    Gemini 4 Carbon's Top Ranking Fails to Mask Disappointing Earnings: The Bill for Google's AI Gamble

    Alphabet's third-quarter revenue rose 25% year-over-year to $127.58 billion, while net profit fell 25% year-over-year to $26.17 billion, free cash flow was negative more than $9 billion, and the stock fell nearly 10% in after-hours trading. Capital expenditures of $51.4 billion were mostly directed toward AI infrastructure, and CFO Anat Ashkenazi maintained the full-year 2026 capital expenditure range of $195 billion to $205 billion unchanged. Hours before the earnings release, Google launched Gemini 4 Carbon, which topped the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index with a score of 59, but it has not yet opened a public API and is initially available only to some cybersecurity professionals.

    Amazon's stock fell about 7% after its Q3 earnings report, showing AI investment pressure alongside Alphabet

    Amazon's total Q3 revenue grew 12% year-over-year to $201.9 billion, below analyst expectations, and its stock fell about 7% after hours following the earnings release. AWS revenue grew 39% year-over-year to $46 billion, accelerating for the sixth consecutive quarter, but online retail growth slowed to 2% and advertising growth slowed to 11%; meanwhile, equipment and property expenditures exceeded $77 billion, and free cash flow over the past 12 months was negative $42.4 billion. This trend echoes Alphabet's single-day plunge of 13% after its search advertising revenue fell short of expectations, as market concerns grow that AI investment is suppressing cash flow and the pace of monetization.

    Baidu's AI Revenue Surpasses Advertising for the First Time, but Profit Halved: How Much Longer Can Baidu Hold On?

    In Q2 2026, Baidu's total revenue was 31.3 billion yuan, down 4% year-over-year, and net profit attributable to shareholders was 2.319 billion yuan, down 68.33% year-over-year; on the night of the earnings report, its US shares fell 12.73%. In the previous quarter, AI-related revenue accounted for more than 50% of total revenue for the first time, surpassing advertising. The article argues that Baidu is trading high-margin advertising revenue for low-margin AI cloud revenue, and that the real challenge is the identity transformation from selling ad slots to selling computing power or agent-based services.

    US investigates Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia CEO

    According to The New York Times, citing anonymous sources, an executive at Singapore-based AI cloud company Megaspeed, Alice Huang (Huang Le), who is accused of illegally selling Nvidia chips to China, may also be a Chinese spy. US intelligence agencies have surveilled her for about a year, focusing on whether her close relationship with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was used to obtain information about Nvidia's shipment plans to China. An Nvidia spokesperson denied this claim to TechCrunch, saying that Jensen Huang's interactions with the executive were no different from those with other regional customers, and that regional cloud customers only receive ordinary commercial information, not sensitive trade secrets or national security information. In 2025, The New York Times reported that the US Department of Commerce had opened an investigation into Megaspeed for helping Chinese companies circumvent AI chip export controls.

    AI demand drives chip business, Samsung operating profit surges 783%

    Samsung Electronics announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2026, with revenue of approximately 195.3 trillion won, up about 127% year-on-year, and operating profit of approximately 107.4 trillion won, up about 783% year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of record highs.

    Ed Zitron's Long-Form Article Questions Anthropic IPO: S-1 Conceals Q3 Data, $430 Billion Compute Commitment About to Take Effect

    In his long-form article, Ed Zitron analyzes Anthropic's S-1, arguing that the document only discloses Q2 2026 data, and that the quarter's $974 million in profit came from two months of SpaceX compute discounts, while Q3 revenue, cash balance, and payment schedule were not disclosed. He tallies Anthropic's non-cancelable compute commitments with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, SpaceX, Broadcom, and others at approximately $269.4 billion, with an additional $125 billion to $150 billion in TPU purchase commitments not included in the contract table, and notes that Q3 revenue grew 45% quarter-over-quarter to $16.8 billion, while compute spending grew 76.3% to $9.88 billion. The article also mentions that 5% to 7% of revenue comes from customers found to have violated rules by using its models to train their own models, as well as lock-up arrangements that allow insiders to sell down relatively quickly.

    Iluvatar CoreX Tianyao 300 Benchmarked Against H200: Training Throughput Reaches 1.33x That of H100

    Iluvatar CoreX held its first live demonstration of the Tianyao 300 at a media open day on October 28, claiming that in comparative tests on large language models such as GLM-5.3 as well as text-to-image and text-to-video scenarios, it outperformed the H200 overall. On the training side, in an 8-GPU full-system FP8-precision demonstration based on Qwen3-32B, the Tianyao 300 achieved per-GPU effective throughput 1.33 times that of the H100. The Tianyao 300 was unveiled at this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference in July, features 144GB of memory, and its IXL144 supernode integrates 144 GPUs with roughly 10.1TB of memory in a single standard rack, reducing the cost per million effective tokens by about 40% compared with mainstream international solutions.

    31-Year-Old Female Engineer Dies Suddenly After Reducing Medication on ChatGPT's Advice; Parents Sue OpenAI

    Wan Bowen, a 31-year-old Chinese woman in Seattle, died after allegedly stopping her anti-epileptic drug lamotrigine on her own according to a day-by-day medication-reduction plan given by ChatGPT. Her parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit in San Francisco Superior Court, accusing OpenAI and Altman of practicing medicine without a license and providing dangerous medical advice. The report states that in January 2026 she asked ChatGPT to reduce her dosage from 400 milligrams to 300 milligrams per day, and in her final conversation before death she was told to maintain 0 milligrams. She was found dead on February 14, and the medical examiner ruled the death as sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, with the drug concentration in her blood only one-fifth of the lower therapeutic limit. OpenAI responded that this is a heartbreaking incident, but that the version involved was an early version that has since been taken down.

He said SpaceX has an investment-grade credit rating and that Starlink and the launch business generate revenue independent of AI data centers, which is why it was able to obtain this funding; over the past few weeks, the debt market has been nearly closed to companies without independent revenue. Musk also predicted that there will be consolidation among more than 200 neoclouds, with only a few able to survive.
