Hardware is emerging as a key AI growth area. For big tech companies with the money and talent to do so, developing in-house chips helps reduce dependence on outside designers such as Nvidia and Intel while also allowing firms to tailor their hardware specifically to their own AI models, boosting performance and saving on energy costs.

Now, I’m fortunate to say I have a handful of credit cards along with an “excellent” credit score — one that will help me finance an upcoming house purchase.
