Apollo Global Management invests in AI hardware startups, plans future lending

Apollo Global Management is investing in AI and hardware startups (including chip designer SiFive and AI-powered factory developer H100-like vendors) and plans to provide infrastructure financing to portfolio companies as they scale.
