Tech & Business News Week in Review: 10-17 May, 2026

Nvidia reports Wednesday — $78.8 billion consensus, Goldman at $80 billion, and the single most watched earnings print of the year. The CLARITY Act hit its most consequential moment as banking lobbyists tried to kill it four days before the Senate markup and failed. Robinhood filed its second retail venture fund as its first one doubled in price since March. And three of the biggest crypto funds — a16z, Paradigm, and Haun — all raised billion-dollar-plus funds with the same AI-crypto convergence thesis in the same week. #WeeklyTechWrap #NvidiaEarnings #CLARITYAct #StablecoinRegulation #RobinhoodVC #a16zCrypto #AIInfrastructure #CryptoRegulation #VentureCapital #FintechNews #TechBlog #PrivateMarkets #AIStartups #DigitalAssets #ParallelWebSystems

Tech & Business News Week in Review: 3 -10 May, 2026

For the first time, Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI on annualised revenue — $30 billion versus $24 billion, driven by enterprise AI agents rather than consumer chat. This week OpenAI missed its internal revenue targets and its CFO raised concerns about funding future compute commitments. JPMorgan responded by reclassifying AI as core infrastructure with a $19.8 billion technology budget. Novo Nordisk partnered with OpenAI for drug discovery. A California court created new legal liability for AI advertising platforms. And European VC raised €360 million while the IT sector quietly shed 13,000 jobs. #WeeklyTechWrap #Anthropic #OpenAI #JPMorganAI #AIInfrastructure #NovoNordisk #AIRevenue #TechNews #EnterpriseAI #FintechNews #EuropeanStartups #DeepSeek #GeminiAI #AIRegulation #PrivateEquity

Tech & Business News Week in Review: 26 April - 3 May, 2026

The biggest AI partnership in history just got rewritten. Microsoft lost its exclusive lock on OpenAI. GPT-5.5 landed on AWS the next day. The Pentagon named eight AI vendors for classified networks — and left Anthropic off the list. Big Tech posted record earnings: Azure up 40%, Google Cloud up 63%, Apple at $111 billion. Stripe spent two days in San Francisco building payment rails for AI agents. And Anthropic is reportedly fielding $900 billion valuation offers. This was not a quiet week. #WeeklyTechWrap #OpenAI #Microsoft #AWS #GPT55 #PentagonAI #StripeAI #AgenticCommerce #BigTechEarnings #Anthropic #AIInfrastructure #CloudWars #TechNews #AIStartups #FinTech2026

Tech & Business News Week in Review: 19-26 April, 2026

This week AI hit its first real political wall — data centre opponents blocked $156 billion in projects last year, Maine is considering a statewide ban, and electricity bills are becoming a congressional issue. Plus stablecoins crossed $300 billion in market cap and the CLARITY Act's yield dispute finally resolved. VC deployed a record $300 billion in Q1 but four companies took 65% of it. And European PE is quietly buying at lower multiples while US capital comes looking for a deal. The Weekly Wrap — verified signals from tech, AI, crypto, fintech, and private equity. #WeeklyTechWrap #AIInfrastructure #DataCentres #Stablecoins #CLARITYAct #VentureCapital #EuropeanPE #AIFunding #FinTech2026 #CryptoRegulation #TechBlog #StartupFunding #PrivateEquity #AIPolicy #DigitalAssets

Tech & Business News Week in Review: 12-19 April, 2026

This week's Tech & AI Wrap covers four stories shaped by one theme: constraint. Nvidia Blackwell GPU rental prices hit $4.08 per hour — up 48% in two months — as Vultr's CEO called it the worst compute shortage in five years. Anthropic's Claude API uptime has fallen below the 99.99% industry standard, and analysts don't expect GPU supply to balance until 2029. OpenAI confirmed its first permanent London office, an 88,500 sq ft space at King's Cross for over 500 employees — but paused its UK Stargate data centre project the same week over energy costs. We explain what that gap means. In fintech, Palo Alto Networks founder Nir Zuk agreed to acquire Liberty Bank in California as a launchpad for agentic AI in core banking — a move Columbia professors are calling a "demonstration project" for the industry. Paradigm is raising a $1.5 billion fund expanding from crypto into AI and robotics. And European PE is quietly outperforming: Eurazeo posted record €5.5 billion in fundraising for 2025, up 28%, while EQT's $3.7 billion acquisition of Coller Capital positions it in a secondaries market set to double by 2030.
