AI News Roundup Today (Dec. 18, 2025): OpenAI’s $750B Funding Talks, Google’s Gemini 3 Flash, Amazon’s AI Shakeup, and the Data Center Backlash

Thursday, December 18, 2025 — Today’s AI news cycle had one clear throughline: scale is getting expensive, and the industry is now wrestling with the consequences of building at “national infrastructure” size. OpenAI is reportedly exploring a funding round that would be almost without precedent; Google is pushing faster, cheaper models deeper into Search; Amazon is reorganizing its AI org around chips and frontier research; and the political fight over data centers is escalating from local zoning meetings to Capitol Hill.

Big Tech Stocks Today: Magnificent Seven Slide After AI Funding Jitters Hit the Nasdaq (Dec. 17, 2025)

Big Tech Stocks Today: Magnificent Seven Slide After AI Funding Jitters Hit the Nasdaq (Dec. 17, 2025)

As of 6:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, Big Tech stocks finished the U.S. session broadly lower, with the AI trade back in the crosshairs. The headline driver wasn’t a single earnings miss from a mega-cap—rather, it was a growing market debate over how the next wave of AI infrastructure gets financed, and whether the returns will justify the scale of spending now embedded in forecasts. Reuters+1 Stock market close: Tech leads the retreat U.S. stocks ended sharply lower, led by technology and AI-linked names.

AI Stocks Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Nvidia, Oracle, Broadcom Slide on AI Funding Jitters as Micron Surges After Hours

NEW YORK — As of 6:00 p.m. EST, the U.S. “AI trade” is ending Wednesday on a sharply split note: mega-cap AI infrastructure and chip leaders fell hard into the close, while memory maker Micron Technologies jumped in extended trading after delivering a bullish outlook tied directly to AI data-center demand. Reuters+1 The session’s message for investors was blunt: Wall Street is still willing to pay for visible AI demand, but it’s becoming less tolerant of financing uncertainty, “circular” capex stories, and rising competitive pressure around the software and silicon stack that powers generative AI.

US Stock Market Today (Dec. 17, 2025): S&P 500 and Nasdaq Sink as AI-Funding Jitters Hit Tech; Oil Rally Lifts Energy

Updated: December 17, 2025, 4:40 PM EST Wall Street ended sharply lower Wednesday as the market’s leadership trade—artificial intelligence—took another hit, dragging big tech, chips, and cloud-linked names down to their weakest levels in weeks. The selling pressure pushed the S&P 500 down 1.2% to 6,721.43, while the Nasdaq Composite slid 1.8% to 22,693.32. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 228 points (0.5%) to 47,885.97. Reuters+1 The headline theme was familiar, but the triggers kept piling up: a fresh funding setback tied to Oracle’s data-center buildout, new reporting on Alphabet’s effort to loosen Nvidia’s grip on AI software, and an ongoing debate over whether the

Big Tech Stocks Today (Dec. 17, 2025): Magnificent Seven Slide on AI Infrastructure Jitters as Amazon–OpenAI Talks and Fed Rate Outlook Take Center Stage

Big Tech stocks are setting the tone for U.S. markets on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, with the “Magnificent Seven” trade showing fresh signs of stress even as the sector’s long-term AI narrative keeps expanding. The day’s action is being driven by two competing forces: (1) renewed investor anxiety about the cost and financing of AI infrastructure after a key data-center funding setback tied to Oracle and OpenAI, and (2) a steady stream of “next-wave AI” headlines—from a reported Amazon–OpenAI mega-investment discussion to Alphabet’s push to make its AI chips a real alternative to Nvidia’s ecosystem.

AI Stocks Today (US Market): Amazon–OpenAI Talks, Oracle’s Data-Center Shock, and the New Threat to Nvidia’s CUDA Edge (Dec. 17, 2025)

AI stocks are back in the center of the U.S. stock market conversation on Wednesday, December 17, 2025—but with a very different tone than the “everything goes up” phase earlier in the year. Today’s trade is being shaped by three big forces: capital intensity (who can afford to build the compute), platform power (who controls the cloud + chips stack), and software lock-in (who owns the developer workflow). Investopedia+2Reuters+2 That mix is showing up in real time across the AI complex—from Amazon (AMZN) and Microsoft (MSFT) at the model layer, to Oracle (ORCL) in AI cloud buildout, and Nvidia (NVDA) and Alphabet (GOOGL/GOOG) in the fight over the infrastructure and tooling that powers AI development.

AI Stocks Today: Nvidia, Broadcom, Oracle and Big Tech React to AI “Bubble” Fears as Fresh U.S. Jobs Data Hits Markets (Dec. 16, 2025)

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025 (1:45 PM ET) — AI stocks are trading on two competing forces in Tuesday’s U.S. session: renewed skepticism about whether massive AI infrastructure spending can translate into profits fast enough, and a fresh set of macro signals that could shape the interest-rate path into 2026. After a delayed November jobs report surprised investors with a higher unemployment rate alongside stronger job creation, major U.S. indexes turned lower through midday trading.

Big Tech Stocks Today: Magnificent Seven Mixed After Jobs Data, With Tesla and Meta Outperforming (US Market, Dec. 16, 2025)

Big Tech stocks were mixed in early afternoon trading on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors balanced a fresh U.S. jobs report, shifting expectations for 2026 interest-rate cuts, and the ongoing debate over whether AI infrastructure spending is a durable growth engine—or the next valuation trap. Shortly before 1:45 p.m. ET (prices below reflect trades around 1:35–1:40 p.m. ET), the broader market was modestly lower while leadership inside Big Tech split into two camps: Tesla and Meta higher, Alphabet leading declines, and Nvidia hovering near flat-to-up as the AI narrative evolved again.

Zillow Group Stock (ZG) Drops After Google Tests Home Listings in Search: Analyst Targets, Forecasts and Key Risks (Dec. 16, 2025)

Zillow Group, Inc. shares are under pressure on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors react to a sudden, very modern fear: what happens if Google decides it wants to “be the front door” to home search, not just the street sign pointing to it? In the latest trading data available Tuesday, Zillow’s Class A shares (NASDAQ: ZG) were down roughly 8%, and the company’s Class C shares (NASDAQ: Z) were down a similar amount, extending a sharp selloff that began Monday after reports that Google is testing home listing features directly inside Search results.

Snowflake vs Alphabet: Google Cloud Backlog Hits $155B as Citi Keeps Buy on SNOW on December 16, 2025

Snowflake vs Alphabet: Google Cloud Backlog Hits $155B as Citi Keeps Buy on SNOW on December 16, 2025

As the AI boom turns data into the new battleground, investors are once again weighing a classic cloud-data dilemma: buy the focused pure-play (Snowflake) or back the diversified giant (Alphabet) with Google Cloud’s BigQuery. That debate intensified heading into December 16, 2025, after fresh analyst commentary compared Snowflake (SNOW) and Alphabet (GOOGL) side by side, and as Wall Street continued to digest Citigroup’s recent decision to keep a “Buy” on Snowflake even while trimming its price target.

Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) Stock: What to Know Before the U.S. Market Opens on Monday, December 15, 2025

Alphabet stock heads into the Monday, December 15, 2025 U.S. open with investors weighing a familiar (and increasingly urgent) mix: AI-driven upside in Search and Cloud, versus regulatory scrutiny in Europe and the U.S., plus the very real cost of building the computing and power backbone for the next era of AI. As of the most recent close (Friday, December 12, 2025), Alphabet Class A (GOOGL) ended at $309.29 after trading roughly $305.56–$314.85 on the day.

Updated Sunday, December 14, 2025 The “Magnificent Seven” — Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), Meta Platforms (META) and Tesla (TSLA) — heads into the new week with a familiar setup: AI optimism powering earnings narratives, policy and regulation driving headline risk, and interest-rate sensitivity back at the center of price action after the Federal Reserve’s latest decision. Last week (Dec. 8–14, 2025) delivered a concentrated mix of catalysts: the Fed cut rates again but signaled caution, Big Tech’s global AI infrastructure buildout accelerated (with major India commitments), and AI’s geopolitical fault lines showed up in real time via Nvidia’s China export decisions and backlash.
