Together AI is raising $1B at a $7.5B valuation, more than doubling its worth in just one year while revenue tripled to $1B annually. This massive funding round signals the neocloud market's rapid maturation, where specialized GPU providers are challenging hyperscalers with 66% lower costs. With Aramco's venture arm potentially investing alongside Nvidia, we're seeing a new phase of AI infrastructure consolidation where only well-capitalized players will survive the $267B AI cloud race. The capital intensity and rapid hardware obsolescence make 2026 a pivotal year for neocloud survivors.
