AI data centers and agents lead the week in AI releases
AI data center buildouts, agentic AI products and an adtech acquisition led a week of mixed AI and data releases.
Infrastructure for AI workloads was one thread this week. Equinix says it opened SG6, its sixth Singapore data center, with 8 MW in its first phase, while Hyperscale Data says it is targeting December 2026 to energize the first 10 megawatts of its Michigan AI data center. AI agents were another: Cerillion added agentic AI features to its telecoms BSS/OSS Suite, and AMBR and HashKey Capital announced a partnership to explore AI agents in financial services.
The largest deal was Affle's agreement to acquire Perion Network for an implied equity value of about US$ 420 million. Several releases also came from companies straddling AI and digital assets, including Eva Live's AI crypto trading platform and Hyperscale Data's Bitcoin holdings. Survey data from OnDeck and Ocrolus put small business AI use at 61%.
