Search generated $63.4 billion, or 49.7% of the $127.6 billion third-quarter revenue.

Trending Topics 3 hours ago 3

Hong Kong overtook Switzerland as the top location for managing more cross-border wealth, based on a London investment bank study. In 2025, Hong Kong held $2.95 trillion of cross-border wealth, slightly above Switzerland’s $2.94 trillion.

NVIDIA Releases Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe: An Open 30B MoE Model for 40-Language Transcription with ~4B Active Parameters

MarkTechPost 4 hours ago 16 ● 2 sources

NVIDIA released Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe, an open-weights speech language model for transcription that can generate transcripts with speaker information, timestamps, and translation. It uses about 4.3B active parameters with a 1-hour audio limit per request. Developers can swap out separate ASR, diarization, and alignment tools by using one model instead, though the release is mainly for offline use and shows weaker Mandarin meeting accuracy.

Amazon warns against tokenmaxxing, telling engineers that using more AI doesn't necessarily mean they're doing better work

Fortune 28 ● 3 sources

Amazon issued revised software engineering guidelines warning that simply using more AI doesn’t always improve work quality. It said token and lines-of-code counting are “deeply flawed,” and turning token metrics into targets can increase costs and complexity. As a result, engineers are told to document when AI tooling doesn’t help, while managers compare 10th- and 90th-percentile AI users to decide if outputs are improving.

Alphabet’s Google Cloud revenue doubles to $31 billion as cash flow stays deep red

Fortune 46 ● 4 sources

Google Cloud revenue rose to 30.7 billion dollars in Alphabet’s third quarter, but Alphabet’s shares fell after-hours by more than 11% despite the cloud result. Revenue was 31.0 billion dollars year-over-year and free cash flow stayed negative at -9.1 billion dollars as investors focused on broader business weakness and deep spending for AI. Alphabet is increasing capital spending toward 200 billion dollars in 2026 and is facing investor pressure over cash-flow strain rather than cloud demand.

Microsoft’s cloud growth accelerates, and so too does the spending

Fortune 17 ● 4 sources

Microsoft reported strong Azure growth alongside continued high spending to scale its AI services. CapEx spending is expected to reach about $170 billion in calendar-year 2026, with more than $50 billion in the current quarter. As a result, investors get further evidence of demand exceeding supply, while Microsoft’s higher capex and slightly lower operating margins signal tighter pressure on near-term profitability.

Microsoft posts $36.6bn profit after offering buyouts to one in four workers

BBC News 8 hours ago 21 ● 4 sources

Microsoft reported profit of more than $36.6bn for the three months to the end of September, shortly after announcing layoffs of more than a quarter of its workforce. It said it will offer voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 workers. The result is further cost-cutting alongside continued billions in AI infrastructure spending, with investors watching whether that spending is sustainable.
