SpaceX: Q3 2026 revenue was reported at $14.58 billion, up 161%, with net income of $4.40 billion. The Super Intelligence division posted $7.56 billion, up from $813 million a year earlier, more than Starlink and launch combined. Elon Musk said $1 trillion in revenue in 2028 is “no longer impossible,” that hyperscalers relentlessly seek to rent SpaceX compute, and that Grok Bot is the fastest-growing product he has seen, with an enterprise version in beta. He said combining Tesla and SpaceX has merit “as we are pretty much in the Super Intelligence Singularity.” Eric Berger reported Starship Flight 15 will attempt to recover both booster and ship.
AI models: Sundar Pichai said Gemini 4 Argon processed about 25 trillion tokens in its first 72 hours, three times Gemini 3.0. DeepSeek open-sourced DeepInfer, the inference stack behind V4.1-Flash. Anthropic reported Claude designed protein binders against scorpion neurotoxins.
Compute: Reuters reported ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent ordered more than 3 million Nvidia chips worth over $35 billion.
Software: Cloudflare and VoidZero introduced tsrs, a Rust port of the TypeScript compiler up to 8x faster than TypeScript 7.0.
We’re living in it.
