Seagate Technology Holdings plc has announced its plans to enhance hard drive capacities significantly to cater to the burgeoning needs of artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Recently, the company introduced 36 terabyte (TB) hard drives, utilizing its Mozaic 3+ technology platform based on heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), as reported on Seagate's investor site. Seagate is also charting an ambitious roadmap to push drive capacities further: aiming for 50 TB by 2026 and reaching 100 TB by 2030. Additionally, plans are underway to develop 120 TB hard drives thereafter, according to Anandtech. The HAMR technology at the core of these advancements allows for higher data densities, with the Mozaic 3+ platform currently achieving over 3 TB per platter, and expansions to 4–5 TB per platter expected soon. In response to these developments, leading cloud service providers are adopting Seagate’s high-capacity drives to handle AI workloads effectively. Notably, Dell Technologies intends to integrate Seagate’s 32 TB drives into their high-density storage systems. A survey highlighted on Seagate's investor page indicates that 61% of organizations anticipate their cloud storage needs to double by more than 100% by 2028, propelling further demand for such high-capacity solutions.

Amazon's Zoox to Accelerate Robotaxi Production in U.S.

Amazon's Zoox to Accelerate Robotaxi Production in U.S.

Amazon's Zoox is gearing up to ramp up its robotaxi production with a significant expansion planned for 2026. This move is part of Zoox's broader strategy to launch its self-driving fleet commercially across the United States. A new manufacturing facility is slated to open in California's Bay Area, augmenting its existing Fremont operations. This expansion aims to enable the production of hundreds, and eventually thousands, of the company's unique robotaxis, which are being rolled out without steering wheels, as reported by the Financial Times. Currently, Zoox is operating about two dozen of these custom-designed vehicles in six American cities, with public ride services expected to debut later this year in Las Vegas, followed by a launch in San Francisco. This operational phase aligns with the U.S. government's efforts to relax regulations surrounding autonomous vehicles, facilitating quicker deployment on public roads. Zoox's strategic timing comes in light of mounting competition from companies like BYD, Waymo, and Tesla. Tesla is prepping for mass production of self-driving taxis next year, joining Waymo, which already offers a full public service. Since Amazon acquired Zoox for $1.3 billion in 2020, the company has expanded to around 2,500 employees and leased a sizable office space in Foster City, California. Despite facing a minor collision incident recently in Las Vegas, which prompted a temporary vehicle recall to update its software, Zoox has resumed testing, underscoring its commitment to maintaining safety and advancing its commercial ambitions.

36 minutes agoFORR

Forrester Research has revealed substantial progress in artificial intelligence, projecting a growth in global technology spending of 5.6% in 2025. This increase is expected to bring the total to $4.9 trillion, up from $4.7 trillion in 2024, driven by the swift adoption of software, IT services, generative AI, and cloud technologies. The AI software market, a significant contributor to this growth, is anticipated to double from $33 billion in 2021 to $64 billion by 2025, according to Forrester. This growth rate surpasses that of the broader software market, as investments in AI-enhanced software and applications expand. Despite these investments, Forrester notes a potential shift in how enterprises approach generative AI projects, with likely reductions in large-scale initiatives in favor of more focused efforts due to challenges in ROI. Forrester's insights highlight how quickly AI technologies are evolving and influencing tech spending globally. Meanwhile, Forrester Research Inc.'s stock price stands at $9.72, with minimal change from the previous day, showcasing its stabilizing position in the market amidst these technological advancements, as reported by The Hindu Business Line.

Skechers has agreed to a $9.4 billion acquisition deal with private equity firm 3G Capital, set to become the largest transaction in the sneaker industry. The deal will see 3G Capital purchase Skechers at $63 per share in cash, which marks a 28% premium over the company's previous stock price. The acquisition is expected to close by the third quarter of 2025.

Reuters reported that these tariffs have significantly impacted the business environment for Skechers, necessitating strategic shifts. 3G Capital, recognized for its cost-cutting strategies, aims to leverage Skechers' robust international sales and its strong consumer base. Skechers' financial position is solid, having reported record sales of $8.97 billion in 2024, a 12% increase from the previous year. The company's CEO and founder, Robert Greenberg, holds a significant voting share and supports the acquisition, which highlights the ongoing commitment to the brand's growth and stability.
