Meta Signs 20-Year Nuclear Power Deal to Support its AI Power Demands

Meta Platforms’ new 20-year deal to buy 1.1 gigawatts of nuclear power from Illinois for its AI data centers is seen as a positive signal for Bitcoin miners, particularly those diversifying into AI. This long-term commitment to energy infrastructure by a major tech company is beneficial, as several publicly traded Bitcoin mining firms like Marathon Digital (MARA), Riot Platforms (RIOT), and Core Scientific (CORZ) saw their stocks gain 7-8% on the news. Additionally, AI infrastructure provider CoreWeave (CRWV), which has ties to the mining sector, hit a new record high.

Endless Announces Stability AI Integration

Endless Web3 Genesis Cloud, a decentralized intelligent protocol bridging Web2 and Web3, has integrated Stability AI’s advanced image generation capabilities (specifically Stable Diffusion 3.5) into its infrastructure. This collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of decentralized AI, particularly in creative arts and finance. One initial application is a “Sketch-to-Image” workflow launching on the Luffa application, allowing users to easily transform simple drawings into high-quality images.
