Oracle Expands IoT Capabilities with Vodafone to Boost Global Connectivity

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) announced it will make its open-source Llama artificial intelligence models available to U.S. government agencies working on national security and defense applications, marking a significant expansion of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41734318/mark-zuckerbergs-nuclear-powered-ai-ambitions-at-meta-stung-by-rare-bees">technology&#8217;s authorized use cases</a>.
The social media giant is partnering with major government contractors and technology firms including Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Web Services, Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), and Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) to implement these AI models across various defense initiatives.
&#8220;As an American company, and one that owes its success in no small part to the entrepreneurial spirit and democratic values the United States upholds, Meta wants to play its part to support the safety, security and economic prosperity of America – and of its closest allies too,&#8221; said Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta.
Several contractors have already begun implementing Llama in their operations:
<ul>
<li>Oracle is using the technology to improve aircraft maintenance by helping technicians diagnose problems more quickly</li>
<li>Scale AI is fine-tuning the model for national security missions and identifying potential vulnerabilities</li>
<li>Lockheed Martin has integrated Llama into its AI Factory for code generation and data analysis</li>
<li>Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure are hosting the models on secure cloud platforms for sensitive government data</li>
</ul>

Why It Matters: Meta emphasized that making Llama available for defense applications aligns with U.S. interests in the global AI race, particularly as nations like China invest heavily in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/11/41718416/exclusive-top-20-most-searched-tickers-on-benzinga-pro-in-october-2024-where-do-tesla-nvidia-apple-d">developing their own open-source models</a>.
The company noted that large language models can support various aspects of national security, including streamlining logistics, tracking terrorist financing, and strengthening cyber defenses.
Beyond military applications, Meta highlighted broader public sector benefits, with Deloitte implementing Llama-based solutions for government agencies and nonprofits to improve public service delivery in areas such as education and energy.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Crusoe Energy, a data center startup, has secured a $500 million equity investment led by Peter Thiel&#8216;s Founders Fund to expand its artificial intelligence infrastructure.
What Happened: The investment round values Crusoe at approximately $3 billion, more than double its valuation two years ago, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/dbda689a-d3a7-4441-8dec-93042ca619a9">reported</a> the Financial Times on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the deal. 
The company, founded by Chase Lochmiller and Cully Cavness in 2018, is among the fast-growing &#8220;neocloud&#8221; industry that provides outsourced cloud computing for other tech companies to build AI.
The neocloud industry has been attracting significant financial backing from Silicon Valley and Wall Street investors to fund the acquisition of NVIDIA Corp&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) powerful AI chips. Crusoe&#8217;s investment round coincides with its recent $3.4 billion deal with Blue Owl Capital to finance the construction of a new data center in Texas, which will be leased to Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>).
Crusoe Energy supports sustainability by using waste natural gas from oilfields to power its data centers, helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions while fueling AI and cloud computing.
Crusoe Energy did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: Thiel, a prominent figure in the tech and investment world, has been actively involved in the cryptocurrency and AI sectors. His Founders Fund has made significant investments in these areas, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/37087400/peter-thiels-founders-fund-bets-big-on-bitcoin-and-ether-with-200m-investment-report">$200 million investment</a> in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) in 2023.
Thiel has also been vocal about his skepticism regarding Bitcoin&#8217;s future growth, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39569413/billionaire-peter-thiel-voices-skepticism-on-bitcoins-future-growth-im-not-sure-its-going-">expressing doubts about significant price growth</a> and expressing regret for not purchasing more of the cryptocurrency.
Despite this, his Founders Fund has continued to make bold moves in the crypto market, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/02/37087400/peter-thiels-founders-fund-bets-big-on-bitcoin-and-ether-with-200m-investment-report">signifying a renewed interest in token investments</a> among institutional investors.

AI-themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are witnessing a significant surge as asset managers capitalize on the growing enthusiasm surrounding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">artificial intelligence</a>. This year, over one-third of the two dozen AI-focused ETFs were launched, according to Morningstar.
What Happened: In the past week alone, three new ETFs have entered the AI sector, including one that was rebranded to specifically focus on artificial intelligence, Reuters reported on Monday. The total assets of AI ETFs have now reached $4.5 billion, approaching the $5.5 billion held by nuclear power-themed ETFs and surpassing the $1.37 billion in the cannabis sector.
Daniel Sotiroff, a senior analyst at Morningstar, remarked on the trend, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not surprised their ranks are multiplying.&#8221; 
He emphasized that the industry&#8217;s rapid pace attracts investors eager for quick returns, according to the report.

As per Benzinga Pro data, here are how some of the AI-based ETFs performed over the past year:
Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BOTZ#NASDAQ">BOTZ</a>): BOTZ, currently with net assets worth $2.51 billion and NAV of $31.59, climbed 40.39%. Its top AI-related holdings include Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and biotech firm Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>).
Global X Artificial Intelligence &amp; Technology ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIQ#NASDAQ">AIQ</a>): AIQ, which has $2.27 billion in net assets and $37.36 NAV, increased by 43.64%. Oracle Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) are some of its top AI-related holdings.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and Broadcom Inc.

Why It Matters: The surge in AI-themed ETFs is part of a broader trend driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence technologies. Recently, Nvidia briefly surpassed Apple to become the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41551461/nvidia-overtakes-apple-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-again">world&#8217;s most valuable company</a>, fueled by the demand for its AI supercomputing chips.

The IMF&#8217;s Global Financial Stability Report suggests that AI-driven trading could revolutionize markets, although its adoption remains limited. The report also cautions about the potential shift of investments to less regulated nonbank financial intermediaries, complicating market oversight.

Trading at $231.30, the stock sits above its 20-day ($228.59), 50-day ($214.45) and 200-day ($188.61) simple moving averages (SMAs)—driven by bullish momentum in the medium-to-long-term.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 65.75 suggests IBM is nearing overbought territory, hinting that investors might want to tread carefully. The stock&#8217;s Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) at 5.33 also signals positive momentum, reflecting slight buying pressure. 
Meanwhile, with the eight-day SMA at $232.78, there's a minor bearish signal in the short term, but overall, IBM looks ready to extend its climb.
The Granite 3.0 launch, coupled with a strong cloud business outlook, puts IBM in the spotlight ahead of earnings. Whether the stock can maintain its stellar run remains to be seen, but the technicals—and the AI—are certainly in its favor.
