    Musk's rocket company now earns more from AI than from rockets, and is eyeing Tesla

    Most of us still file SpaceX under rockets, and Tuesday's results moved it to AI. It booked its first profit as a listed company, and most revenue came from the AI unit it absorbed from xAI, Musk's AI company, which sells the Grok chatbot, the coding tool Cursor and computing power. Musk also said SpaceX and Tesla have formed board committees to explore a merger because of AI. He likes the idea, and nothing is agreed. About a billion dollars of the profit is Bitcoin it holds regaining value, and data-centre spending doubles next quarter. A company most index funds now hold is rebuilding itself around AI, with your pension along for the ride.

    Anthropic's draft prospectus shows the decade of bills behind the Claude you rent

    Last Thursday I wrote that Anthropic showed investors an adjusted profit. The Wall Street Journal has now seen the draft prospectus, and the unadjusted version is a net loss of 80 billion dollars in six months. Most of that is a paper loss, because Anthropic sold investors notes that convert into shares, and as its valuation rose those notes became more expensive to honour, so success shows up as a loss. Anthropic, the lab behind Claude, has signed about 450 billion dollars of cloud contracts with Google, Amazon and Microsoft, most of them impossible to cancel. Those contracts are what a share in Anthropic actually buys.

    China's internet giants are queueing for the one Nvidia chip Washington still lets them buy

    For two years Washington has decided which Nvidia chips China may buy, and the queue has simply moved to the strongest chip still allowed. Reuters reports that ByteDance, TikTok's owner, Alibaba and Tencent have ordered over 35 billion dollars of an Nvidia card built for designers' desktops. Nvidia has told them it cannot promise delivery, and some buyers may get a tenth of what they asked for. The card is too weak to train the best models, but it can run them, and running models is where I see the money going now. OpenAI, once the loudest voice for tighter controls, has gone quiet now that Nvidia owns a slice of it, Politico reports.

    The US Army wants AI agents that spread through enemy networks on their own and then erase themselves

    Every agent story I have run this month was about agents wandering off uninvited. The US Army wants one that wanders on orders. Leaked documents published by the investigative site The Intercept describe ECHOTRIBBLE, an Army Cyber Command programme for agents that enter a foreign network, copy themselves from device to device, neutralise their target and delete themselves. The Army's own slides say the agent must work with minimal human oversight, with a prototype due in November. The Army did not answer questions. Hyrum Anderson, who runs an AI security firm, asked the one that matters, which path the agent takes to its target and whose servers it crosses on the way.

    A Danish town hits pause on Microsoft's data centres while the minister rules out paying the neighbours

    Denmark wants AI's data centres, and on Monday a town in western Denmark showed the local price. Varde council paused the planning of two Microsoft data centres after residents protested under the slogan that the lights go out when the data centre switches on. The pause is partly forced, since building in open countryside needs a ministerial dispensation the council has not yet applied for. The same day, the interior minister, Pia Olsen Dyhr, said Varde's idea of making the builder compensate neighbours would be unlawful. Every AI strategy ends in a field next to somebody's house, and Denmark still has no national plan for which fields, so councils decide for the rest of us.
