- Anthropic's record IPO faces some big questions
Anthropic, an AI company valued at $1 trillion, is aiming for a record stock market debut, and its Wall Street prospectus published Monday lays out three threats: rivals catching up, collapsing prices and rising costs. Almost all of its revenue comes from its AI tools, with no advertising or cloud business to fall back on, and it warns its safety measures could slow capability gains. Open models trail closed ones by about 4 months on average, and the price of processing the same amount of text at the same performance has dropped 97%, from $17 at the end of 2024 to 50 cents. Shareholders floated a $2 trillion valuation in mid-August, but slowing quarter-on-quarter growth from 145 percent to 45 percent cooled expectations to around $1.5 trillion. Still, more than 80 percent of last quarter's revenue came from models less than six months old.
- Gold steadies above $4,000 as traders await Fed decision, PCE data
Gold held above $4,000 an ounce on Wednesday as bargain hunters entered ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decision, while investors weighed easing oil prices and renewed enthusiasm for AI stocks against persistent inflation risks. Spot gold was steady at $4,061.96 an ounce and U.S. gold futures rose marginally to $4,075.80. Silver was flat at $54.4065, platinum fell 0.1% to $1,542.63, and the U.S. Dollar Index edged up 0.02% to 102.34. Gold dropped to its lowest level since mid-July as investors sold bullion to cover losses when tech stocks fell, but buying from Chinese households and physical buyers has helped limit the decline, according to ANZ. The Fed is widely expected to hold rates, though traders still anticipate a possible hike before year-end as high energy costs sustain inflation concerns.
- Polish Prime Minister Reveals Expected Date for Talks Between Ukraine, US and Russia
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US are expected on November 4 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. A call between Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store and Russian President Vladimir Putin came after consultations with Poland, Ukraine and the US, and Stubb said the parties had maintained their positions, though Europe sees cautiously optimistic signals. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said no settlement can be reached without Ukraine and Europe at the table, and that Berlin will keep supporting Ukraine as long as Moscow does not signal a wish to end the conflict. Merz also assessed that Norway and Finland are playing a positive role in building a dialogue framework with the Russian government.
- Does Super Micro Computer (SMCI) Have A Bigger AI Infrastructure Story Now?
Super Micro Computer (NasdaqGS:SMCI) introduced an NVIDIA Vera CPU rack for dense agentic AI and reinforcement learning workloads in next-generation data centers, and announced collaborations with Nokia on AI-driven radio access networks and with Nutanix on private AI inference infrastructure. A Supermicro-backed cloud firm is seeking about US$5b in financing to buy AI chips, with Super Micro supporting the effort. The article says the Vera rack supports up to 22,500 agent sandboxes per rack alongside Vera Rubin NVL72 GPU systems, extending the company's role as a supplier of underlying infrastructure. Key tests ahead are whether fiscal Q1 2027 revenue of US$18.5b to US$19.5b and gross margin of 12.0% to 12.5%, due on 3 November 2026, reflect these launches, along with order backlog and progress on the chip financing. The article also flags 2 warning signs, one of them major, around working capital intensity and margin volatility.
- Breaking Development as 3 of Britain's 4 Nuclear-Armed Submarines Put to Sea
The United Kingdom has deployed 3 of its 4 Vanguard-class submarines to sea, and at least one of them carries nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles, according to Sky News. The unusual deployment of most of the fleet may indicate that operational readiness has been raised, though maintaining adequate readiness has been a challenge for the Royal Navy in recent years. The article suggests such moves may be a way to signal to rivals, and keeping at least one Trident-armed submarine at sea is seen as one of the most important guarantees of UK security. Last year, HMS Vanguard carried out a combat patrol of over 200 days, believed to be one of the longest in submarine force history, while HMS Victorious is currently undergoing maintenance at Devonport Naval Base.
