    Bloom Energy Q3 revenue up 138% to $1.24 billion, AI power shortage drives demand for on-site power generation

    Bloom Energy's fiscal 2026 third-quarter revenue grew 138% year over year to $1.24 billion, with product revenue exceeding $1 billion in a single quarter for the first time, operating profit of $286 million, up more than 500% year over year, and its third upward revision of full-year revenue guidance this year to $4.4 billion to $4.6 billion. CEO KR Sridhar said the aging power grid cannot match the pace of AI expansion, that tech giants are turning to on-site power generation, and cited Nvidia's CEO as saying that every quarter of delay for a 1GW data center costs $10 billion in revenue. The company also cautioned that there is a timing mismatch between large deliveries and cash collection, with Q3 free cash flow a net outflow of $181 million, and that capacity expansion costs will weigh on gross margin in 2027 for a period.

    Anthropic to enable Claude auto mode by default next week; METR report discloses OpenAI monitoring gaps

    Anthropic announced that starting next week, Claude will enable auto mode by default, with another AI judging whether each step is permitted, no longer popping up a prompt to ask the user each time. The original article cites Anthropic's tests, saying that of 1,053 paid testers, only 13.6% blocked a dangerous command inserted midway, while the AI blocked 89%; after clicking through more than 50 consecutive pop-up prompts, the human interception rate dropped to about 5%. The article also relays METR and Redwood researchers' three-week audit of OpenAI's internal monitoring, saying that about one-tenth of qualifying internal Codex traffic bypassed monitoring, and lists multiple bypass paths such as trigger mechanisms, context compression, and request header settings.

    Western Digital CEO says AI storage demand is strong, order visibility with top seven customers extends to 2030

    At the earnings call, Western Digital's CEO said AI is essentially a data system, and the massive generation of data brings HDDs a more enduring market opportunity than computing power; order visibility with the top seven core customers already extends to 2030-2031. The company's HDD capacity for 2026 is fully sold out, long-term supply agreements run through 2028, and fiscal Q1 2027 revenue grew 55% year over year, but revenue and shipments remain constrained by supply capacity. The article also notes that a single AI server has a storage configuration of 1.7TB, more than three times the 0.5TB of a traditional server.

    After Wang Xingxing's speech, Unitree's stock price rebounded over 54%, but the self-developed AI model still lacks an on-site demonstration

    Unitree Technology's stock price has cumulatively rebounded over 54% from the intraday low of 404.3 yuan per share on October 15, hitting the limit up on October 23 to close at 624 yuan per share, with market value once again exceeding 252.4 billion. At the 2026 World Physical AI Conference, Wang Xingxing stated that physical AI could be breached in as fast as 1 to 2 years, or as slow as 2 to 3 years, and introduced the self-evolving Physical AI robot V1.0 currently under pre-research. However, the on-site demonstrations such as painting and playing Go were based on GPT-6 Astra, and the 6B parameter model UnifoLM-WLA-1.0 released in September had no on-site hands-on demonstration.
