  • Apple and Meta Just Teamed Up on AI, and Zuckerberg Thanked Apple's CEO by Name

    On Oct. 15, Mark Zuckerberg publicly thanked Apple CEO John Ternus for helping the open-weights model Muse Spark Open run well on new Mac Studios. Meta says the model can run on two to four linked Mac Studios with M5 Ultra chips, marking the first public partnership between the companies since around 2017. The companies disclosed no financial terms, exclusivity or duration, and Apple shares fell 0.28% to $342.00 while Meta slipped 0.11% to $736.72. Meta's Alexandr Wang said the model is not its most capable, and a Mac Studio with M5 Ultra and 256GB of memory starts at $10,799, so the market for such setups remains niche. The article notes Meta's second-quarter diluted EPS of $6.18 missed the $7.22 estimate, so the collaboration signals warmer relations rather than a major near-term earnings driver.

    AMD reported third-quarter revenue up 45% to $13.38 billion, beating the $13.09 billion LSEG consensus, while adjusted EPS came in at $2.09 versus $1.95 expected.

  • Nvidia vs. SK Hynix: Comparing Quarterly Revenue Trajectories

    The article compares quarterly revenue trends for Nvidia (NVDA) and SK Hynix (SKHY) over the last 8 quarters. Nvidia's sales have grown rapidly, driven by GPUs for AI data centers, and it forecast sales of about $108 billion in its fiscal third quarter; it also agreed to supply additional GPUs to AWS. SK Hynix's revenue surged this year on soaring demand and high average selling prices for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI processors, though the company is ramping HBM output, which could eventually push prices down. SK Hynix also began shipping its latest HBM products, showcased tenth-generation flash memory, and faces a suspended IPO for its U.S. unit Solidigm and an ongoing antitrust class action. Its shares have fallen from a 52-week high of $199.87, and Wall Street has been cautious about the stock.
