GOOGLE WORKS TO ERODE NVIDIA'S SOFTWARE ADVANTAGE WITH META'S HELP

Google and Meta are working together on a new initiative to make Google's Tensor Processing Units better at running PyTorch. The move is aimed at weakening Nvidia's longstanding dominance in the AI computing market. TorchTPU will remove a key barrier that has slowed the adoption of TPU chips. It will make existing infrastructure built using PyTorch software fully compatible with TPUs. Google is considering open-sourcing parts of the software to speed uptake.

THE SQUISHY NUMBER BEHIND THE RISE AND FALL OF ORACLE'S STOCK

Oracle is down 43% from its September high despite reporting $523 billion in "remaining performance obligations". About $300 billion of that comes from a five-year OpenAI contract, but analysts are skeptical that OpenAI, which only has ~$20B in annualized revenue, will be able to pay. Nvidia's stalled $100 billion OpenAI investment (announced in September but still unsigned) compounds the anxiety over the circular deals plaguing AI infrastructure.

YES, AGI CAN HAPPEN – A COMPUTATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Current models vastly underutilize hardware: DeepSeek-V3 and Llama-4 achieve only ~20% FLOP utilization during training, and inference runs at single-digit utilization because autoregressive models are bottlenecked on loading weights from memory, not compute. Models we see today are also lagging indicators, trained on last-gen hardware that's unoptimized for the massive size of modern clusters and the latest training methods.

WHEN AGENTS ATTACK: HOW AI COLLAPSES AND REBUILDS MARKETPLACE MOATS

AI agents, like those launched by OpenAI, threaten marketplace moats by taking over discovery, transactions, and supply workflows, thus collapsing traditional marketing funnels. Marketplaces must adapt by optimizing brand experiences, personalizing interactions, and integrating supply to maintain value. Founders should focus on high-frequency markets, fortify customer connections, and explore new monetization strategies like subscriptions or data licensing to stay competitive.

WHAT ACTUALLY IS CLAUDE CODE'S PLAN MODE?

Plan mode is a feature in Claude Code that pauses execution until users approve of a plan. A plan in Claude Code is a markdown file written into Claude's plans folder by Claude in plan mode. Users can review and edit the plan before Claude executes whatever task it needs to. The tool brings in more complexity into the user interface, taking away some of the magic. It replicates something that natural language can already do, making the user experience a little less natural.

JASSY TAPS 27-YEAR AMAZON VETERAN TO RUN AGI ORG, WHICH IS NOW DEFINITELY A THING THAT EXISTS

Peter DeSantis, SVP of Utility Computing at AWS, is taking two of his teams from AWS and putting them into a unit called 'AGI'. The unit will report directly to Andy Jassy, Amazon's Lead Product Market for GenAI and CEO. AI and AI-related compute is now an all-Amazon thing, not just an AWS thing. The unit is building things that are so important that Amazon is taking one of its most senior AWS leaders and putting him in charge of all of it.

INSIDE CHINA'S 'MANHATTAN PROJECT' TO RIVAL THE WEST IN AI CHIPS

Chinese scientists have built a working prototype of an EUV lithography machine, the $250 million tool that only ASML knows how to make and which the US has blocked from being sold to China since 2018. A team of former ASML engineers reverse-engineered the machines in a high-security Shenzhen lab, with recruits given fake IDs and signing bonuses up to $700,000. The prototype hasn't yet produced working chips, but sources expect it will by 2028-2030.
