The Syndicate Room EP44 — The AI Infrastructure Superfund: Samsung, Google, Optimus & the SMR Push
Samsung committed a combined B to Helix Digital Infrastructure — a KKR-formed, Nvidia-backed AI-infrastructure company spanning hyperscale data centers, baseload + flexible power, transmission and fiber — on top of more than 0B already pledged at its June launch. We break down why the whole AI stack (compute, power, connectivity) is being financed together, alongside Google raising 2026 AI capex to 05B and posting its first negative free-cash-flow quarter, Tesla ramping Optimus ~10x, and the US–Japan–Korea SMR implementation plan targeting 50B+ in reactor investment.
