Nvidia Tied to $40 Billion SpaceX AI Chip Push and OpenAI Ultrafast Model Win
Nvidia is set to benefit from a planned $40 billion SpaceX fundraising led by Apollo aimed at securing exclusive access to Nvidia chips. SpaceX is seeking US$40b in new capital to more than double its Nvidia-powered compute footprint for large scale AI and space data projects, effectively treating Nvidia as the default compute layer for those efforts. Separately, OpenAI has chosen Nvidia hardware over Cerebras to run its new Ultrafast AI model, reinforcing Nvidia's role in large model training and its full stack platform anchored by CUDA and TensorRT. The key test for investors is whether these headlines turn into disclosed, multi year capacity commitments that show up in data center segment demand and long term supply agreements, with concrete contract details from SpaceX and further large scale model deployments from OpenAI that explicitly reference new Nvidia platforms such as Blackwell or Rubin. The developments sit inside a wider build out of AI plumbing across data centers and cloud platforms.

Paramount Skydance closes deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery
Paramount Skydance announced on Tuesday, October 6, that it had completed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, creating a giant company under the name Skydance that brings together two century-old Hollywood studios, two global streaming services, and two major American news organizations under one roof. Meanwhile, Anthropic announced it is expanding a special program that allows vetted cybersecurity experts to access and test the company's most powerful artificial intelligence models under relaxed safeguards on the models themselves, after its Project Glasswing collaboration helped detect more than 100,000 software vulnerabilities worldwide this year. Separately, Nippon Group Holdings, a major Japanese books and publishing group, acknowledged that one of its affiliates sold a large number of books to Anthropic, the American artificial intelligence developer, amid concerns in Japan's publishing industry that the books may have had their spines cut off so they could be scanned into digital data for training AI models and may be destroyed afterward. In Japan as well, the Japan Fair Trade Commission raided four major beer makers that together hold more than 90% of the market today, October 7, on suspicion of colluding to set wholesale beer prices, which would violate antitrust law.

Anthropic to Expand Access to Its Most Advanced AI, Claude Mythos 5.1, by Restructuring Certification Framework
U.S. artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced on the 6th that it will restructure its certification program for using its AI models in cybersecurity-related work. As a result, individuals engaged in security-related research will also be able to register, allowing more organizations and others to use its most advanced model, Claude Mythos 5.1, which has a strong ability to discover software vulnerabilities. The company will integrate its existing certification program with Project Glasswing, a framework announced in April for accrediting organizations that can use Mythos. Users will be divided into three tiers according to how they use the model. The lowest tier can include small security firms, universities, and individuals, who can use models such as Mythos for defensive work such as vulnerability analysis. The highest tier is intended for organizations responsible for critical infrastructure such as transportation and finance, and they can conduct high-risk security testing and similar work.

SingaporeUnited StatesTemasek warns AI investment momentum could stall, posing biggest risk to financial markets
Temasek, Singapore's state investment company, has warned that if the investment momentum in artificial intelligence, or AI, begins to fade, it could become the single biggest risk to financial markets right now, even though there is no sign of that happening soon. Rohit Sipahimalani, Temasek's chief investment officer, said at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore that while there is still no clear signal that AI investment is slowing, markets could face volatility in 2027. AI has been a key driver keeping the S&P 500 near a record high, even as US Treasury yields have risen. However, the overall market is not strong across the board, because roughly half of the stocks in the Russell 3000 index have fallen at least 20% from their June peak, reflecting that most of the market's gains have been driven by just a handful of stocks. Temasek believes the AI investment momentum could stall for several reasons, such as safety concerns leading governments to impose stricter regulations, or customers beginning to see AI technology investments as not delivering returns worth the money spent. At the same time, Temasek remains positive on AI over the long term and is continuing to increase its investments in the sector. Currently, about half of its AI investments are in publicly traded assets, and the company wants to raise that share to around 70-75% so it can adjust its portfolio more quickly as the AI industry changes, since unlisted assets can take longer to sell or reduce. Temasek has invested in private AI model developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, but Sipahimalani said Temasek will limit the proportion of its investments in these companies because they are assets that are harder to adjust than publicly traded ones.

Corgi Invest Launches MN ETF Offering Exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic
Corgi Invest announced the launch of the MN ETF, an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to give investors exposure to private AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic alongside Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, Alphabet and SpaceX. The fund, whose MANGOS name is an acronym of the six companies' initials, began trading on Cboe BZX Exchange on October 2, 2026, and carries a total annual operating expense ratio of 0.20%. Because OpenAI and Anthropic are not publicly traded, the fund seeks exposure to both through cash-settled total return swaps rather than direct share purchases, with combined exposure to the two private companies limited to 15% of the fund's net assets at the time of investment. Chief Investment Strategist Jeff Weniger said the fund puts that exposure inside a standard exchange-traded wrapper with no lockups and no accreditation requirement. Under normal market conditions the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of all six MANGOS companies and in instruments such as total return swaps that provide economic exposure to their equity value, with portfolio weightings set through active management rather than index replication.

Anthropic brings Claude to Google Workspace as beta add-on
Anthropic said Tuesday that its Claude artificial intelligence model now works with Google Workspace as an add-on. In Docs, Claude can fix a sentence or restyle a heading in place without touching surrounding formatting, and for bigger rewrites it proposes edits as suggestion cards in the sidebar that users can apply or dismiss. In Sheets, Claude can write formulas, build pivot tables and native Sheets charts, add new tabs, and pull a range into Python for joins or data cleaning before writing results back into the sheet. In Slides, Claude can build new slides from a deck's layouts and themes, then check its work and flag elements that overlap, run off the slide, or contain hard-to-read text. Claude for Google Workspace is in beta on all paid plans and can be installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
