Intel’s second act is not nostalgia but necessity. As Google, Nvidia and Apple seek a credible backup to TSMC, Washington weaponises chip policy and AI mega-IPOs loom, Intel is being revalued as strategic ballast for the next decade of compute.
Nvidia’s Taipei showcase made it clear that AI is now an industrial race to mint tokens as cheaply as physics allows, pulling memory makers into an AI supercycle and setting the stage for SpaceX–xAI’s blockbuster IPO to turn orbital compute into Wall Street’s next obsession.
Cognition has raised $1B at a $26B valuation, led by Lux Capital, General Catalyst, and 8VC. Its autonomous AI engineer Devin now writes 89% of the company's own code and is deployed at Mercedes-Benz, Goldman Sachs, the U.S. Navy, and Itaú.

Anthropic has cracked the door on Mythos, its most powerful AI model, but Australia’s biggest banks and critical infrastructure players are still waiting in line, managing fast escalating cyber risks without direct access to the tool built to expose them.
NVIDIA launches the Isaac GR00T open humanoid robot platform and positions DRIVE Hyperion as the global robotaxi standard, signalling the decisive shift from digital AI to physical intelligence.
Anthropic’s confidential S-1 filing asks public markets to judge whether frontier AI can turn strategic heat into durable economics.
DeepSeek is in talks to raise $10B at a $45B valuation — the largest first-time fundraise by a Chinese tech startup. Founder Liang Wenfeng is focused on AGI, not short-term profit, as sovereign backers rush to fund China's open-source AI champion.
As hyperscalers pour $600 billion into compute, Elon Musk builds orbital data centres, and OpenAI prepares its IPO, the second half of 2026 will cement a new technological feudalism where sovereignty is leased from lords of cloud.
The AI gold rush is shifting from dazzling tools to industrial infrastructure. As inference becomes the engine room of finance, cyber security and enterprise decision-making, the real winners will be those that make intelligence fast, reliable, scalable and affordable, not merely impressive
Liquid Instruments has raised $70 million to scale its AI driven Moku platform globally, backing Australia’s deep tech ambitions while helping engineers in defence, space, semiconductors and quantum computing replace rigid hardware with adaptable software defined tools.
Atlanta-based Stord has announced a $250 million Series F funding round at a $3 billion valuation, cementing its position as

Apple’s new research paper dismantles the myth of AI reasoning, revealing that models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google collapse under complex tasks. Released ahead of WWDC 2025, the findings challenge billion-dollar AGI claims and expose the industry’s most persuasive illusion.
AI is reshaping Western defense, but with progress comes risk. Australia stands at a crossroads: lead in securing AI-driven military tech or risk importing vulnerabilities. As global powers weaponize algorithms, oversight, cooperation, and resilience are now mission-critical.
Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince issues a stark warning about AI’s growing impact on web economics, revealing how zero-click search and AI scraping are threatening the sustainability of content creators and publishers across the internet.
Saudi Arabia’s bold $600 billion AI initiative, powered by U.S. tech leaders NVIDIA and AMD, transforms global tech alliances. With relaxed U.S. chip export rules boosting Gulf capabilities, the Global South must swiftly recalibrate strategies to compete in the new AI power landscape.
