Allbirds Announces Pivot From Eco-Friendly Shoes to AI Infrastructure
Allbirds (BIRD) has announced a complete pivot from its eco-friendly shoe business to artificial intelligence infrastructure, rebranding as NewBird AI. The company plans to sell its shoe assets and focus on GPU-as-a-service and AI solutions, backed by a $50 million convertible financing facility. The stock surged over 500% on the news, though skepticism remains due to the unusual move and intense competition in the AI sector.
