    Musk says superintelligent compute capacity will be in long-term shortage, SpaceX plans to expand compute to 13 gigawatts by end of 2027

    At SpaceX's Q3 2026 earnings call, Musk said superintelligent compute capacity will face a long-term shortage, with power, cooling and infrastructure constraining supply more than chips. SpaceX's superintelligence business revenue for the quarter was $7.56 billion, surpassing the connectivity business led by Starlink; compute scale rose from 0.6 gigawatts a year earlier to 1.7 gigawatts, with plans to reach 13 gigawatts by the end of 2027. Musk said paid weekly active users of Grok Bot reached 800,000 in early October, and the company also plans to build its own gas turbine blade casting and chip factories to ease bottlenecks.

    A PHP high-severity vulnerability triggers global panic; volunteer Ondřej Surý single-handedly completes the critical packaging work

    Two PHP remote code execution vulnerabilities with a CVSS score of 9.2 were disclosed; information leaked before the patch was released, and Cloudflare observed hundreds of thousands of attack attempts within two hours. Germany, Finland, France, Belgium and other countries took protective measures for public sector websites, and the U.S. CISA, the EU CERT-EU, and the UK NCSC issued urgent warnings in succession. Czech volunteer Ondřej Surý, through volunteer work, packaged the PHP source code into installable software packages, enabling millions of servers to be patched quickly; the donations he received in these 24 hours were roughly equal to those of the past year.

    The top three AI 3D players raised over 8 billion yuan in half a year; Meshy's ARR exceeds $100 million

    The three AI 3D companies VAST, Meshy, and Yingmou raised a combined total of over 8 billion yuan in half a year, among which VAST raised over 5 billion yuan in half a year with a valuation of $2 billion, and Meshy completed a $400 million funding round with a post-money valuation of $1.5 billion. As of the end of September, Meshy's ARR exceeded $100 million, and the ARR of VAST and Yingmou also reached tens of millions of dollars. The three have different roadmaps: VAST wants to build a 3D version of Douyin and open-sourced the real-time renderer EdenLive, Meshy adopts subscriptions plus pay-per-use, and Yingmou targets professional users and enterprise production workflows.

    Indian workers wear cameras to film work processes, providing data for physical AI training

    BBC reports that hundreds to thousands of workers in India are paid to wear head-mounted cameras to record work processes such as haircuts, sewing, and housework; the videos are collected by local companies and sold to tech companies and research institutions for training physical AI that can control real-world robots. Rashdan Technologies pays 5 to 10 dollars for 8 to 10 hours of recording, and Humyn Labs has 96,000 data collectors in Latin America and Southeast Asia. TISS professor Bino Paul believes it is too early to judge whether robots will replace these workers, but calls on the government to regulate AI.

    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.
