    ServiceNow stock plunges 27% after earnings, worst single-day performance since its IPO

    ServiceNow shares fell 27% on Thursday, marking the worst single-day performance on record, after the company's third-quarter results fell short of expectations, reigniting market fears about AI disruption. Revenue for the quarter rose more than 20% year over year to $4.11 billion, roughly in line with LSEG analysts' expectation of $4.10 billion, but adjusted earnings per share of $1.00 came in below the $1.02 expected. Although the company slightly raised its full-year 2026 subscription revenue forecast to $15.78 billion to $15.79 billion, with net new AI average contract value growing 65%, Citi analyst Tyler Radke noted that the investment in its newly formed forward-deployed engineering team has yet to deliver immediate returns, and the market will have to wait until next year to see an inflection point.

    Meesho says AI agents let one engineer do the work of a three-person team, with server costs rising to 2.3% of NMV

    Meesho said on its Q2 FY2026-27 earnings call that AI agents have become its default way of developing software: one engineer leading a group of agents can take on the work of what used to be a three-person team, and 65% of teams are driven by a single engineer. The company said its internal productivity score rose 171% from March to September 2026, code review approval time fell 41%, and the time for a model to enter online testing shrank from 17 days to 3 days. At the same time, AI has also pushed up costs: GPU capacity increased 150%, and server costs as a share of net merchandise value (NMV) rose from 1.9% to 2.3%. The company plans to migrate some workflows to cheaper or open-weight models. Meesho also made clear it will not add a platform fee at the shopping cart stage, even though it loses about 2.4 rupees per order.

    Mathematicians' group AGMAI demands OpenAI immediately publish Yang-Mills theory proof

    AGMAI, composed of nine mathematicians, called on OpenAI to immediately publish the natural-language and Lean versions of its claimed proofs of Yang-Mills theory, quantum chromodynamics, and the completeness of the Standard Model. OpenAI announced three mathematics, computer science, and physics results on October 26, stating that the Yang-Mills proof was completed on September 9 and its Lean formalization was completed on October 16, but the proof has only been seen by five physicists selected by OpenAI (led by 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate David Gross). AGMAI is affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, noted that the problem is one of the Millennium Prize Problems, and cited its October 25 statement opposing AI companies selecting the first reviewers themselves.

    Meta Unveils Open Innovation Achievements for AI Networking at 2026 OCP Global Summit

    At the 2026 OCP Global Summit, Meta announced networking innovations supporting its latest AI models and the gigawatt-scale Prometheus cluster, including its first liquid-cooled network rack IcePack and the 102.4T switch IceCube (128×800G, available with Broadcom Tomahawk 6C or NVIDIA Spectrum-6). For scale-out, the Flattened Planar Fabric connects each GPU to eight network planes, simplifying the Clos architecture from 3 tiers to 2; for scale-across, it introduced the petabit-class super backbone BAG connecting buildings, campuses, and regions. Meta also introduced Tahan, an Ethernet scale-up switch for MTIA 300 based on Broadcom Tomahawk5, and open-sourced the MetaRoCE software implementation, with the first user-space version libsoftmetaroce now available on GitHub.
