隠れたAI債務とEUへの上訴が重しに Michael Burryは、Googleを含む3兆ドル超のオフバランスシートのAI債務をリスクとして指摘した。別途、GoogleはAndroidの開放とAI競合他社への検索データ共有を命じたEUの命令に対して上訴し、最大で売上の20%の制裁金が科される可能性がある。
これらは主な新たな重し——信用リスクと規制リスク——であり、株価の上昇を抑える可能性がある。

ジェフリーズは、AIインフラ構築に巨額を投じるビッグテック企業にとって、分裂した政府が中間選挙の最良の結果になる可能性があるとの見方を示した。月曜のリポートで、ジェフリーズの調査チームは、分断された政府と、州レベルで細分化された規則ではなく国家としてのAI政策の見通しが、AIイノベーションの速いペースの継続を確実にし、規模の大きいプレーヤーに不釣り合いなほど恩恵をもたらすと記述した。同社が挙げるテックの最大の勝者には、どのAIモデルが勝ってもモデル非依存のプラットフォーム戦略で恩恵を受けるアマゾン、Gemini 4 Pro以降でAIモデル競争に追いつく時間をより多く得るアルファベット、企業のIT部門に広く浸透していることで企業からの信頼が最も高いマイクロソフト、データセンターの許認可や規制の障壁が緩和されれば極めて大きな上振れ余地を伴って4番目の企業向けクラウドの選択肢として台頭しつつあるオラクル、メガキャップのハイパースケーラーに代わる有力な選択肢として急速に認知されつつあるコアウィーブ、AIデータ基盤のトップ2ベンダーであるスノーフレーク、可観測性が最重要となる中でのデータドッグ、MuseとMeta Business Agentsによる消費者および中小企業の勢い回復を背景としたメタが含まれる。アナリストらは、戦後20回の中間選挙のうち18回で大統領の政党が下院議席を失ったと指摘し、トランプ氏の支持率が39%近く、無党派層が24%であることから、共和党の後退を予想している。2026年の中間選挙は11月3日に迫っており、有権者は下院全435議席と上院35議席を選ぶ。トルーイストのチーフストラテジスト、キース・ラーナー氏は、1946年以来の中間選挙の年はいずれもその後1年間の株価リターンがプラスで、最大の上昇は1954年選挙後の34%のリターン、平均の1年間の上昇率は14.4%だったと指摘した。

元GoogleとSpaceXのプロダクトマネージャーであるラマ・アフロ氏が創業したスタートアップ、Satlytは、衛星上でAIモデルを動かすソフトウェアを構築するため、800万ドルのシードラウンドを調達した。カリフォルニア州サニーベールとナイロビに拠点を置く同社は、自社で宇宙機を建造する計画はなく、軌道上コンピューティングのソフトウェア層として自らを位置づけている。アフロ氏はこのアプローチをVMwareやSnowflakeになぞらえる。Satlytはすでに2回の実証ミッションで自社ソフトウェアを飛行させており、その一つはMomentusが運用する宇宙機にGoogle DeepMindのGemma AIモデルを搭載した展開で、機上のソフトウェアエラーに関する伝送サイズを60%以上削減した。アフロ氏によれば、この節約効果は衛星1基あたり年間数十万ドルに達する可能性があるという。同社のソフトウェアは木曜日、SpaceXのロケットで、インドのスタートアップTakeMe2Spaceが建造した宇宙機に搭載されて打ち上げられる予定で、3社の顧客にサービスを提供する。宇宙におけるクラウドコンピューティングのプロトコルを試験するために費用を支払うNASA、画像処理ワークロードを試験する宇宙監視スタートアップのStellerian、そしてTakeMe2Space自身である。このシードラウンドを主導したのはヒューストン拠点のNon Sibi Venturesで、20年以上の経歴を持つ元NASA宇宙飛行士のパートナー、バーナード・ハリス氏が同社の確信を固める一助となった。パートナーのケント・ルーカス氏は、Satlytが完全な宇宙データセンターの不確実な経済性に依存していないことが投資の一因だったと述べた。アフロ氏の目標は、この10年の終わりまでに衛星の20%で稼働させることであり、同社は次に、2つの異なる衛星にまたがる共有コンピューティングシステムの実証を計画しており、来年に試みる見通しだ。
