AIThe multiyear agreement covers cross-licensing in 5G, computing, AI and networking. Qualcomm will also buy some of Huawei's U.S. patents: ownership, not just permission to use them. Financial terms haven't been disclosed, and the transaction still needs regulatory approval.
AI…consumer AI apps by monthly revenue despite our low volume strategy. Thanks for the shout, Shaun! Have a ton of admiration for what you have done at Sequoia. Too many people know you for your firebrand tweets and too few know your excellent investments and that you have a PhD in physics from Caltech (and it’s fun to have your cofounder be a partner!)
AINico Caprez & Madison Huang now form a power couple inside Nvidia, are consiglieres to Jensen & entrusted w/ key initiatives, incl. turning GPUs into a financial asset...
AIThe co-founder and co-CEO of @tryramp will join @Mati on stage to talk about building one of fintech's fastest-growing companies and what happens when AI accelerates every function. @eglyman takes the stage November 11.
AIIndependent Chinese AI safety work has very little funding, and the Charity Law and Overseas NGO Law limit both domestic and foreign money flowing to nonprofits. Chinese charitable giving was about $21 billion in 2023 versus $557 billion in the US, with companies supplying 77 percent and most AI safety work sitting in state-backed institutions and universities. The author suggests options such as overseas compute, exchange programs, investment in safety companies, and a domestic regranting fund.
AIAfter NVIDIA acquired SchedMD, the SLURM scheduler's support for non-NVIDIA chips has allegedly worsened, and AMD built a competing scheduler called spur. The author says NVIDIA has not kept SLURM hardware neutral despite its earlier pledge, and questions whether Hugging Face will face the same fate after NVIDIA's acquisition of it.
AIElon Musk said SpaceXAI, the AI business unit of SpaceX, will be renamed SpaceXSI, and called SpaceX "a superintelligence company." The shift follows the Trump administration's September 22 directive to replace "artificial intelligence" with "Super Intelligence" in federal documents and agencies.
AITypeSafe AI launched Jev on September 15, a model that classifies inputs into preset outputs rather than generating text. Its founder says about 25% of Fortune Global 500 companies use it and daily token volume reached one trillion, with a reported funding round of up to $1 billion under discussion. Similar products have followed from OpenAI, Databricks, Cloudflare and Amazon.

AISemiAnalysis gives Vultr a ClusterMAX Participation Medal, ranking it below Bronze, after its cluster was delivered with basic errors. Vultr offers modern GB300 and MI355X hardware, including a claimed 50 MW AMD site in Ohio. The post says the same error pattern persisted almost a year after the ClusterMAX 2.0 review.
AI…We'll work to shifting the norms here. There are positive paths forward, even if things will be hard.
AIHuawei chairman Eric Xu said at Huawei Connect that Ascend now leads Nvidia in China, based on Huawei's own data, but did not give a market share. Bernstein forecasts about 50% for Huawei and 8% for Nvidia this year, and Xu says mainland process nodes, not chip design, are the bottleneck. DeepSeek reportedly plans to deploy at least 160,000 Ascend 950DT chips in Inner Mongolia.
AIAt "Stripe Tour Tokyo 2026," Sakana AI CEO David Ha @hardmaru took the stage. Following John Collison @collision, who spoke about Stripe's efforts to build payment infrastructure for the AI agent era, he shared Sakana AI's vision for contributing to Japan's AI ecosystem. Thank you, Stripe team!

AIAmazon and Georgia Tech launched a joint science hub to support research in robotics, industrial and systems engineering, aerospace technology, and foundational and emerging technologies. Georgia Tech researchers will also use Sprout, the robotics development platform from Fauna Robotics, to advance work in human-robot interaction and perception.
AII'm launching a Pro plan for readers, and one of its perks will be free or discounted access to awesome AI tools. I'm looking for a few great companies to partner with. You offer Pro subscribers a deal on your product; I put it in front of an engaged audience that actively looks for new AI tools. If that sounds interesting, comment or DM me!
AIAnthropic is preparing an IPO, with a leaked prospectus showing about $8 billion in operating loss on $4.6 billion revenue last year. The author says the company now targets trading in November, and that its revenue trajectory will signal whether the AI cycle has more runway. Separately, AMD agreed to acquire World Labs for $8.2 billion in an all-stock deal.
AINathan Lambert and Tom Zick have unveiled Trillium Labs, a new non-profit focused on the open science of frontier AI. The lab plans to build open post-training recipes and expand into open infrastructure to study topics such as RSI, reward hacking, and multi-agent systems. It is hiring, fundraising, and seeking compute, with support from Halcyon Futures and Schmidt Sciences.
AIElevenLabs has achieved FedRAMP 20x Class A certification, covering ElevenAgents and its Text to Speech and Speech to Text APIs when run in Zero Retention Mode with US data residency. The company says the published evidence package and FedRAMP Marketplace listing should shorten security reviews for public sector and regulated buyers. The certification extends ElevenLabs for Government, its dedicated offering for federal agencies.
AIGoogle AI announced that its Project Suncatcher prototype satellite, built with Planet, has launched into orbit on SpaceX's Transporter-18 rideshare mission. The initial mission will gather data on how Google TPUs handle the physical stress and extremes of spaceflight. The post says low Earth orbit systems could generate up to 8x more solar power than on Earth, and that future work may link multiple satellite constellations for scaled machine learning.
AIDozens of civil society organizations have built AI-powered tools on Cloudflare's developer services using more than $7.5 million in Cloudflare credits. Cloudflare says its serverless architecture, Workers AI and AI Gateway let non-technical teams build and scale applications without dedicated GPU infrastructure, while providing built-in security protections.
AIChina has built two major low Earth orbit satellite megaconstellations: Guowang, a state-oriented network run by China SatNet, and commercially oriented Qianfan. Guowang had launched only 15 satellites by early 2024, far short of its plan for 12,992, and its state monopoly ended in October 2023 when the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology opened the sector to non-state firms.
AIAnthropic launched Claude Frontier Academy with a $100 million commitment to train 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers by the end of 2027. The first cohorts include engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley and Novo Nordisk, running in San Francisco, New York and London.

AIWith AMD Instinct GPUs on @DigitalOcean, @Character_ai doubled production inference throughput and cut cost per token by 50%. More room to serve users. More advanced models. Same compute footprint. Read more at
AIOpenAI says more than 15,000 accounts attempted to extract its models' reasoning, and links a core group to people associated with Moonshot AI, maker of Kimi. Anthropic made a similar claim in February. OpenAI says no encryption was cracked and no database breached, and frames the charge as breaking its terms of service.
AIBenchmark has won a hot competition to lead a new funding round for early-stage chip startup Tendrils Compute, according to multiple people familiar with the matter. Sources say the company is already discussing a fast follow-up raise that could value it at more than $1 billion. The deal is part of a wave of VC investment in specialized chips, including inference-focused startups such as Etched, which doubled its valuation to $21 billion in August.
AIa16z is leading doxxnet's Series A, backing a parallel private network that lets people and their agents browse privately, transfer files directly, and connect devices into encrypted meshes without a central communications server. doxxnet, built by Barrett Lyon, uses its own global backbone, IP space, naming system, and certificate authority, and requires no email address or phone number to get started.
