JUST IN: Intel $INTC crashes over 20% following Q3 2026 earnings.

Gemini 4 Carbon is our next frontier model. It’s state-of-the-art across cybersecurity and long-horizon capabilities.

Excited to share Genie 4 today our most realistic and interactive world model: - steer dynamic environments in real time, shaping events, camera angles, and actions - generate native audio matched to the world, from realistic background sounds to characters who can converse in real time! - simulate photorealistic scenes and real-world physics - create more coherent multi-step events through reasoning from Gemini We've started to roll out as a research preview to trusted testers. Coming soon to Google AI Ultra subscribers in Project Genie and early access partners via the Gemini API and AI Studio.

AI is generating massive fortunes in the US and China: The combined wealth of new US AI billionaire entrants rose +$44 billion in the first 9 months of 2026, to $132 billion. Over the same time period, the combined wealth of new Chinese AI billionaire entrants surged +$43 billion, to $89 billion. This metric tracks the combined net worth of people who newly entered the world’s 500 richest list in 2026 through AI-related businesses. This includes 12 billionaires from the US and 5 from China. As a result, the combined wealth of this group in the US and China soared +$87 billion, to $221 billion. AI is creating unprecedented amounts of wealth.

⚠️ RESEARCH: Fusion reactors are going to crash the price of gold. That’s the headline. Here are the numbers: Marathon Fusion’s idea is real physics. Fire fusion neutrons at mercury and some of it turns into gold. Published, peer reviewed, nobody disputes it. Then the math shows up... A one gigawatt plant, on the optimistic models, makes 2 to 5 tonnes of gold a year. Global mines pull out 3,500 to 4,000 tonnes. One plant moves annual supply by about a tenth of a percent. The feedstock is enriched mercury. About $15,000 per milligram. Gold trades near $135 per gram. You are loading the reactor with something 100,000x more expensive than what comes out of it. And what comes out is radioactive. The bars sit in storage for 14 to 18 years before anyone can legally sell them. A plant switched on today delivers its first sellable ounce in the 2040s.

🚨ALARMING: Major U.S. banks are detecting UNAUTHORIZED AI agents accessing customer accounts, with some reportedly taking actions beyond users' instructions, per Axios. Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi are restricting third-party AI access as security concerns grow. The biggest risks: - AI agents could make purchases or move funds without clear user authorization. - Banks are struggling to distinguish human activity from AI agents acting independently. - Some AI agents have reportedly contacted bank call centers on customers' behalf. Banks are now moving toward READ-ONLY access, allowing AI to view financial information without making transactions. The growing concern is that AI agents are advancing FASTER than banks can secure their systems.

To put things in perspective, one of the main usages of PHP on the Internet is Wordpress. Did you know that 40% of the Internet runs on Wordpress? That means that with the PHP security compromise 40% of the Internet is at risk. Most people are using outdated Wordpress and will not upgrade. They don’t even know how to or the sites are abandoned. Things are about to get crazy. 2 factor, 3 factor, everything. Make safe words with your friends and family. Hide passwords like horcruxes in a tree in Albania. Do whatever you have to. Things are about to get crazy.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says money will become "irrelevant" in the future, with energy and resources becoming the new measures of wealth.

Berkshire has been quietly buying Lennar almost every day for the past 2 weeks, adding ~$600 million worth of shares, mostly around $80. They now own roughly 12% of the company, about $2.2 billion, more than double what they held at the end of June.

MiniMax M3.1 Flash: Space Performance + Bunny Speed 🚀🐰 Yes, Space Bunny - which has topped global leaderboards with 200T+ tokens - was an earlier version of M3.1 Flash. 💰Redefining the performance economics of agentic AI. M3.1 Flash achieves frontier-level intelligence across key tasks such as Cowork (Automation-Bench: 62%; ALE: 30%), Coding (DeepSWE: 74%) and Visual Reasoning (BabyVision: 91%), at 1/3 the cost of M3 and 3x the speed. API pricing (flat rate): $0.15 / $0.60 per 1M input/output tokens, with cache reads at $0.015 / 1M tokens. Model weights will arrive on Oct 23. API: platform.minimax.io M Plan: minimax.io/m-plan MiniMax Code for desktop: agent.minimax.io/download

Could Anthropic be the first major AI bubble to burst?

Put your dot on call. Ali, an engineer at OpenAI, used his dot to triage an on-call incident at 3am. His dot investigated the issue and started a Codex thread, so he could steer the work from his phone in the ChatGPT app.

With Gemini 4 Argon, your research has new ways to tell its story 📖 We used Nano Banana, Veo, and Argon to turn a dense academic PDF into a full-color, animated storybook in the @GeminiApp.

BREAKING: Tesla stock, $TSLA, surges over +5% after Elon Musk unveils the flying Tesla Roadster. The stock has added +$75 billion in market cap today.

Some magical progress towards "magic state" in quantum! Our @GoogleQuantumAI team has demonstrated "magic state cultivation" on physical hardware for the first time. The result is a 40x error reduction on our Willow processor vs. previous methods, achieving a state-of-the-art 99.99% logical fidelity. It's another step towards useful, error-corrected quantum computers to help solve the hardest problems. The result is published in Science today, watch the video below to see how it works
