(via Nixxy AI (NASDAQ: NIXX) and Tachyon9 are addressing the growing U.S. AI infrastructure capacity shortfall)

Strategic Combination Designed to Accelerate Deployment of Power-Ready AI Data Centers Amid Industry-Wide Delays

Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIXX) today highlighted the growing opportunity created by the accelerating shortage of AI-ready data center infrastructure across North America and outlined how its recently announced strategic combination with Tachyon9 Corporation is designed to address one of the industry’s most significant bottlenecks.

Nixxy believes this growing infrastructure deficit reinforces the strategic rationale behind its recent announcement with Tachyon9, a developer focused on large-scale AI infrastructure, power generation, data center development, and GPU compute deployment.

Unlike many announced AI projects that remain dependent on third-party power providers, fragmented construction partners, or uncertain financing sources, the combined Nixxy-Tachyon9 platform is being designed to integrate power, infrastructure, financing, and compute deployment into a single execution framework.

Nixxy NASDAQ: NIXX announces $1B AI infrastructure buildout with Tachyon9 to create AI hyperscale infrastructure and energy platform

Nixxy, Inc. (NASDAQ: NIXX) today announced that it has entered into a transformative and binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Tachyon9 Corporation, a privately held energy and data infrastructure company, to execute a strategic NASDAQ transaction intended to create a fully operational, asset-backed public company focused on AI infrastructure, energy generation, next-generation data center development and GPU compute. With planned investment into the data center shell and power core to be delivered behind the meter, the first 120mw of compute power are planned to be operational by 2nd quarter of 2027. Total compute power will be built in 120mw increments over a period of 24 months.

Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the combined company is expected to operate under TACC while retaining its NASDAQ listing, positioning the platform to pursue large-scale AI infrastructure opportunities through abundant natural gas supply in North Dakota and other states connected to the Northern Midwest Gas supply pipelines.

This proposed initial transaction is expected to include:

Planned investment of approximately $1 billion into power and energy infrastructure supporting the 620 Acre Nakota Project, in Williston, North Dakota, designed to deliver up to 1 gigawatt (“GW”) of capacity over an anticipated 36-month buildout period, with the first 150 megawatts (“MW”) expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2027.

Planned Investment on phase 1 of $5 billion in GPU financing through a major offtake partner, with MoU already executed

More than $64 million in hard infrastructure and equipment assets

A planned $75 million private placement financing

The announcement represents the culmination of Nixxy’s strategic transformation over the past year. During that period, the Company executed a broad restructuring and repositioning initiative, including the separation of legacy operations, expansion of its communications infrastructure platform, and transition into an AI-enabled communications and AI data infrastructure company purpose-built for the emerging AI economy.

(via Lightmatter unveils Guide DR, the AI Industries first liquid-cooled laser NIC that quadruples rack density)

This isn’t just a product update—it’s a fundamental rethink of how light powers the data center. The future of AI infrastructure is cooler, faster, and more efficient.

Lightmatter officially unveiled Guide DR, the industry’s first liquid-cooled laser NIC that quadruples fiber bandwidth density. Designed for OCP compatibility, the new in-chassis light engine eliminates the faceplate bottleneck, powering up to 51.2 Tbps of optical bandwidth for AI scale-up.

The laser is to optical interconnect what batteries are to EVs. The industry’s “power wall” is real, and CPO lasers need a new scaling engine. Guide DR, is the industry’s first liquid-cooled laser NIC, offering 4X the rack density of conventional pluggable lasers.

To power the CPO bandwidth and rack density required to train and use frontier AI models, they’ve moved the external light source from the faceplate into the chassis, leveraging the existing liquid cooling infrastructure.

WATCH - The General Robotics Intelligence Grid for Physical AI in action. This is the future of training robots at scale. “Today, deploying a robot means stitching together numerous systems that were never designed to work together. To be truly useful, robots need a unified intelligence infrastructure." – Sai Vemprala, CTO General Robotics The robotics industry has entered a new era of hardware maturity. Humanoids, mobile manipulators, industrial arms, aerial drones, and autonomous platforms are shipping from an ever-expanding ecosystem of OEMs. Form factors are diversifying, foundation models are improving, and the pace of new entrants continues to accelerate. Despite this progress, the path from working prototype to operationally skilled robot remains one of the most significant challenges in the industry. The central impediment to that goal is not a lack of capable AI — it is fragmentation. Teams must integrate perception models, control policies, simulation environments, data pipelines, and fine-tuning infrastructure across toolchains that were never designed to work together. That effort often has to be repeated for every new robot, environment, or task.
