and mandated reforms, it remains uncertain whether consumers will see meaningful change or restitution.

Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle’s long-time Chief Security Officer, is leaving after nearly 40 years with the company. Known for both her leadership and controversial stances on security issues, her departure comes amid layoffs and a shift at Oracle toward AI-focused strategies. While not directly linked to recent security incidents, her exit reflects a generational change as the company brings in younger executives to tackle new cybersecurity and AI challenges.Time Stamps: 0:00 - Cold Open0:27 - Welcome to the Tech Field Day News Rundown1:13 - Broadcom Expands VCF for AMD GPUs and AI5:27 - McDonald’s Hiring Bot Served Up Personal Data to Hackers9:20 - VAST Data Unveils SyncEngine to Streamline AI Data Pipelines12:33 - Nir Zuk, Founder of Palo Alto Networks, Retires15:40 - Google and Meta $10 Billion Cloud Deal18:34 - HPE Expands Agentic AI Capabilities for Juniper Mist23:58 - Oracle CSO Mary Ann Davidson Retires Amid AI-Focused Shift32:37 - The Weeks Ahead 34:48 - Thanks for Watching the Tech Field Day News RundownFollow our hosts ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tom Hollingsworth⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alastair Cooke⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stephen Foskett⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Microsoft is making GitHub part of its CoreAI team after GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke announced he’s leaving to start a new company. Dohmke will stay until the end of 2025 to help with the transition. Instead of hiring a new CEO, GitHub’s leaders will now report directly to Microsoft’s AI group, led by Jay Parikh. This move shows Microsoft’s plan to connect GitHub more closely with its AI tools and developer platform as it pushes forward in AI development.
