Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the company's GTC Berlin event on Wednesday, introduced the OpenShell platform to address risks from autonomous AI agents that can access files, resources, networks and tools. He argued that such agents should be given minimal privileges and monitored constantly, saying that simply asking agents not to misuse access is not real security. According to Huang, OpenShell runs each agent in an isolated sandbox, with every outbound network request checked against a policy by a supervisor outside the sandbox, and keeps access keys outside the agent so they are added only when sending to an approved endpoint. The platform checks policy changes against permission limits through formal verification and combines Linux kernel isolation with runtime policy enforcement.

- Jensen Huang refutes AI job fears: 'It creates jobs'
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that public fears about AI eliminating jobs are misplaced, saying AI is creating jobs in software, healthcare and legal work. He points to booming energy, chip and infrastructure sectors, along with construction and manufacturing jobs tied to the reindustrialization of the United States and Europe, and calls the job-loss narrative 'precisely wrong.' Asked about differing views in the West and China, he notes strong pushback on AI in the West while China embraces it as useful. Huang stresses that safety is important, that Nvidia has invested heavily in safety systems, and that AI should be directed optimistically so society can benefit from it.
- Nvidia’s Huang highlights AI benefits in Berlin speech amid wider European tour
Speaking at an event in Berlin, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged Europe to adopt AI quickly, saying the region should focus on producing AI rather than just consuming it. He showcased Nvidia's full-stack AI factory, spanning hardware, software, libraries and models, and backed the idea of sovereign AI, where countries build and control their own systems. The remarks come during a wider European tour aimed at bolstering new markets for Nvidia's chips. Meanwhile, Vital Knowledge analysts flagged concerns that Nvidia acts as a 'central bank' for the sector through circular financing deals, which Huang rejects, while worries over debt-funded AI spending grew after hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation data raised bets on higher-for-longer Federal Reserve rates.
- Nvidia CEO urges German manufacturers to adopt AI
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking on October 19 with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at an investment conference in Berlin, urged Germany’s car and industrial machinery makers to quickly adopt AI to “re-engineer” the country’s struggling business model by using its manufacturing data and expertise. He argued that digital technology would not replace manufacturing, that AI would augment rather than replace capabilities, and that “the next wave of AI is physical,” spanning robotics, manufacturing, cars and heavy industry. Huang also urged Germany to take up AI technology while keeping its culture, values and knowledge at home, and said the mittelstand of small and medium-sized firms could benefit. The article notes that Germany’s growth is weighed down by high energy prices after losing cheap Russian gas, competition from China in autos, and excessive red tape, while Europe lags the US in building data centres.

- BlackBerry Jumps 6% as Record QNX Backlog Extends Rally, Now Up 149% YTD; Mobileye Drops 4%, Aptiv Dips
BlackBerry stock rose 6% to $9.45 in afternoon trading after the company said its QNX unit’s royalty backlog exceeded $1.2 billion, a record, and the stock is up 149% year to date. Management credited growing adoption of the QNX Software Development Platform and the first deal for Alloy Kore, which it called the largest design win in QNX’s history, along with wins in robotics, industrial automation and medical devices. Over the same period, Mobileye fell 4% to $7 and Aptiv slipped 0.6% to $44.79, while the Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF rose 0.1%. The article explains that QNX earns licensing royalties as vehicle programs enter production, whereas Mobileye and Aptiv carry heavier hardware content. The key question now is whether the backlog converts into royalty revenue on schedule, which depends on when automakers move programs into production.

- TeraWulf Jumps 8% as CEO Says Power Demand Remains ‘Extremely Strong’; Applied Digital Surges 9%, IREN Climbs 6%
TeraWulf shares rose 8% to $12.95 in afternoon trading after CEO Paul B. Prager wrote on X that demand for power “remains extremely strong,” that the company’s site is “energized” to meet it, and that shareholders would not be diluted. He said customers would likely need outside funding but TeraWulf would not take on that financial risk, and that the next data center building at Lake Mariner, leased to Fluidstack, is on track for delivery this quarter. Applied Digital rose 9% to $21.17 and IREN climbed 6% to $28.11, while the CoinShares Bitcoin Mining and Digital Power ETF gained 3% to $32.43 against a 0.6% rise in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article links the rally to power scarcity, including Elon Musk’s comment on the earnings call that the infrastructure to supply and cool electrical equipment is “somewhat of a limiting factor” for superintelligence. The next test for TeraWulf is whether the Lake Mariner building is delivered on schedule this quarter.
- Why Pegasystems Stock Dropped After Earnings
Pegasystems shares slipped 3.6% by 1:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday after the company reported Q3 results well below analyst forecasts. Analysts expected $0.49 per share on $421.8 million in sales, but Pegasystems earned $0.35 per share on a non-GAAP basis with sales below $393.4 million, and GAAP earnings were only $0.08 per share. Sales grew 3% year over year, GAAP profit fell 68%, and annual contract value rose 6%, which CEO Alan Trefler and CFO Ken Stillwell cited as grounds for confidence. The article argues free cash flow matters more to investors: the company generated $490 million last year and is running at about $438 million annualized, and Stillwell projects $700 million or more by 2028. The article calculates that this would imply near-term free cash flow growth north of 25%.
- Salesforce (CRM) vs Oracle (ORCL): Which Is a Better Stock to Buy?
Salesforce closed at $242.45 on October 19 and gained 30.2% over six months, versus 8.7% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, while Oracle closed at $129.59 after losing more than a quarter of its value over the same period. The article describes Salesforce’s customer records and workflows as hard to replace, with $14.4 billion of free cash flow in its last fiscal year, but notes slow growth, with revenue up 10.80% last quarter, and a deal announced October 20 to buy Braze for $5.66 billion. Its seat-based pricing could be a risk if AI agents take on work that staff used to do. Oracle grew revenue 29.60% last quarter at a 35.63% operating margin, supported by database support contracts, but its build-out of AI computing capacity carries debt equal to 251.72% of equity and levered free cash flow of negative $45.85 billion over the past year. The article adds that renting computing capacity earns a thinner margin than licensing software.
- Cold Water: Tesla and SpaceX Merger “Won’t Add Much Value” per Gary Black
Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund, argues that an all-stock Tesla–SpaceX deal at about $420 per Tesla share, roughly 10% above the current price, would add little value. Tesla trades at 191.6x forward earnings, well above its three-year average of 135.1x and above SpaceX's multiple, so the combined company would likely be valued at SpaceX's lower level. Tesla's normalized EPS fell from $3.12 in fiscal 2023 to $1.66 in fiscal 2025, with analysts expecting $2.17 in fiscal 2027. Musk said special committees at both companies are studying the idea and that he thinks it would be a good idea, but no terms have been agreed.
