    So far this year, global investment-grade and junk bond issuance has raised a total of $6.61 trillion, up 15% year-on-year, surpassing the 2025 record with two months still left in the year.

Amazon became the world's fourth-largest bond issuer and largest corporate borrower this year, with Alphabet close behind; five of the top ten U.S. corporate issuers are tech companies.

    34.5% of SpaceX's Q3 Revenue Came from Anthropic Compute Contract

    According to people familiar with the matter, Anthropic is SpaceX's single largest customer, contributing more than one-third of its revenue in the third quarter. SpaceX documents show that this customer accounts for about 34.5% of revenue, and the documents label it only as "Customer B." This revenue comes from Anthropic's use of compute at SpaceX's data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The contract is worth up to $120.5 billion and runs through 2029, but starting this December Anthropic will pay about $3.1 billion per month and may terminate the contract with 90 days' notice after January 2027 and March 2027.

    Ares CEO Says It Avoids AI Chip Financing Due to Business Complexity

    Ares Management CEO Michael Arougheti said the company is avoiding financing the high-performance processors that run advanced AI models, and is instead investing in the data centers that house those chips. He said due diligence on data center projects is simpler, relative returns are attractive, and it is impossible to conduct due diligence to assess the value decay and depreciation curves of GPU technology. The company estimates AI capital expenditure demand at about $5 trillion, of which about $2 trillion is for physical AI data centers and supporting infrastructure, and $3 trillion is for purchasing GPU chips.

    Meta updates its commercial terms to allow using user content to train AI; UK and EU users can object

    Meta updated its commercial terms this month to allow it to use content from associated domains, web pages, or URLs to develop, improve, research, train, and maintain Meta products, sparking discontent among artists and small business owners who rely on Instagram and Facebook. The effective date was postponed from October 30 to November 20, and Meta subsequently removed the word "train" from the list of permitted uses and limited the uses to "advertising and business products." UK and EU users can currently submit an objection form in the Instagram Privacy Center, and some users say they have received emails from Meta confirming that their objections were approved; these options do not appear in the United States and other places.

    Eisman Questions Anthropic Prospectus for Concealing Latest Quarterly Financial Data

    Steve Eisman, the real-life inspiration for "The Big Short," publicly questioned Anthropic's prospectus filed on October 26, which discloses financial data only through June, saying it "very deliberately" concealed the latest quarterly data. Citing Reuters data, he noted that Anthropic's quarterly revenue growth had slowed from 144% in the second quarter to 45% in the third quarter, and said the company's cost structure for generating revenue is also deteriorating. Anthropic has not yet responded to these allegations; it is seeking a valuation of about $2 trillion.

    Intel's Q4 guidance falls far short of expectations, shares drop over 20% after hours

    Intel expects Q4 revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, below the analysts' average estimate of $17 billion, and adjusted earnings per share of 25 cents, far below the expected 43 to 45 cents; the stock fell more than 22% at one point after hours. The company said the October explosion at its Kiryat Gat plant in Israel will reduce Q4 revenue by about $300 million and lower gross margin by about 200 basis points, and it expects the PC market weakness to last at least through the first half of 2027. Third-quarter revenue rose 21% year over year to $16.5 billion, while data center and AI business revenue rose 78% year over year to $7.3 billion.

    Nvidia Plans to Provide Credit Guarantee for Nscale's Over $5 Billion Data Center Construction Financing

    Nvidia is in talks with emerging AI cloud service provider Nscale to provide over $5 billion in credit guarantees for the debt financing of a 460-megawatt data center Nscale plans to build in West Virginia, USA; the agreement has not yet been signed.

The guarantee takes the form of a residual value guarantee and covers the data center facility itself rather than the lease or the chips. To date, Nvidia has provided approximately $170 billion in credit support and investment to customers including emerging cloud providers.

    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.

    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.
