Anthropic revenue grows 1,100%, Q3 slides to loss as compute commitments pile up
Updated filings show Anthropic revenue around $17 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up more than 1,100% year over year, while GAAP operating profit swung to a $567 million loss from a profit in Q2 and compute costs rose to 58% of revenue. Committed spending reached about $895 billion, mostly for compute, with $70 billion due by Sept. 2027. For revenue, reports differ between about RMB 113 billion and $16.956 billion. On AI self-improvement, Anthropic says it is very close to building recursive self-improving models and has not found any current model crossing that threshold.

Google defaults off Gemini and Search for K-12 students
Google will turn off Gemini, Gemini Notebook, Gemini in Classroom and Search for K-12 student accounts by default, with schools needing to explicitly enable them, The Verge reported, citing The New York Times. The company also said schools that fully block AI will lose Google Search access, and admins cannot disable Gemini features while keeping Search available. The move ties AI access to core services, potentially affecting many schools that rely on them.

EU court advocate general says Gemini answers may infringe publishers' rights
Reuters and other outlets report that Advocate General Maciej Szpunar told the Court of Justice of the EU in the Like Company v. Google case that chatbots such as Gemini can infringe publishers' rights when they reuse news content to answer questions. If the court follows his view, Google may have to pay for using that material; a related claim concerning Google AI Overviews could partly succeed. The opinion is non-binding and the court has not ruled.

Meta launches bond sale to raise at least $20B for AI infrastructure buildout
Meta has launched a five-tranche USD bond sale, with maturities from 5 to 30 years, aiming to raise at least $20 billion, the company's first major debt deal in six months. Proceeds go toward general corporate purposes, including AI infrastructure buildout. A separate EUR tranche had been reported only as under consideration; The Next Web puts the combined total at at least $20 billion, while Bloomberg does not specify the euro piece. Its 30-year bond priced about 2.5 percentage points above Treasuries, roughly 0.9 points wider than comparable April deals, a sign investors are turning more cautious on big-tech AI debt.

Anthropic discloses $895.4B in compute commitments
Anthropic has disclosed roughly $895.4B in total commitments under purchase and lease agreements, nearly all tied to compute and infrastructure, in an IPO amendment filed on November 2. Of that, about $447.5B is expected to be paid by the end of 2030, and nearly $70B falls due within the twelve months after September 30, 2026. The filing does not say whether the earlier reports of more than 3.5GW of 2026 capacity, wider purchasing from Nvidia and AMD, or the proposed $45B guarantee for a $45B compute contract align with these figures.

Baidu unveils Apollo World world model to power Apollo Go's L4 virtual training
At its Baidu AI Day Apollo event in Shenzhen, Baidu Apollo unveiled Apollo World, a full-modal world model for physical AI, and proposed a "2+3" framework for evaluating world models. The model can generate physics-consistent, action-responsive video for autonomous driving, and has reportedly entered global testing and validation for Apollo Go's L4 virtual training. Baidu says its end-to-end driverless rides have surpassed 1 million kilometers and that the stack could be extended to robotics and other physical AI applications.
