- OpenAI Just Cut Its Valuation Target by $150 Billion
OpenAI reportedly cut the pre-money valuation it is asking from new investors to $1.25 trillion from $1.4 trillion, a $150 billion reduction after some investors pushed back, though no reason was reported, nothing has been signed, and OpenAI declined to comment. A funding round of up to $30 billion led by UAE and Coatue investors is described as an opportunistic bridge before a possible IPO. The same day, Microsoft shares fell 2.23% to $521.08 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.60% amid fears about AI spending. The article argues that Microsoft's Azure contract, including an extra $250 billion of cloud commitments from OpenAI, and a $678 billion backlog matter more than its OpenAI stake, which it puts at about 3-4% of Microsoft's value. Microsoft reports fiscal first-quarter results on October 28.
- OpenAI to bring AI models to Google's cloud, in further expansion beyond Microsoft
OpenAI will make its models available to developers through Google Cloud, putting them on all three of the top cloud infrastructure providers. The move follows OpenAI saying less than six months ago that Microsoft would no longer hold an exclusive license to its intellectual property, and Amazon announcing plans to host OpenAI models the day after. Google will bring GPT products to its model garden and Antigravity coding tool in the coming weeks. Google's cloud segment saw annualized revenue growth accelerate to about 82% in the second quarter from 63% in the first, while Amazon and Microsoft posted second-quarter cloud growth of 37% and 42%. OpenAI is courting investors at a $1.4 trillion valuation and targeting an initial public offering.
- Trump's FTC Subpoenas OpenAI and Anthropic. Inside the $500 Billion Threat Faced by Microsoft, Amazon, and Google
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission sent civil subpoenas to OpenAI and Anthropic on Oct. 15 as part of a consumer-protection probe, according to Axios. The demands seek documents on security incidents, safeguarding practices, marketing materials and privacy policies, and the FTC reportedly plans to have top AI executives testify. The combined stakes held by Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet in the two labs total about $554 billion at recent valuations. The article argues the bigger financial risk lies in how the investigation could affect the price the labs fetch when they go public.
- Microsoft's AI Chief Says It Built a Better Model Than OpenAI's With a Quarter of the Computing Power
Microsoft AI said it finished pre-training MAI-Base-2, a mixture-of-experts model with 80 billion active and 2.8 trillion total parameters, trained on 16k GB200 chips over 38 days. CEO Mustafa Suleyman was reported telling staff internally that the model beats OpenAI's GPT-5.6 using about a quarter of the computing resources, but this comparison rests on private tests and OpenAI has not confirmed it. The model is still in post-training, and Microsoft plans to license its weights to partners through Foundry, though no release date, pricing, or public benchmarks have been given. MSFT rose 1.08% to $539.44 on October 15, then fell 0.47% after hours, a muted reaction. The article says the claim could create friction with OpenAI, in which Microsoft's stake is reportedly valued at $135 billion, while Azure growth remains the main driver of the stock.
- Microsoft's CEO Just Called for a Kill Switch on AI. Here Is What It Means for the Stock.
Satya Nadella has called for emergency off switches on AI systems so authorized humans can halt a model mid-task, and the article frames this as a product decision for Microsoft, which holds about a 27% stake in OpenAI. Microsoft spent $115.95 billion on capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 and already sells control tools such as Agent 365, which had nearly 40 million agents registered two months after launch, and Purview, which tracked more than 15 billion Copilot interactions, up nearly 360%. The article argues that audit and permission controls could reduce a 'verification tax' and protect Copilot renewals, which already include more than 30 million paid seats, while also noting a more cynical view that safety rules could favor the incumbent leader. Still, fourth-quarter capex rose 109.6% to $35.80 billion, and the stock gained only 6.78% over the past year versus 19.15% for the S&P 500. The shares trade at about 30 times earnings and $541.15 each.
- Jim Cramer Says OpenAI Revenue Isn't 'Apples to Apples' With Anthropic, Daniel Newman Calls Debate 'Hilarious' — $500 Billion Wiped Out
The Financial Times reported that OpenAI told investors its annualized revenue was approaching $50 billion at the end of September, below the $70 billion previously reported. Investors had earlier adjusted the figures to match Anthropic's method of counting the full value of sales made through cloud partners. Many commentators framed the $20 billion gap as a difference in revenue accounting rather than a sales decline: Jim Cramer said the numbers are not apples to apples, while Daniel Newman blamed confusion between gross and net revenue. Under its amended Microsoft deal, OpenAI will keep paying Microsoft a 20% revenue share through 2030, and Shay Boloor argued the key question is how much of each AI dollar OpenAI keeps after Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet take their cut. Market research platform Bull Theory said $500 billion was wiped out of the US stock market on Thursday.

- TikTok U.S. hunts for multiple gigawatts of computing capacity, sources tell CNBC
TikTok USDS Joint Venture, which operates TikTok in the U.S., is looking to secure multiple gigawatts of computing capacity, according to sources told CNBC. One source said the target is four gigawatts of compute power by the early 2030s. A spokesperson said the platform runs primarily on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, which will remain its primary cloud provider. The joint venture, established in 2026 under a U.S. executive order requiring divestiture from ByteDance, has three managing investors, Silver Lake, Oracle and MGX, each holding 15%, while ByteDance retains 19.9%.
- Prediction: Amazon Could Double by 2030 if This Part of Its Business Delivers
AWS revenue reached $42.23 billion in Q2 FY26, up 37% year over year and its fastest growth in 18 quarters, yet Amazon shares at $262.59 sit below their 52-week high of $287.20. Amazon raised its 2026 capex estimate to roughly $220 billion from about $200 billion, citing higher memory costs, and free cash flow was -$7.6 billion on a trailing basis. The article's five-year base case puts shares at $489.98 by October 2030, while the consensus target is $331.46. Reaching $500 would require a 90.4% gain, implying a forward P/E of 47x on consensus FY2027 EPS of $10.5519. The author calls the target ambitious but credible if AWS keeps growing above 30%, AI margins follow the core cloud path, and revenue outpaces capex; a recession hitting enterprise cloud budgets is the main risk.
- Gemini Latest Stock Portfolio: Top 4 Stock Picks
Brokerages including Robinhood and Webull let customers link portfolios to AI agents, and Moomoo estimates about 20% of its trading volume could come from agents by year-end, per The Wall Street Journal. In the Rallies AI Arena, where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok each manage a $100,000 portfolio, Gemini is up 26% since late November, versus 13.9% for the S&P 500 over the same period, as of Oct. 20. The article profiles Gemini's four holdings, including Intuitive Surgical (11.7% of the portfolio, up 2.2% since purchase) and ServiceNow (9.4%, up 68.7%, its best result). A NBER working paper found AI models' investment strategies did not beat passive benchmarks, and researchers warned that agents using the same data could crowd into the same trades.
- AMD or Broadcom: If I Could Only Own 1 AI Chip Stock Through 2030, Here's My Pick
AMD and Broadcom have both benefited from the AI boom, with AMD shares up 421% and Broadcom up 285% over three years. In Q2, AMD's revenue rose 50% year over year to $11.5 billion, its data center segment reached $6.7 billion (up 107%), and non-GAAP EPS hit $1.66 (up 246%), with AMD projecting a $220 billion CPU opportunity and a $1.4 trillion AI accelerator opportunity by 2030. Broadcom's fiscal Q3 2026 revenue grew 86% to $29.6 billion, with AI semiconductor revenue up 221% to $16.7 billion, and it projects $115 billion in AI revenue for fiscal 2027 and $230 billion for fiscal 2028. The author gives a slight edge to Broadcom on valuation, at 19.4x forward earnings versus 39.5x for AMD, though AMD's EPS is growing faster. Broadcom's margins could decline as lower-margin AI chip sales take a larger share of its total revenue.
- AI's 'Black October': Critical PHP flaws set off global security scramble
Cybersecurity teams worldwide are rushing to patch critical flaws in PHP, a language some estimates say is used by nearly 70% of websites. Researchers at Google's Wiz and AI firm Calif found the major vulnerabilities in August using advanced AI models from OpenAI and Google, and as warnings spread, governments and businesses scrambled to respond. Figma's John Milinovich said several dozen cyberattacks in just two days would each have been the worst of an entire year, while Anthropic's Jason Clinton warned the landscape will likely get “a lot worse” and that the sector must hold on for about 18 months. Former director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Chris Krebs said smaller businesses may struggle to fix serious bugs, and noted that 3% of all critical vulnerabilities ever discovered were found in the past month.
