- Gix Internet: Quantum X Labs Achieved Key Milestones with NVIDIA CUDA-Q Decoder and IBM Quantum Hardware
Gix Internet, which holds about 13% (2,818,585 shares) of Quantum X Labs (QXL), announced two technology milestones reported by QXL. QXL's quantum error-correction decoder, now running on NVIDIA CUDA-Q, made 12.7% fewer logical errors than the standard PyMatching decoder at code distance 3 and 12.1% fewer at distance 5 on Google's public data, and its streaming decoder showed error rates about 6% and 9% lower at those distances. In a separate test, QXL's QuantumQ Security unit reduced measurement bias on three IBM quantum processors from roughly 11%–15% to below 6%, and cut maximum cumulative error 15- to 21-fold using its LayerQake technology. Gix does not control QXL and has not independently verified the test results, so no benefit to its shareholders is assured.
- Quantum Computing Is Still Years Away. These 6 Stocks Show Who Is Closest to Real Revenue.
Quantum computing has mostly been funded by stock sales and existing cash flows rather than by customers. In the latest quarter, IonQ booked $80.1 million in revenue, D-Wave about $3 million and Rigetti $5.1 million, none of which covered their annual hardware spending. IBM does not report quantum revenue separately, funds its effort from tens of billions of dollars in free cash flow, and its CEO expects the unit to affect profit only in 2028 or 2029. IonQ's first-half 2026 revenue reached $144.7 million, but its operating cash burn nearly tripled to $254.8 million over six months, and its weighted average share count rose 47%. D-Wave and Rigetti have also leaned on at-the-market stock sales to raise cash, even though their revenue remains small.

- Apple's $1,999 iPhone Duo hits stores Friday amid limited supplies
Apple's first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, goes on sale Friday at a starting price of $1,999, but supply is tight. Pre-orders sold out almost immediately and delivery times now stretch into late January, while Apple Stores have only limited units for walk-in customers. Scalpers are reselling the phone on sites like eBay for more than $4,000. The iPhone generated $209.58 billion of Apple's $416.16 billion revenue in 2025, well ahead of Services at $109.15 billion.
- Could California's billionaire tax hit Mark Zuckerberg?
Hosts Julie Hyman, Pras Subramanian and Jake Conley discuss California's proposed one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax and its possible impact on Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. They note the tax has not passed, but say the uncertainty appears to be weighing on Meta shares. Based on the company's filings, the panel describes how Zuckerberg raised the possibility of leaving California and how the board moved to address it, which they see as evidence the board is not disinterested. They also acknowledge the argument that Zuckerberg's central role in Meta's AI efforts makes his departure a stability risk, while pointing out that Sergey Brin has left California.
- Spotify Jumps 10% as Premium Subscriber Growth Tops Forecasts; Sirius XM Stays Put
Spotify shares rose about 10% to $579.49 after the company reported Q3 2026 Premium subscribers of 306 million, 1 million above its guidance, with 6 million net additions and growth in every region. Management guided to 316 million subscribers and €820 million in operating income for Q4, and credited audiobooks with lifting acquisition and retention. Revenue rose 16.3% to $5.58 billion, but GAAP diluted EPS of $2.79 missed the $2.85 consensus due to higher share-based compensation charges, and operating expenses grew 26%. Sirius XM was roughly flat at $26.85, down 0.4%, reflecting different business models: Spotify relies mainly on streaming subscriptions, while Sirius XM sells radio subscriptions largely through vehicles.
- American Airlines Sinks 4% as Fuel Costs Push Outlook to Full-Year Loss; Delta and United Airlines Drop 3%
American Airlines fell about 4% to $11.72 after reporting record Q3 2026 revenue of $16.34 billion and an adjusted loss of $0.28 per share, smaller than the $0.33 expected. Its outlook worsened, with a full-year adjusted loss now forecast at $1 to $1.60 per share, replacing July guidance that ranged from a $0.65 loss to a $0.65 profit. The Q4 plan assumes jet fuel at $4.70 a gallon, after Q3 jet fuel costs rose 67.5% to $4.63 billion as the average price climbed to $3.85 from $2.37. Premium revenue grew 22.9% and managed corporate sales 27.6%, but the airline carries $29.6 billion in debt and finance leases against a $4.2 billion stockholders' equity deficit. Delta and United Airlines, exposed to the same fuel market, fell about 3%.
- DeepSeek Completes Nearly $15 Billion Funding Round, Largest Ever in China
Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is finalizing a funding round of about 100 billion yuan (US$14.98 billion) from existing and new investors, including Tencent and CATL, according to Reuters citing sources. The round values the company at 500 billion yuan (about $74.9 billion) before the new capital, and its size is double the initial target of 50 billion yuan. Other participants include Midea, Meituan, Geely and GigaDevice, with more than 15 investors in total. The terms and investor list are not final and the deal is expected to close within days, while DeepSeek, CATL and Tencent have not commented. The move follows DeepSeek's hiring of CITIC Securities in September to prepare a potential IPO on China's STAR Market.
- Tesla and SpaceX Held On to All 30,221 Bitcoin in Q3. Is Elon Musk Still Bullish on BTC?
As of September 30, Tesla and SpaceX together held all 30,221 Bitcoin, worth about $2.53 billion, without buying or selling any coins in Q3 2026. Tesla holds 11,509 BTC ($962 million) and SpaceX holds 18,712 BTC (about $1.57 billion). Tesla reported net income of $787 million, down 42.7% from a year earlier, and a roughly $290 million Bitcoin mark-to-market gain on its books accounted for more than a third of that figure. Bitcoin later fell back to about $81,881, roughly 35% below its October 2025 all-time high of $126,080. The article says Tesla's unchanged holdings since 2022 point to inertia rather than renewed conviction, and neither company has announced plans to buy or sell.
