Rumble buys massive computing power to become an AI infrastructure company

Rumble, a video platform, bought a German data-center company for $650 million. It now owns 22,000 specialized computer chips and power infrastructure spread across nine locations. Rumble is betting it can use this capacity for its own video work—like recommending videos and filtering content—or sell it to other companies. Success depends on whether the investment pays off over the next year or so.
