    Nvidia to invest $3 billion in Meta, expanding Muse AI collaboration

    Nvidia will invest $3 billion in Meta's stock issuance plan, raising Meta's overall fundraising target from $95 billion to $97.5 billion. The two sides will optimize training and inference performance around Muse and related models; Meta will also expand deployment of Vera Rubin systems, Vera CPU, Spectrum-X Ethernet and BlueField-4, and evaluate adopting the OpenShell reference architecture and Sentry tools to securely deploy and monitor AI agents. Jensen Huang said AI agents represent a new computing paradigm, while Zuckerberg said Muse is at the core of Meta's "personal superintelligence" strategy.

    Anthropic Files S-1 in Sprint Toward IPO, Ten-Year Compute Bill and Revenue Growth Become Pricing Focus

    Anthropic filed its public S-1 with the SEC on October 26 local time, planning to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the underwriting and market valuation expectations reaching $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. The prospectus shows revenue of $16.286 billion in the first half of 2026, operating profit of $974 million in the second quarter at a margin of about 8%, but it has already signed compute commitments with terms of 7 to 10 years, most of which are non-cancelable, totaling about $850 billion on the broadest measure, roughly 24 times its revenue over the past 12 months. About 80% of the company's revenue comes from enterprises paying by usage for API and token calls, and most of its top customers have not signed long-term contracts.

    Cathedral used an AI Agent to breach Anthropic's internal systems in under 12 hours

    The Washington Post reported that AI security startup Cathedral, while participating in Anthropic's bug bounty program, used its self-developed AI Agent to exploit vulnerabilities in third-party commercial software and, in under 12 hours, gained access to Anthropic's sales, HR, and IT systems, including meeting minutes, employee salaries, job offers, and Slack chat logs discussing unreleased models. Anthropic acknowledged that the scope of access was limited, stating that Claude chat logs, model outputs, source code, and model weights were not touched, and said Cathedral exaggerated the impact and did not fully comply with the program's rules. All four of Cathedral's co-founders came from the DOGE project led by Musk; the company has raised $160 million at a valuation of $1.4 billion, with a16z and Sequoia Capital participating.

    Ofcom Proposes Classifying Body-Shaming and Depression Content as Priority Content for Child Protection

    In its first report on harmful content for children, the UK communications regulator Ofcom recommended that body-shaming and depression content be added to the priority content list under the Online Safety Act, requiring all regulated platforms to protect children in at-risk age groups. The report also acknowledged that nine months after its existing child protection guidelines took effect, the proportion of children exposed to harmful content had not changed significantly, with about 70% of children still saying they had seen harmful content; YouTube and TikTok also made no substantive commitments to overhauling their feeds. Ofcom did not assess the cost of implementing the new rules, nor did it set an accuracy standard for automated detection.

    London robotics startup Machenta has completed a $40 million seed round, co-led by Creandum and Union Square Ventures. The company says this is the largest seed round to date for a UK robotics company. Machenta was co-founded by Edward Johns, a professor of robot learning at Imperial College London, and his PhD student Vitalis Vosylius. Its AI model is trained entirely in simulation environments without using real-world data, and after watching a single task demonstration, the robot can perform tasks such as packaging, assembly, and tidying. The funds will be used to scale the technology and the team of about a dozen people located in King's Cross, London.

    Anthropic files S-1 to pursue a $2 trillion IPO, with $650 billion in compute commitments far exceeding its cash reserves

    Anthropic has publicly filed its S-1, aiming for the largest IPO in history at a valuation of up to $2 trillion. First-half revenue was $16.286 billion, with a net loss of $80.748 billion, of which $72.388 billion came from mark-to-market revaluation gains driven by rising valuations. Compute purchase commitments over the next decade exceed $650 billion, while cash and short-term investments total about $131.7 billion; some contracts are non-cancelable or require making up the difference if usage falls short. Nearly half of first-half revenue was sold through cloud provider channels such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, companies that are simultaneously investors, customers and competitors.

    OpenAI asks external experts to verify proofs generated by its AI in mathematics, computer science, and physics

    OpenAI says its internal models produced proofs in three fields—mathematics, computer science, and physics—including refuting the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) in computational complexity theory, proving that the local smoothing conjecture holds in all dimensions, and proving the existence of four-dimensional quantum field theory. The company has translated the mathematics and computer science proofs into Lean and asked external experts to serve as independent verification shepherds, with the physics portion handled by a team led by David Gross, winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics. OpenAI says it does not claim authorship of scientific discoveries and has committed to releasing the raw data and investing $5 million in the Simons Foundation to fund related workshops.

    Anthropic Races Toward IPO: Why Did the A-Share AI Supply Chain Rise First and Then Fall?

    Anthropic submitted its S-1 prospectus to the SEC on October 26 local time. Overnight, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 2.82%. On October 27, A-share AI-linked sectors such as computing power, optical communications, memory semiconductors, and PCBs opened actively but reversed to lead the declines by the close, with the STAR 50 falling 4.81%. The prospectus shows that in the first half of 2026, Anthropic's revenue was $16.286 billion, with a GAAP net loss of $80.7 billion, mainly due to $72.388 billion in fair value change losses on convertible notes, derivative liabilities, and SAFEs; on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, operating profit was positive at $1.618 billion. The company's compute spending as a share of revenue has fallen from 72% in the first quarter to 48% by the end of the second quarter.

    Anthropic Reaffirms in IPO Filing That Claude Will Never Show Ads

    In the cover letter of its IPO filing, Anthropic once again commits that ads will not appear in Claude chats, reasoning that once advertising enters a company's revenue targets, pressure to optimize engagement grows, and it wants Claude's only motivation to be giving useful answers. The letter places the ad ban in the second category of putting company values above profit, and cites as an example that the then-strongest Claude Mythos Preview was given additional safeguards due to advanced cyber capability risks, delaying its release as Claude Fable 5, sacrificing revenue and market share, while providing cyber defenders with about $100 million in free Claude credits. Anthropic had previously criticized ChatGPT for placing ads in chats, warning that such ads could be more manipulative than traditional advertising.
