quick_read: The article reports that Amazon's free cash flow has turned negative as the company spends heavily on AI data centers and NVIDIA GB300 racks. A report cited in the text says Amazon received $5 billion in deliveries in August, with another delivery figure beginning with $3 billion cut off by truncation.
