Big Tech sent its energy teams to Houston. That tells you everything.

CERAWeek 2026 in Houston is headlined by cloud infrastructure executives from AWS, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Meta. The hyperscalers are collectively spending over $600 billion on data centers this year, and they sent their energy teams, not their AI researchers. The bottleneck is watts, not chips.

Publicis just pulled the plug on The Trade Desk. Three holding companies in a month is not a coincidence.

A FirmDecisions audit found fee violations. Dentsu, WPP, and now Publicis have all broken from the industry's dominant independent DSP within weeks. This is not a partner dispute — it's a structural reckoning over who controls programmatic's future.

Principal-Based Buying Is Turning Agency Transparency Into a Multibillion-Dollar Shell Game

Publishers Are Beta-Testing Sell-Side AI Agents That Negotiate Deals Autonomously

News Corp, The Weather Company, and Raptive are testing AI agents that sell publisher inventory to buy-side bots, built on Prebid's open-source framework. The pitch is compelling. The receipts are still coming in.
