News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. Warner Brothers Discovery says a new $31 per share offer from Paramount Skydance is expected to lead to a better deal than its existing agreement with Netflix. And this is likely to kick off another potential bidding battle for Warner Brothers. Bloomberg's Chris Palmieri.
There is a clock that will start ticking at some point. If the Warner Brothers board determines that the Paramount offer is superior to Netflix, then Netflix has four days to respond. It won't be all over then because even then Paramount could come back and come with a counter bid. But there is some effort to put a timeline on this.
Warner Brothers is not withdrawing its recommendation that investors support the deal with Netflix. It just says this new offer meets the threshold for more talks. President Trump will reportedly call for a new form of personal and corporate tax cuts during tonight's State of the Union address.

What are the implications of Paramount's new offer for Warner Brothers?
Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.
It's very large-scale deployment, so it's six gigawatts in phases, and it kind of replicates the structure that AMD has already done with OpenAI. They are kind of getting into the bigger leagues, closing the gap on NVIDIA.
