Starburst announced limited general availability of Starburst Torin, a GPU-native, Trino-based analytics engine built on NVIDIA cuDF that runs SQL natively on NVIDIA GPUs alongside its CPU engine, with up to 7x faster queries and no changes to existing SQL, applications or data. The company positions it for AI agents, which can trigger chains of dependent queries where delays slow entire workflows. In Starburst benchmarks, Torin ran TPC-H queries up to 7x faster on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, with the fastest query 11.4x faster, and an NVIDIA L4 GPU instance delivered 3.4x the ClickBench throughput of the CPU baseline at similar hourly hardware cost. Starburst is also working to integrate NVIDIA Nemotron Retriever and Kumo models into Starburst AIDA for financial services use cases such as fraud detection, credit risk monitoring and KYC onboarding.

- ServiceNow delivers industry-first personal enterprise agent and policy enforcement with NVIDIA, extending AI governance across software and silicon
ServiceNow announced general availability of Arc, a personal long-running AI agent built for the enterprise and governed by its Super Intelligence Control Tower, with enforcement provided by NVIDIA OpenShell. ServiceNow's AI Passport, which carries business rules such as risk tolerance and permitted external services, will be read by NVIDIA OpenShell and BlueField DPU enforcement layers to approve or block agent actions. Arc can run inside a secure OpenShell runtime or on an employee's desktop, handles everyday work with local models and turns to frontier models for harder tasks to lower inference costs. Users assign Arc a goal, and it plans, executes across enterprise systems, checks its own work and keeps going until the task is finished.
- Procore Collaborates with NVIDIA to Deliver Advanced Digital Twin Capabilities to Predict and Minimize Risks for Megaprojects
Procore (NYSE: PCOR) is working with NVIDIA to bring advanced digital twin capabilities to complex construction projects, currently in closed beta. Users can move between Procore's Model Manager and Realism Mode, powered by NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, to visualize projects in a highly realistic 3D environment and test how conditions such as extreme weather could affect construction before work begins. The company says identifying problems earlier can prevent costly rework, delays and schedule disruption, as nearly $7 trillion is projected to be invested in data center infrastructure by 2030. Procore's acquisition of DroneDeploy adds aerial and ground imagery to project data, and Switch, a joint customer of Procore and NVIDIA, says 3D visualization gives its teams clearer insight into progress and helps them decide earlier.

- Railtown AI Open Sources Railtracks Swift ADK, Expanding Apple Developer Access and Creating New Pathways to Conductr Platform Adoption
On October 21, 2026, Railtown AI Technologies (CSE: RAIL; OTCQB: RLAIF) announced the open-source release of Railtracks Swift ADK under the MIT license, making its native Swift framework for building AI agents available on GitHub.

The company sees this as a pathway for developers to later adopt its commercial Conductr platform to deploy, orchestrate, monitor and manage agents in production, potentially generating usage-based revenue.

- CoreWeave's business model explained: Why investors are worried
The video likens CoreWeave to a landlord that borrowed heavily to buy 51 data centers and leases them to customers such as Microsoft and Meta. The speaker says it earned about $2.6 billion last quarter, roughly $1.5 billion after operating and capital costs, yet paid $640 million in debt repayments in the same period. Those payments are projected to rise by $300 million next year to $900 million, leaving the company about $626 million in the red after accounting for everything. Debt has grown to about $35 billion, with $10 billion due within 15 months against $5.5 billion in cash, while the company plans to spend around $6.4 billion on new data centers over the next three months. An online calculation cited in the video put the chance of default over the next three years at 55%, close to a coin flip.
- Big Tech's eMudhra fixes may leave crypto bots exposed, CertiK warns
CertiK says crypto trading bots and exchange apps may remain exposed to the eMudhra certificate flaw even though Google, Apple and Microsoft have blocked eight vulnerable certificates issued by India's eMudhra. Many applications outside the browser ecosystem do not enforce Certificate Transparency or receive the same revocation protections, so browser fixes may not cover them. Attackers could use compromised certificates to impersonate HTTPS connections to exchanges, wallets and APIs, replacing deposit addresses or tricking users into approving malicious transactions, though this would also require intercepting or redirecting users' traffic. CertiK urges operators to update their software and certificate trust stores and verify that their applications reject the affected certificates.
- Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are dominating the AI stock boom. Here's their edge

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley account for a combined $52 billion, nearly 80% of the total, with prime brokerage, which includes margin loans and securities lending to hedge funds, a key growth driver. At Goldman Sachs, equities financing rose 96% in the third quarter to a record $3.37 billion. Asia, especially South Korea and Taiwan, was the fastest-growing frontier for equities.
- From Cultural Appeal to Strategies for Growing Bank Value
VPBank is placing pop culture at the core of its development strategy, as its shares have risen nearly 27% since late July, well ahead of the nearly flat VN-Index. The bank co-organized and was main sponsor of two BIGBANG concerts in Hanoi, which drew more than 50 million access visits to the ticketing platform, and then brought the group's Official Pop-up Store to its Flagship at 89 Láng Hạ, where thousands of fans queued from 3-4 a.m. The article cites KB Kookmin Bank's partnership with Aespa since 2021 and UOB's use of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour, and notes that 91 of the world's 100 most valuable bank brands sponsor sports, per Brand Finance Banking 500 2025. It says these moves turn customer experiences into a competitive advantage.
- SpaceX Bulls Rejoice: JPMorgan Sees 209% Upside
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth more than doubled his SpaceX (SPCX) price target to $500 from $240 on Oct. 21, implying 209% upside, even though the stock is still well below its June 16 high. Third-quarter revenue rose 161% to $14.6 billion, and SpaceX swung to $4.4 billion of net income from a $1.1 billion loss, with first-quarter 2027 revenue guided to $33 billion–$37 billion. Analysts' 2027 EPS estimate has risen to $2.25 from $0.65 three months ago, yet $500 equals 222x that figure, versus a consensus target of $223 as of Oct. 20. The article calls the target plausible but stretched, holding only if the annual recurring revenue forecast from CEO Elon Musk materializes, with capex of $19.6 billion in the third quarter and $35–40 billion expected in the fourth as key risks.
