Hi Seedradar Squad! Amazon-backed X-energy filed for a massive public offering to drop small modular nuclear reactors right next to data centers. Meanwhile, the lines between tech labs and the government are vanishing, with Anthropic directly briefing the Trump administration to integrate their enterprise models into national infrastructure.
While the AI core goes nuclear, capital is aggressively attacking physical and financial bottlenecks. Altman-backed Glydways pulled a huge round to build actual transit networks, and AI-native platforms like Slash Financial are hitting unicorn valuations at unprecedented speeds.
Amazon-backed nuclear startup X-energy has officially filed to raise up to $800 million in an initial public offering.
The capital will fund the deployment of advanced small modular reactors, providing dedicated power infrastructure directly to data centers and AI computing facilities.
An Anthropic co-founder confirmed that the company provided a direct briefing to the Trump administration on its new Mythos model.
The discussions focused on the capabilities of the enterprise model and its potential structural applications within federal government infrastructure.
