OpenAI hired former Army Secretary Dan Driscoll as Senior Counselor for National Security Modernization, a new role advising on AI for national and cyber security with U.S. allies. The Pentagon-to-AI-lab pipeline keeps getting shorter.

onsemi is buying Ferric for $600M in cash, plus up to $175M more on revenue milestones. Ferric's voltage regulators sit right at the AI chip and cut board space 50-70%. AI's power fight has reached the last few millimeters.

Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue just passed its U.S. government revenue for the first time: $984M vs $953M. Total Q3 revenue hit $2.31B, up 96%, and guidance went up again. The stock still dipped about 3% after hours. Tough crowd.

Tutor Intelligence raised $75M led by a16z for Sonny and Cassie, robots that work U.S. factories and warehouses with help from remote human "tutors." Customers rent the work from $14 an hour. Target: 1,000+ robots under contract by end of 2027.

Stony Brook study: in 60 long hospital stays, physician reviewers preferred AI-written discharge summaries 95% of the time, rating them higher on quality, accuracy and completeness. Both versions had errors, so a doctor still checks every one.

athenahealth now lets U.S. Claude Pro and Max users connect their own medical records to Claude: labs, meds, visit notes, care plans, patient picks what to share. Handy, and also a full chart handed to a chatbot. Claude is first; others may follow.

Marvell is buying Lumentum in an all-stock deal valuing the laser maker at $115B: 4.5 Marvell shares per share, about a 24% premium. The bet: AI's next bottleneck is the wiring, and it's going optical. Close isn't expected until 1H 2028.

Anthropic's amended IPO filing: $16.96B in revenue in Q3 alone, more than the whole first half. Compute costs nearly doubled in three months, the operating line slipped to a $567M loss, and the price range is still blank.

HD Hyundai Robotics says Palantir-built AI agents cut the time to fix robot-program problems from 21.5 days to 7.9 since August, and it expects programming costs to fall by more than half. Humans still sign off on the fixes.

South Korea just switched on Hangang, its sixth national supercomputer: 8,496 GPUs, 614 petaflops on paper, 24x its predecessor. It arrives about two years late and well over budget, which is also very on-brand for GPUs.

Aramco just closed its deal for 49% of HUMAIN, Saudi Arabia's national AI company: about $2.6B in cash plus its own AI and compute assets. PIF keeps 51%.

India's Affle is buying Israeli ad-tech firm Perion for about $420M in cash, a 34.5% premium. There's a 40-day window for anyone who wants to outbid.

GE HealthCare's new cath lab system hangs from the ceiling and lets AI balance image quality against radiation dose. CE marked in Europe; still waiting on the FDA here.

AI is learning to work without us watching, and that's exactly when watching matters most.

DeepSeek open-sourced a coding agent whose whole design goal is to interrupt you less. It's a research prototype, the speedup comes from a simulation, and DeepSeek says so itself.

Meta paused its plan to crawl publishers' sites for AI. The UK opened a competition probe anyway. Meta says there are "no grounds."

Anthropic told Claude to sneak bad behavior past its own training-data filter. It did, mostly by dressing it up as fiction and roleplay. A rigged stress test, not deployed Claude, but the filter's blind spot is real.

S&P just cut Meta's credit outlook to negative. The AA- rating holds for now, but debt-like data center leases could push leverage past S&P's downgrade line as soon as 2027.
